great help. was about to call (outside of warranty) a tech after the useless help from LG. freezer had power, ice and lights were working, and no kinked hoses. thought we'd need new valve, mother board, etc. then i found this vid and turns out the coiled hose at back of fridge, behind crisper drawer, was frozen. blow dryer worked like a charm!! easy-peasy...THANKS!
Hello there, great day to you. We appreciate your feedback. We're thrilled to hear that everything worked out well. Please know that we're always here to assist. ~Tanisha
How do you get the air out? I think this is also my problem after changing the filter. The water comes out slowly and then dies completely after 3 seconds
Thank you so much for creating this video. I was able to quickly get the water and ice dispensers to work again. You saved me lots of money today. Thanks again and God bless!
As a single mother on a budget, thank you. I didn’t put the filter in correctly, so the water stopped dispensing. I checked the line behjnd the refrigerator, and it was skitting water. I believe air was in the line. I unplugged the fridge, turned off the valve, and then tightened the connectors. I removed the filter, poured out the water, refilled it, then I put it back in correctly. That fixed the problem. Thank You, Lord, for directing me to this video because the others I watched were so confusing.

Our fridge suddenly stopped dispensing water. We’ve had it for a little under a year, recently changed the filters, it hasn’t moved since we installed it, the ice still dispenses but the water doesn’t. Not gonna lie this vid didn’t get me any closer to knowing what’s going on
Hi, Quinn. I’m sorry to hear you're having this issue, and I’d like to see if we can assist. Please contact LG Customer Support by direct message via Twitter ( @LGUSSupport ) or Facebook Messenger ( facebook.com/LGUSA/ ). ^John
This is exactly what has happened to us today. We have had ours for years. In addition to the water not dispensing, water will leak from the top left corner of our door (dispensing side) either when we try to dispense water or at times idly. Also been having difficulty finding answers online. Were you able to get any answers?
Ha. We just got ours yesterday. And this morning no water. It never even started to make ice. My husband is pissed that we just spend 3k on a fridge that doesn’t work!! We specifically got it for the water dispenser.
Informative video. The video prompted me to check the water line under the kitchen sink. That reminded me that I shut all valves when replacing the garbage disposal weeks ago🎉
We have LG LRMDC2306S. During first month we’ve had 4 service visits for craft ice maker not working. Each service call reveals the water feed line to the ice maker is frozen solid although the freezer temp is set at +4F. We added two thermometers into the freezer that log temp and they both show 4F so temp sensor is good. Does the craft ice maker line have a heater/defrost? Latest tech wants to switch out water feed line but by this point we have zero confidence LG know how to build a fridge.
:58 are you hearing a humming noise? You explain "If you are hearing a humming noise..it means the valves are energized, etc". I'm not hearing a humming noise on mine. I disconnected the water line from the back and there's definitely water coming out of the wall to the fridge, but no humming noise. What does that mean? Bad valve?
@@CJ-vs5sl Yes. after replacing the water inlet valve in the back, the water began flowing to the water dispenser! But then, I wasn''t getting ice. Water was dispensing fine, but no ice! So I replaced the inlet valve in the door, too, then that didn't get me ice, So finally, I replaced the ice maker part (about 150 bucks). Works perfectly now!
I just bought a new LG french door refrigerator am I'm not getting any water. Filter is in and I hear a humming sound. The line is coming off of my RO system that is in the basement. Thoughts? Thanks

Thank you for the tutorial. I imagine you just saved me $100+ by not needing to call in an LG repairmen. The next time I have an issue I will check your web site first! Now, what do you know about electric guitars?
We've had LRFWS2906S /00 working for a couple years, yesterday was still working perfectly fine. Today, started dispensing just few a couple drops, then none at all seconds later. Humming sound present, water supply untouched / no kinks or the like. Control not locked. Doors closed. Replaced filter. That didnt work. Like mentioned we've used it and has been working fine until today. What else could it be? Cheers.

