How big is the reservoir for the water dispenser? Also, what is the normal temperature of the water being dispensed?

Water coming out of dispenser is 59 degrees...I have a gallon of water on the shelf on the door and it is 42 degrees. Why is the water coming out of the dispenser so warm?

My Samsung side-by-side refridgerator never dispensed cold water. It was around 78 degree on the thermometer. I called Samsung to learn despite the 1-liter water reservoir being located inside the 38 degree refridgerator it will not dispense at that temperature. But why? The water line comes out of the refridgerator and goes under where it's subject to motor heat before going up the door to the dispenser. Had I known this before buying I would have picked something better designed. However, on day 62 it developed a freon leak that was unrepairable. Lucky us, we got our money back from Samsung and bought a different manufacturer!

The water being dispensed flows in a tube thru the refrigerator part, this dispenser water may not be in the fridge long enough to cool off as much as a water in a container that lives in the fridge.

Water from dispenser is not cold

Did you let water run through dispenser long enough for air to get out of lines and for reservoir to completely fill?

Can you adjust the temperature on the water dispenser?

The water for the dispenser comes from a reservoir in the fresh food section behind the crisper drawers. So the only way to make the water colder is to turn down the temperature in the fresh food side of your refrigerator. The water dispenser is designed to dispense chilled water, not ice water. hope this helps.

No cold water

Hi,

Most refrigerators with a water dispenser have a reservoir (tank) to chill the water before it gets to the dispenser. This tank is typically behind the crisper bins so the water should be the same temperature as the refrigerator. The water may start out room temperature but should be cold by the time you have filled 1/2 a glass or so.

Saying all that, there are a few newer models out there that have reduced the cost of the refrigerator by eliminating the reservoir. If you take the crisper drawers out and look behind them and do not see a tank or coil of tubing then you do not have chilled water.

I hope this helps clarify.

Water dispenser is not working

Does it make ice? If it makes Ice, then you have water to unit. If No Ice and No Water, check water supply. Otherwise, you could have a bad water valve. Remove valve and the line coming off of valve to water reservoir try to dispense water and if valve is good you should have water coming from valve. (have a bucket or bowl handy to catch water).

The water does not come out of the cool water dispenser and ice cubes come out when the water dispenser is pushed.

You may have an issue with the "electronic dispenser control board". Also, check your "water reservoir" located in the fresh food area (lower rear area) to ensure that the water is not frozen (if frozen, this will prevent water from dispensing at external dispenser).

Contact an appliance service company.

Water suddenly stopped coming out of front water dispenser. Put in new filter, no change. What next?

Three different causes. Your water reservoir in the refer section is behind your crispers, this can freeze up if you have adjusted your temperatures in your refrigerator or if you have a thermostat or damper problem. Adjust your refer thermostat to a warmer setting and wait a couple of days to see if it works. 2: Bad water valve, easy to test with an electrical tester. Remove your backing plate behind the refer. Loosen your water line to the valve to make sure you have water pressure. Tighten water line. Remove screw holding valve to cabinent. Test for 120 volts at the two wires that go to your water valve solenoid,(if there are two solenoids then trace the water line to your reservoir, the solenoid above this connection is the one to test). Someone had to press the water dispenser while you are testing voltage. I usually disconnect the water line going to the reservoir to see if water comes out when the switch is pressed. If no water but you have 120 volts then replace the valve. 3: Bad dispenser switch or wiring. This is a lot more complicated to test. Some dispenser assemblies are incredibly complicated and difficult to get into to test. I usually recommend you call a technician if you have reached this point. Good Luckd, Appliance Specialists

Water is not dispensed but icemaker is working

It's more common to be frozen in the door. You can disconnect the line under the unit before it goes into the door at the bottom hinge. Push the dispenser button and see if it comes out there. If it does leave the door open till it thaws
If it doesn't come out then disconnect the line to the water dispenser at the water inlet valve on the back where the water supply comes in and try the dispenser. if you hear the valve work but water doesn't come out, the valve is bad. If the water comes out then check the reservoir.It's behind the crispers in the fridge.

Water temperature from the water dispenser of our new refrigerator is equal to the environment temp.it is not cold at all.is it normal?the dispenser produces ice cubes but not cold water

You may not have filled the water reservoir when you hooked up the fridge. Run about 2 gallons of water through the dispenser. Then wait about 12 hours before you draw more water. This way the dispenser will fill and have time to cool down. It should stay cold after this.

Water dispenser doesnt work, ice dispenser works fine

1) remove the tubing connector behind refrig kickplate . Press for water . If no water comes from tube under refrig , then possibly frozen tank but probably not . Probably bad water inlet valve . ( tank is in the lower potrion of the refrig section behind the crispers ) .
2) if water does shoot out , then your freezer door is frozen which requires leaving door open and tapeing light switch closed and tape plastic around freezer section opening so fridge will continue to operate normally . Thawing freezer door could take a day or 2 . 3) You can plug the hoses back togather and walk by occasionally pressing water untill comes out . Lower your freezer temperature setting also ( could be set for too cold)
