Cindy for Model Number sxd25aw After 5 yrs we connected the refrigerator to a water source, the ice maker worked as great as it did before we moved into our current residence(5 yrs ago.) The water though kept dripping out of the dispenser. Do we need to replace the water valve intlet on the back of the refigerator or is there another possible to solution to get the drip to stop. (It is a rather fast drip, and after waiting 5 yrs to have the ice maker connected I want to keep my hubby on this project until it is fixed. Please let me know soon. Thanks Cindy
Answer Cindy, Disconnect the water dispenser water line from the door assembly (remove the lickplate, locate the double hose connector, and disconnect one of the hoses), use a large pitcher or container and press the water dispenser paddle, and allow 2 to 3 quarts of water to flow through the supply tube, into the pitcher. Reattach the hose, and using a large glass dispense another quart of water through the dispenser, into the glass. This should "flush" out all the air and debris in the system and the dripping should cease. If not, then replace the fill valve WPW10245167. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
