No water thru door

My water stopped comming out thru the dispenser. I disconnected the water line at the bottom of the freezer door and when I push the water button the water will come out of the dissconnected tube. The problem is some where between the bottom of the freezer door and the water despenser. Any idea on how to fix? Thanks for your time,Brian

Sounds like the door area heater is not working and the tube is freezing up in the door near the dispensor. Try turning off the unit for a day with the door open to see if it suddenly starts working again. That would lead you to believing it was a freeze plug. Rarely does the line kink in the door.

Inside filter water dispenser suddenly stopped working. New filter removed and no working with or without filter . Water line is fine. Ice maker works.

Your water line could be frozen in the door. You can disconnect the line under the unit before it goes into the door at the bottom hinge. Push the dispenser button and see if it comes out there. If it does leave the door open till it thaws. Covering the opening with a blanket will prevent the loss of cold in the freezer. . GE makes a heater that will prevent this from happening again. The part number for this heater is WR49X10173.

disconnect the line to the water dispenser at the water inlet valve on the back where the water supply comes in and try the dispenser. if you hear the valve work but water doesn't come out, the valve is bad. If you don't hear the valve, the dispenser switch is bad

While water is being dispensed through the cool water outlet, water leaks thru the flexable line at the bottom of the freezer compartment door. Whats the problem, and how can it be fixed?

Due to water comming from the bottom of the dooe , you will need to replace the door water line . Pt # WR17X10206 is the replacement line . Remove the upper portion and " feed " the new line down thru the freezer door .

No water coming out of water dispenser but water is going to ice dispenser

disconnect line at bottom of freezer door and see if water comes thru there when activating switch. If it does use a hair dryer and thaw the water line by warming the inside of the freezer door. Long process but will work. Only other option is to unplug for 24 hours.

A strainer before the inlet valve can also get stopped up restricting flow.

I CANNOT GET WATER THROUGH THE DOOR, HAVE WATER TO THE LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR

Remove lower grill and disconnect the water line going through the freezer door hinge. Usually it is a push lock fitting, which requires you to push the ring

on the end of the fitting toward the center of the fitting while pulling (not hard) on the plastic tube. Now place a pan under the separated plastic hose and try the water dispenser. If water comes out, your problem is a frozen water line in the freezer door. A warmer freezer temp may help, or you can order and install a WR49X10173 water tube heater

. (the heater may take 24 hours to thaw the line, but I have used it successfully several times. Cost about $50) If no water comes out the separated tube when you try to dispense water, reconnect the tube at the hinge by pushing the plastic line back into the fitting. Now, at the back of the refrig., disconnect the water line going from the water valve to the fresh foods compartment. Try to dispense water. No water at valve outlet = bad valve. Water dispensed from valve now = frozen water filter or water line at back bottom of fresh foods compartment. (make sure you disconnect the right tube. If in doubt, disconnect them both, just get them back correctly so your icemaker continues to work) Send me additional comments if needed. Don't rate before you try all the steps.
