Water dispenser no longer works.

I have a side by side fridge. All of a sudden the water dispenser just stopped working. I don't think it's the water supply because I can see water pouring in the ice maker resevouir. The water filter could be plugged but I changed it about 4 months ago.

Where the water supply connects to the Ref there is one water valve but, two solenoids. One for the water and one for the ice maker. An OHM meter will tell you if these solenoids are good.

Solenoids good;
Set the meter to volts and check if power is getting to the water solenoid while pressing the water despensor. No power, bad switch.

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 suddenly stopped dispensing water.

most fridges stop dispensing water when you open the door. Find the door switch and make sure fridge interior light goes on/off when you manually press door switch. This would show you that the door switch was faulty.

If the water connection to the appliance is one of those watts flood-safe water lines, it may have stuck shut. I've seen this happen when the house water pressure is too high.

Does it still make ice?

If so, then the water connection is good, and either the switch in the water dispenser has failed or the water shutoff valve for the water dispenser has gone bad.

Some models have a problem with the water line getting frozen, such that simply leaving the light on in the water dispenser compartment overnight and/or manually defrosting the unit can get it working again.

Dispenser not dispensing water when we press the button inside the refrigerator. It was fine this morning. Just suddenly stopped working. Hoses all still connected.

Seam than you either have a bad water valve or you water line has froze up Disconnect the water line going out of the water valve but live the one going in still connected and whit pressure and fridge plug up. have some towels handy, Ask a helper to press the water trigger if water squirt out of the valve when the trigger is press That means than the water line has froze up and you have bad thermostat and is letting get to cold on the fridge side. Id you don?t get water to come out test if you are getting power to the valve when triggered if you do get around 120volts then change the water valve

Water dispenser no longer dispenses water. Ice maker still works

Has it stopped completely or just slowed to a trickle. If a trickle you need to replace the filter. If stopped either the feed line to the fridge has been pinched/shut off or the internal line has frozen, or the valve is no longer functional.

My water dispenser suddenly has stopped working.

Yes, it could be the water filter. Also check to make sure the water is turned on and that any lines to the refrigerator aren't kinked or crushed somewhere. It's also possible that you will not be making any ice as well if your appliance has an ice maker
