Another tip from a mom with no idea what I’m doing I took my filter out and shook it til all the water came out then replaced it. Then I wiggled the wire things on the back of the fridge and viola it works again!
Thank you! My situation is that my water dispenser is working, but the ice maker doesn't seem to be getting water to it. I removed the valve, cleaned it with vinegar and ran compressed air through it to see if there was any obstruction. After reassembling everything, I wasn't seeing any water come into the ice maker. I watched your video and used your diagnosis step with the filter and can confirm that im getting water out of the right side of the filter and not the left side. For anyone trying to troubleshoot their fridge, it looks like part of my inlet valve, that controls ice, has died. Will be ordering a new unit to confirm if this is an accurate assumption.
Thanks for this video! My ice maker is not working and I remember seeing a lot of water on my floor and frozen water running down the inside of my freezer door and could not figure out where it came from and now I know this is more than likely what I am dealing with! Thanks again because I was thinking I needed a new ice maker.
Follow-up: It was actually the water filter. I did the test (like you instructed)and water came out of one sprout. I then reinserted the filter and noticed it pooped out. I pushed it harder to put it back in place. Water is now working. I’m sure someone bumped it or something. Easy fix and saved money on a refrigerator repair company. 😀 Not sure about ice yet, because only one sprout shot water. Plus it’s only been a few minutes. We’ll have to wait and see, but right now just happy to have water back after 4 months no water.
My frigidaire dispensor augur will not turn the ice. The ice dispensor only on pushes water thru the water . And the water dispensor switch turns the what sounds like a mort for ice. Nor does my light work on the panel. Its never been used but the warranty is expired. Im thinking a new panel but wondering if i should try to refigure the wiring and or harness. Any tips i could use on my journey to the center of my gf's world so i can get some peace...on ice. Lbvs
How come your water pipe looks that clean (white) mine is so brown. I live in NYC and we don’t drink tap water. So is it worth it fixing the water&ice dispenser?
No water to the dispenser, but my ice maker is working? I checked the water line under the freezer door and no water going to the dispenser? Any suggestions?
My Frigidaire is creating ice and dispensing water its not dispensing the crushed or solid ice. What could be the issue? When we press we can hear the motor but nothing comes out.
Hey man I did that pen thing and at the same time I pressed the water dispenser and water is making to the filter are but when I put the filter on the water just builds up there and dosnt dispense...help me out thanks !
Why is my water coming out though the left valve up top and not the bottom host ?? Can someone help me I took the filter out and when I push the pen 🖊️ like you said in the second whole to the left water came out instead of coming out of the door like is supposed to ??? Please Help not sure what to do in this case 😢
Hi, I got an LG refrigerator and the issue I'm having is ice maker is not working although I get water dispensed at the door fine. I don't believe ice maker is getting water, the tube's end where water comes into the ice maker has a corroded tip. I put a pin inside the tube and didn't feel any obstruction though. Could it be a bad inlet water valve? Thanks!
open freezer, and see if the the ICE GRATE WHEEL IS SPINNING, IT IS THE METAL PRONGS THAT FLIP OUT THE ICE,,if it is spinning,then you have another problem,but will walk you through it😁
@@EIBLG Do appreciate that! Yes, the ice crate wheel spins when the door's ice dispenser lever is depress. Also, the automatic shutoff arm's in the appropriate down position. Thoughts?
@@EIBLGmy Samsung won’t dispense water and ice , If I remove then filter, I have water when dispenser is push. When I put the filter back, It works for a bit then no more water. What’s causing it not flow when filter is put back ?
I get water to the filter when I take the filter out I can see water is coming back it either backfills or leaks behind the fridge but water isn’t getting to the dispenser or ice maker
If I screw the cap back in though without the filter I’m still not getting water to the dispenser or is the filter a necessity to complete the circulation?
I am not getting water flow when I press the valves behind the water filter, but when I press the one on the right and press for water, I am getting water spilling out from that area. Anyone with an idea of what that might be caused by? Obstruction? Or is it still the same fix as he did?
NOCTURNAL MULTIMEDIA GROUP From further testing I’m getting water from the left valve (Yellow water tubing) and nothing from the Right side (Clear Tubing)
If you can devise a way to eliminate the filter yes it will work but the water flows through the filter and then to the ice dispensing in water part of the refrigerator

This video was quick and concise. I especially appreciated the "plunge" technique for the filter.
Thanks.

