Water dispenser and Ice maker not filling with water.

I replace the resevior inside the fridge on a Model Whirlpool ED25PWXANO1. Turned the water back on, nothing happend. I removed inlet line from fridge, water flowing fine. I reattached and line and turned it back on. Still no water flowing from intake to water dispenser and ice maker. I bought this used and it was working on Sunday except for a leaking reseivor. Is there a reset, fuse, etc. that needs to be checked in order to make the machine work or do I need to replace the intake valve for the dispenser and ice maker ? Thanks for your assistance.

I think what it is the water pump that has broken and needs looking at, you have done everything right so far as troubleshooting the problem yourself, a fuse doesn't control the pump, its a servo or the pump itself, these should be fairly easy to replace at an inexpensive cost to you as its nothing major.
An engineer will be able to do this for you unless you fancy tackling the problem yourself

kind regards

You need to replace the intake valve. First, check if it's clogged. By cleaning it, it can be fixed.

Whirlpool refrigerator WSF26C2EXF01 water dispenser not working

This sounds like the water inlet valve has gone bad.. First before u replace it check to see that you have water coming to back of fridge as it could be restricted causing no water to reach the fridge.

My whirlpool ed20db ice maker isn't making ice. Inlet tube is frozen solid

Thanks for the model number. The water control valve=> W10245167 Water Inlet Valve will need replaced when this happens. Problem allows water to leak slowly into the ice maker and fill tube can become solid very quickly, or very messy ice formations coming down from ice maker, Thanks John Tripp Appliance 911

I have a side by side Whirlpool fridge and the ice maker is not working. If I have it turned on (lever down) and door is closed and water leaks out the front of the ice dispenser and it doesn't seem to...

How old is the fridge? Mine lieterally caught on fire at the start device last weekend. My fridge was manufactured in July 2001. Be careful, The fridge I have is model# ED5FHGXKQ00. I am currently requesting a recall be made by Whirlpool on this appliance.
Other than that it could just be that the ice maker line has frozen or the "arm" in the ice chest is stuck and can't raise itself to pump water directly into the ice trays. Either way be very careful. I hope this was helpful.

Whirlpool GR2FHTXVQ00 fridge. Water dispenser

The water inlet valve on the back of the unit where the water supply comes in can have a slow leak and will cause ice to buildup and block the fill tube. Disconnect the ice maker line from the valve and watch to see if it has a slow drip. It doesn’t take much to eventually block the fill tube.
The valve can leak because of sediment in the water preventing it from closing or low water pressure.

You can thaw out the fill tube and replace the inlet valves.

Ice maker is not filling w water. water does come

The ice maker likely needs replaced however it could also be the fill valve. If you have the ability to locate the valve at the end of the fill hose (usually bottom right when looking at the back of the fridge) it will have 2 solonoids with electical connectors on them. Swap the connectors and press the water dispenser paddle. This should fill the icemaker. If it does, the valve is fine and the icemaker is bad.

ICE MAKER QUIT MAKING ICE ON MY WHIRLPOOL FRIDGE

I had a Whirlpool Model GD5SHAXNS in which the icemaker quit working about the same time (3 years old). I had water out the dispenser, I found that it was the icemaker itself failed not calling for water to fill it. I replaced it with a icemaker on-line for about $100 and problem fixed. I have been told his is a common problem with the icemaker in this model ref.
