Thomas E for Model Number ZISS480DRSS

The water dispenser turns on by itself. The child lock button stops it (you can hear the child lock beep when water wants to flow). Disconnecting the power to the freezer door also stops the flow. I've seen the suggestion to replace the switch. Problem is I cannot figure out how to get the dispenser trim off. On this model fridge the plastic trim is inside the stainless steel freezer door skin. Simple physics says it won't come out from the front. But there must be some simple trick.

Answer

Thomas, Here's what we have for you : "REMOVE DISPENSER COLLAR AND CONTROLS (See Step 5B for stainless steel models) • Grasp dispenser collar on each side at the bottom and pull forward until it snaps out of the door. • Remove one screw below the dispenser control. Remove the glass control panel by pushing in and up at the bottom of the board. Unplug the three connectors. Set the controls on a padded surface to prevent scratching or damage. Step 5 a&b ON TRIMMED MODELS • Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove handle and trim screws from all sides of the door. REMOVE STAINLESS WRAP • Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove screws from top, bottom and hinge side of the door. • Gently, remove stainless steel wrap with handle. CAUTION: Stainless wrap can bend and crease easily! • See Step 1 for instructions to remove dispenser collar and controls." So in short, you'll need to remove the S/S door panel and or trim, then remove the "collar" and the switch assembly. Good Luck and Thanks