I have an older LG refrigerator now if the filter is old will the water not dispense because I checked everything and everything lines up getting a new well help?
I do not get water at the front bottom of my refrigerator line. I suspect that water hose may come off the water reservoir tank, which is not frozen, but the water level is below the upper and lower inlet/outlet tubes. But why is my water reservoir not being filled? I have a new water valve and proper water pressure. Water is feeding the ice maker. No water is being dispensed. Suggestions? I changed my water filter to new. I changed my water valve to new. My water selection is not providing water, but instead, churning ice. Could the water, crushed, cubed computer board be defective?
Good thoughts. Also consider if your filter and the input to it freezes. Replace the filter, hair dryer for a few minutes into the opening for the filter…voila…clear line (that’s what happened to me).
Hi there. We appreciate you contacting us with your inquiry. In many instances, if you're utilizing filtered water from a reverse osmosis system, you might not require an extra water filter for your refrigerator. It's advisable to check the user manual of your specific model for optimal guidance. Should you have any additional questions or need more help, don’t hesitate to reach out to us via direct message on Facebook or X @LGUSSupport. We're here to assist you. ^Con
My problem is not that the water will not dispense, the problem is it will not stop. We have to push the lock button you mention to stop and start the water. Meaning when it is unlock the water flows non stop. Any suggestions?
My issue was no water, but holding down the water dispenser and opening the door it’d dispense water for a second or two. Tricking the sensor with a magnet, I figured out it’d only dispense water for a few seconds when the door was open 30%, none closed, and none full open when tricking the hall sensor with a magnet. I pulled the top cover off the hinge by removing the one Phillips head screw and pulling up on the cover. I pushed the waterline (wrapped in a metal spring like covering) into the door about 1/4” or so as there wasn’t much room and I got consistent water regardless of the angle of the door when tricking the sensor. Water dispenser worked as advertised after that little adjustment, put it all back together and working solid. I hope this helps someone in the future, thanks for the video to help guide my troubleshooting!
Hi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

Is the water supposed to come out cold? Cus mine is room temperature. ice maker is working perfectly and everything els. We’ve had the fridge less than a month.
So sorry to hear this! Unfortunately we do not have customer service on TH-cam. Please send a message to our support team on FB or Twitter (LGUSSUPPORT). Thanks! ^Emma
so... what does it mean when you touch the lever and you DO NOT hear a hum? is the unit defective? Everything else seem to work. The filter is NOT under pressure so I'm assuming the water dispenser is junk! I had my 6th service call this morning for this refrigerator. Is this issue now going to be my 7th.?
This is the same for me, water line connected and on. Did the magnet test and they work, replaced the filter and no hum and it is not dispensing water or ice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Same thing is happening for me. Just replaced the filter and water and ice making stopped! Did not cover that. So frustrated. Unit is only one year old!
I ended up having over 10 service calls. Lost over 2k in wages due to having to be here for service. Filed a complaint with BBB and still no resolution. I will NEVER buy another LG product!
@@mindypoplars8526 Call the Attorney General's office in your STATE. There might be a RECALL on these LG refrigerators because I'm seeing alot of people here are commenting about similar issues with this LG refrigerator.
Hey there. Yes. A kinked water line will stop water from flowing into your LG fridge. Ensure the value is open so you can have pressure when dispensing water. For more questions, private message us on social media @LGUSSupport. We're just a click away! ^David
I'm getting the hum when I try to operate the dispenser. However it's a brand new fridge and I am getting water to the filter. Water is coming out if I remove it
I've got and LG LFX25973S /00 with the icemaker in the door. The water dispenser started spraying all over instead of a stream; like holding your thumb over the end of a water hose. I can't find any information on this issue and have had no luck getting the dispenser out of the door. Any help?
Hi, there. We appreciate your question regarding this matter. If the water inlet valve and control board appear to be working properly, but you still don't hear the humming sound, there could be an issue with the dispenser lever switch or wiring harness not detecting when the lever is pressed. If that's the case, you may reach out to us through direct message for further assistance. ^Mau
My old refrigerator stopped dispensing water so I lived with that for a year and when I replaced it with a new refrigerator the water will not go on so for some reason I’m not getting water to the valve behind the refrigerator,Even the guy that installed it told me my water valve is not working nothings coming out. and this is only a 10-year-old house with the little built in valve behind the refrigerator
Hi there. We regret to hear about the water dispensing issue with your LG refrigerator. To address this issue, please check that the water supply valve is fully open and inspect for kinks in the water line. Try dispensing about 2.5 gallons of water to remove any air trapped in the line, and ensure the water filter is properly installed or consider replacing it.

My Samsung is brand new I just had to hold the water dispenser down with a cup under it for about 60 seconds so the water could travel all the way through the machine then it started working. I also moved it away from wall before doing this so may have loosened the water line.
My water and ice stopped dispensing. It still makes ice and fills the bucket, but no ice or water will come out of the door. I replaced the filters. When I push the water button there is no humming

LG WAS WORKING, and THEN... Everything was working perfectly, and then the water stopped dispensing. No harm, nothing. The ice machine would dispense ice that was already made but it wouldn't make any more ice. The magnet switches identified that the doors were closed and the light was turned off. You can also find this out by putting a cell phone and recording the fact that the light turns off inside the refrigerator when you close the doors. This is a $4000 refrigerator & after 2 weeks, this shouldn't happen! Checked everything, any suggestions?
Maybe begin by asking if ice is being made / water is reaching the ice maker and advising people accordingly....sorry for the bad rap but I just wasted my time
