I WOULD CONSIDER CHECKING THE WATER INLET VALVE FOR OHMS AND FOR LIVE VOLTAGE
AS YOU MAY HAVE BAD COILS
I have a Kithenaide refrigerator and the pressure - kithenaide-refrigerator-pressure-keeps-kvax0h5nolktkyinzrohy2he-2-5.jpg0h5nolktkyinzrohy2he-2-5.jpg" alt="kithenaide-refrigerator-pressure-keeps-kvax0h5nolkI have a Kithenaide refrigerator and the pressure - kithenaide-refrigerator-pressure-keeps-kvax0h5nolktkyinzrohy2he-2-9.jpgds/images/kithenaide-refrigerator-pressure-keeps-kvax0h5nolktkyinzrohy2he-2-9.jpg" alI have a Kithenaide refrigerator and the pressure - kithenaide-refrigerator-pressure-keeps-kvax0h5nolktkyinzrohy2he-2-14.jpgpg" class="h_mi" />
The water inlet valve is operated by line voltage supplied through the ice maker control. Power is applied for approximately 7-9 seconds during the harvest cycle and energizes the solenoid on the valve to allow water to flow.
You can check the solenoid for continuity with a multi-meter. On models with multiple solenoid inlet valves, you will need to determine which portion or portions of the valve are used for the ice maker. You can normally follow the inlet tubing from the ice maker back to the valve. Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water supply to the valve before working with this part.
(HOW TO TEST INLET VALVE: Inspect the filter screen where the supply line connects. Remove any debris or deposits that may have built up using a toothbrush or warm running water. If you cannot clear theclog, it will be necessary to replace the valve (the filter is not removable on most inlet valves). Test thewaterinletvalve for continuity using a multImeter. First, inspect the coil for an indication of it's ohm rating. If no information is printed on the coil, then use the range of 170 to 500 ohms. Set the multitester to the ohms setting X100 (if available, otherwise use the nearest ohm setting). Place a probe on each terminal. The multitester should display a reading that matches the coil's rating or if you don't know the rating then it should fall into the range of 170 to 500 ohms. If the water inlet valve does not pass this test, it should be replaced. If the inlet valve has two coils, test the second coil in the same way (note that they may not have the same ohm rating). The valve can also fail mechanically. So even if it passes the electrical test, it may still require replacement. If you have ruled out all other possibilities, go ahead and replace the valve.
Check the tap valve.A bad tap valve-the little device that connects the ice maker's water supply tube to the water pipe-may cause the problem where the ice maker's supply tube connects to the water pipe. If necessary, replace the inlet valve and the tap valve. For the tap valve, use the type that requires you to drill a 1/4-inch hole (as opposed to the "self-piercing" type). You can buy anice maker connection kitand do this yourself, or call a repair person or plumber to install an inline water filter when replacing the valve.
SOURCE: water dispenser won't work
see my posts in my solved solutions on water line freezing. I can email you a bulletin for a heater kit.
SOURCE: Amana refrigerator water dispenser
could be carbon particles from a broken carbon filter cartridge. replace the filter and flush about 5 gallons of water before checking the water again that comes out of the dispenser.
Your stated water pressure is abnormally high; well systems supply 30-60 pounds of pressure and municipal systems are *supposed* to be around 60# since most plumbing (faucets, showerheads) is designed around that point.
If your pressure has been measured at that level, more than your refrigerator is at risk of failure.
SOURCE: smelly water dispensed from ge profile refrigerator
flush the water tank put a glass press for water and keep flushing on till smell gone
SOURCE: water leaking at filter
If this is a Pure source 2 filter in the upper right hand side of fridge, Purchase an Electrolux filter bypass, P/N 241944302. This is a empty cartridge that lets water flow without water drip when filter is clogged. Fridgidaire/Electrolux made no bypass in these filters, so when clogged they leak. Plus they NEVER last more than about 30/60 days. If you use the bypass, you will need a separate filter elsewhere such as in water line under sink or behind fridge.
