My water dispensor INSIDE the door froze up. I payed a repair guy $75 to use MY BLOWDRYER to "thaw" the frozen water line INSIDE the freezer door (below the water dispenser).
He said anytime the frozen food extends over the freezer shelf and touches the freezer door for a long enough period of time, the water line inside the door FREEZES!!
PREVENTION: "Keep some airspace between the door and frozen food."
When you want water, do you hear the click sound... if not..your switch on the water handle is defective or the water control valve to defective, this is separate from the ice maker
Your water line may be frozen through the freezer door. Remove the kickpanel at the bottom and you will see a quick disconnect. remove it and shut the freezer door and call for water. if you have water to that point then you know the line is frozen. Only fix is to replace the door or let the ref thaw for 24 hrs. Hope this helps. MJ
The water line runs through the door and this is where it freezes. It's usually defetive insulation. Other than replace the door you may can tape or other wise fasten more insulation to the inside of the door in the area you think it's freezing in.
check inside the bottom of the refrigerator for water, the water line goes thru the back of the refrigerator and it may have cracked and leaking inside instead of going to the dispenser. if not then water is most likely frozen in the line going thru the back of the refrigerator. look behind the pans in the refrigerator and there should be a coil of clear plastic water line, this is the reservoir that chills the water for the dispenser. sometimes it will freeze up if the refrigerator is very cold.
Dripping problem is from 2 sources. Faulty water valve or faulty water connector behind refrigerator. If the dripping is constant and doesn't seem to end, then it's a faulty water valve. If the dripping stops after awhile, then the water connector is allowing air into the water line causing the dripping. Have that connection checked to make sure that it's securely in place.
Texas, sounds like your water reservoir is frozen up. Remove your 2 cripser drawers, you will see the reservoir behind them. Take a hair dryer and go over the tank and tubing ends. See if the water starts flowing. I find a lot of frozen water reservoirs on these french door models. They have a insulation kit for them. Catriver.
Most likely it is the High Voltage Control board located in the unit compartment (take off the back cover where the water lines are) i have had lots of them failing and doing all kinds of odd things, so far it has been that computer. Part number 12002608
