No water coming out of valve in back of refridgerator when button is pushed\

It is fairly common for the water tube in the door to freeze. Remove the front grill at the bottom of the refrigerator, find the water disconnect to the door and disconnect one side of the tube. Most newer connectors just have a little ring that you push in and this releases the tube. Push the water dispenser lever for just a second and see if water comes out the tube. If it does then the tubing in the door is frozen. You will have to shut off the refrigerator off for a while and leave the door open so the tube can defrost. Push the tube back into the connector under the refrigerator and wait. after an hour or two water should come out the dispenser. Another possibility id this doesn't work is the water tank is frozen in the fresh food section behind the crisper. Again you will have to shut off the refrigerator and let things thaw out.

Confirm the water is on by slightly loosening water connection as it enters the back of the fridge. Next check to see if the water is leaving the water valve as you are pushing the water button. If so you may have a clogged water filter inside the cooler. If no water is coming out of the water valve then the problem could be the valve or electronics that control the valve.

It could just be a frozen water tube without enough slope to drain leaving water traped between the back wall and ice maker. Another problem could be that some models have a screen wire filter on the inlet electric water cylinoid valve that controls the water to only the ice maker. Located under the refrigerator. Yours will have two or a double and a single. Also unplug the refrigerator then unplug the two spade connection and check the electric windings for a open circuit. Anything under 1000 down to 25 ohms are good. To find which valve controls the ice follow the hose. Or have some one push the wat

It depends on the refridgerator. Some have two inlet valves. Basically, you have a water line from the home. Usually copper line. You also will have two places for water lines on the opposite side of the inlet valve. Sometimes you may only have one. The line leading from fridge ( if ice and water through door) will hookup to the line where you have the fridge connactor. The quick connects to the inlet valve. The second one will be for ice maker. That water line runs up the back of fridge into freezer. Make sure you place the quick connects in the right spot. Process of elimination because some inlet valves wont let you change the hoses once installed. Connect the main water line from the home. Connect both quick connects dont connect water lines yet. Push the water thru the door botton and see which valve opens on the inlet. Which valve on inlet opened and allowed water to come out. That is for fridge and other is for icemaker.

If you need further assistance please feel free to contact.

Disconnect the wires on the water valve.(or unplug the frig) If the water stops the dispenser control is defective. If the water continues the valve is stuck and needs replacing.

You can do it your self . Only 2 screws and a water line connector hold it in place ( have to remove the back panel first ) . The 2 plastic lines just push into the valve , where they lock into place . To remove the lines , push in on the white "ring" and at the same time , pull out on the plastic water lines .

If it overfills and drips, look for an adjustment behind the plastic endcover with a +/- on it. - is less water.

If it continuously drips, replace the water inlet valve on the back where the house water supply comes in.

Hi,

I see your installation date has come and gone, but if you still need to hook up the water you can find an "ice-maker kit" from almost any home improvement store (such as Lowes, Ace, Home Depot etc....) This includes 1/4" bendable copper tubing and a valve that will tap a near by cold water supply pipe. If you find a kit with plastic tubing, I would steer clear and find the bendable copper. Plastic tubing kits are notorious for springing leaks. Buy some extra compression nuts and washers for the tubing while you are there, it may take more than one try to get a waterproof seal if this is your first time hooking up water and ice dispenser.

When hooking up the tubing to the back of the refridgerator, leave a couple coils of slack to allow the refridgerator to be pushed in or pulled out without straining the connection. There is usually a small clamp on the refridgerator back to hold the tubing steady, make sure you use this. This will help ensure a leak free connection. After you have the tube hooked up, push the refridgerator all the way back, then pull it back out and check for leaks. Sometimes the tube will start dripping a bit after the refridgerator is moved, so this step helps ensure you won't have leak problems.

This is Gene's solution not mine, for a Ge fridge.
Assuming the ice dispenser works fine, the first thing I would check is the water filter, then the water inlet valve on the back of the fridge.

If the water filter is more than a year old it will cause restriction to the water flow.

Locate the water inlet valve on the back of the fridge. Remove the wires from the blue solenoid and check for 120V coming to the solenoid while the water dispenser lever is depressed.

If there is 120V then the water inlet valve has to be replaced.

When you press the trigger an angled piece on the end of the plastic rod attached to the trigger pushes valve button in that then releases fluid. On releasing the trigger, the valve button is supposed to be pushed back out by an internal spring. The button gets sticky with evaporated cleaning fluid and does not come back out, causing fluid to continuously run. Try taking the machine outside, fill the tank with very hot water, pull the trigger, and let the clean, hot water flow through the valve. Perhaps it will free up. If not, the valvle will have to be replace. Either way, once it is working, ALWAYS flush the entire system with hot, clean, clear water to remove any cleaning solution in the system or it will only clog again
