Stomach pain drinking from refrigerator water dispenser

Definitely.  We have a Kenmore side-by-side but I believe that's made by Whirlpool.  Drinking from the water dispenser seems to be the main issue, but I wonder if the ice is contaminated too?

I have know water for drinking only drips

Have you changed the water filter lately? They need to be changed every 6 mos. They clog up and restrict water flow to your dispenser at the door.

Dispensed water tastes like plastic

If the refrigerator is new, or if you used PVC cement, it's normal to get this taste for a few days. Take water out but not for drinking in the next days.

It's not making ice. Not sending water to the ice maker. I replaced the filter this morning. Water is dispensed for drinking , but not for the ice maker.

I just replaced the water valve because my water dispenser in the door kept dripping. Google parts for your model and put in water valve. It will cost around $80 for the part. My sic year old did most of thr reacement after watching an online video.

Whirlpool ref side by side.. water will not flow into ice maker so it makes no ice . Water does come out of drinking dispenser

The start device on some models of refridgerator for maytag and whirlpool have been recalled. If your appliance was manufactured in the last 5-10 years you may be having an issue with this component. Mine recently caught on fire at this device that is located near the compressor. If you would like to be a part of the petition for a recall on this appliance contact me at [email protected]

Kenmore coldspot water dispenser stopped working. Ice maker works. What could be possibly wrong?

On the rear of your refrigerator there is a dual water control valve. One side for ice maker and one side for water dispenser. I believe your side for the water dispenser has failed and they come as a set. Send the Kenmore model number and I will find you one. The number will look like this, 326.256489 for example only. Found near the bottom of the fresh food section door. Thanks, Sea Breeze