Control panel with the buttons to push for ice or crushed ice
Yes. And when i push for crushed ice. Nothing works. At all. No water no sounds.

What if water only comes out when you press the left valve but not the right? My ice maker is not working . Could the filter be the cause?
How come your water pipe looks that clean (white) mine is so brown. I live in NYC and we don’t drink tap water. So is it worth it fixing the water&ice dispenser?
If your not using it for water or ice,forget about it🤌🏽 This video is old,we but our water and ice nowdays..
No water to the dispenser, but my ice maker is working? I checked the water line under the freezer door and no water going to the dispenser? Any suggestions?
The computer head for the dispenser may be bad
How did you pull out the filter that easily? Mine is stuck.
I’m trying to figure out why mine not dispensing water nor ice.
I just pull it out,maybe it's frozen in there
I think you have to push it in first and then pull it out.
Is exactly my case.
Hope I can fix it. Thank you.
My dispenser control board is bad, how do you get the cover off to replace it.
Good vid. Thanks.

Could have frozen reservoir. If so blow dryer can thaw out then recheck.Also a kinked line could obstruct the flow, before changing inlet valve.
my issue was the pump,thanks for the feedback

Is the water filter out safe to drink & how often should I change the filter?
I dont think your water will come out without the filter installed. Change filter every 6 months. Please Subscribe! Thanks for Watching

good camera team
Thats a tall dude, like a foot taller that the fridge.
I tried the plunger technique and I had water coming out of one of the valves and the other not so much.
Fixed mine by only taking the ice maker out and turned the fridge off for 30 min It was frozen.
I replaced the fridge water filter and now The water just dribbles out. If I take out the new filter and try the dispenser I get water out. Any ideas?
Thanks mines doin D same thang
Welcome
Thanks so much!!
you are most welcome Please subscribe to my channel if you do mind!!!😁
Lol I remember pen guns lol!
What if I punch one hole and it shoots water but when I punch the other hole no water comes out?
We found the the water hose was kinked now we are getting water and waiting to see if it makes ice
Could it be frozen...
the fiter can freeze,but not the pump.... Please Subscribed
is this Micheal Beasley?
Nah,I'm much more handsom!😁
so i got no water dispensing to ice tray.check the filter and water comes out.theres also water coming out of the water dispenser.
Make sure the ice maker rotate arm is up first,and does the icemaker rotate
@@EIBLG rverything on it works besides no water going to ice tray.

I jumped the ice tray and no it’s not turning.but if u jump the water valve it works.
@@israelrivera2830 ice maker broke
Have a fridgidaire fridge I had to push the water button while pushing in with pen to get water out behind the filter
clogged filter
@@EIBLG yep fridge was too cold and it froze inside filter.
The main valve doesnt put water to the filter unless your calling for it on the lever for your cup. Or if its trying to make ice
Lol
Are you serious with this comment???????
Isnt that the purpose of this video? To fix the inlet valve so the water can flow AND PRODUCE WATER AND ICE smh
We replaced the water valve and its still not working! Any ideas?
water valve?
I am not getting water flow when I press the valves behind the water filter, but when I press the one on the right and press for water, I am getting water spilling out from that area. Anyone with an idea of what that might be caused by? Obstruction? Or is it still the same fix as he did?
so your getting water from the water dispenser???
NOCTURNAL MULTIMEDIA GROUP From further testing I’m getting water from the left valve (Yellow water tubing) and nothing from the Right side (Clear Tubing)

from the video,either you have a restriction from that distribution box to the basement water supply as fa as I can tell.. best guess!

Nice. Thanks, man!
will water dispenser work without water filter
