Dennis for Model Number srd22s5 I have water at the water dispenser but not at the ice maker. I ohms tested the fill valve and only got a slight movement in the needle. (around 0.2). We have moved from city water to a well. When first installed it worked fine. Been around 2 months since we hooked up. Water pressure is around 45 psi. The tube at the top of the refer pops out of the angle fitting that goes to the inside of the refer.
Answer Hello Dennis, The water line popping out from the top fitting is the indication that the water valve WPW10245167 is either bad or insufficient water pressure is being delivered to the water valve. You should make sure the water line isn't crimped and that the water pressure at the valve is sufficient. Since the water valve is closed only by water pressure, the water line should not be connected to the home water supply with a self-tapping saddle valve. These clog with sedimentation and mineral deposits too readily and cause constant complaints. If this is the method that has been used, the valve can be slid aside and the pierced hole in the water line drilled out to a 1/4 inch opening. The fill tube in the freezer will have to be thawed out with a hair dryer. This only takes about 15 minutes but will be necessary along with the valve replacement to restore normal operation.
