      I've just been wondering how so much cold water comes out and after dispensing so much you can hear some noises in the fridge. I don't know it there's a cold water reservoir something or what

    I would suggest heading to the repair help section of our website (link in the description). If you input your model number there you'll have access to model and part specific troubleshooting. I hope this helps!

    This was very helpful. Observing the function of the auger assembly allowed me to cdiscern that the part needed is the ice crusher blade bearing.

    The water line feeds into the door from the bottom corner of the door. Thanks for the question!

  • @kwixotic
    @kwixotic 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What if everything works(ice and water produced properly, condenser OK,etc.) but there's an intermittent popping sound that comes from the rear of the dispenser like every few days? I thought I might have fixed by tossing out a certain amount of ice cubes from the tray but that doesn't seem to work since the noise returns anyway.
    Would you suggest replacing the dispenser or just leave it along? Thanks

    I have a problem where both the water and ice turn off when they decide - a random few seconds after the glass is removed. This encourages users to open the fridge door to shut the item. I think this will shorten the life of the fridge and wear out the weather stripping on the door. Any ideas?

    I don't have water dispensing or ice dispensing. The ice maker makes ice, but I can't get the actuator motor to turn when the switch is pushed. I have checked both micro switches with a multi meter and both are fine. I have checked the water inlet solenoid for continuity and both are also fine. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

    I have a Frigidaire Gallery French door refrigerator with bottom freezer. I have two ice makers. One in fresh food section and one in the freezer. I have already replaced the one in freezer and now the top or fresh food ice maker has stopped making ice. When I looked into it water was frozen in bin. After thawing everything out I still cannot get any ice. Water is dispensing at door but no water going into tray. Any suggestions???
