Kenmore Elite - Interior water dispenser stopped working

Your defrost circuit is working fine. It's the defrost drain that's clogged somewhere along the way.

sounds like the door switch. put a piece of tape or something on the switch and close the door and see if taking the slack out of the switch makes it start. Or, hold the switch in while pushing start. DO NOT put any body part inside dryer when doing this.. If this works the switch needs some adjusting.. how to do that I do not know. May be a bad switch, I just replaced mine on a kenmore other week. Maybe repairclinic.com could help ya.. have model number ready when you go to the site and look at the possible reasons. Hope this helps.

what is your model number is then we can get started then

Some of these Kenmore Elite refrigerators built by LG have a design defect that has been the subject of a class action settlement. The interior lights stay on even if the doors are shut, turning the refrigerator interior into a version of the child's Easy Bake oven toy. There are many cases where plastic interior parts of the refrigerator got so hot they melted. I replaced the 60W incandescent bulbs with 7 Watt LED bulbs just in case. The LED bulbs will not get hot enough to harm anything even if left on indefinitely.
This model also has problems with the wires inside the door (water dispenser side) The wires break inside the door and are not replaceable. I ran new wires through the interior and bypassed the broken wires to avoid buying a whole new door.

I have the same issue, but with the mainwash compartment

you have to flush dispense water on till taste gone

sounds like you have an issue withthe electronic control board locates behind refrig next to the compresssor, in a white housing

Kevinh987,

I would suggest you contact Sears and ask them to repair it free of charge, I am not aware of this model as I am from the Great North. Depending who the OEM is, if Sears did not want to fix it, I would go after them.

I have an Amana refirgerator with a top freezer and had the same problem. I turned off BOTH the frig and the freezer for 24 hours. That allowed every thing to dry out. It has been running now for a week with no problem.  

if you have not yet used it you will need to bleed the air out of the tank in the refrigerator hold the button in for a few mins to flush this out
