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.

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.
