Re: Whirlpool US style water dispenser problem

Well this is very frustrating to say the least. The new pipe that was installed for the fridge wasn’t cleared properly so after another check to make sure water preassure was good i saw a piece of solder stuck in the screw on connector i took it out and reconnected hoping i had cured the problem. There must be some more solder that has travelled up the inlet tube that is now trapped somewhere. Can any one shed some light on this? short of replacing the whole hose system. If thjat is my only alternative is this a job i can do or do i need to call out an engineer?

I am so angry over this because i specifically asked if all the “crud” had been cleared from the new pipework and was told yes, i guess i should have checked my self before connecting the fridge to it 😳

Re: Whirlpool US style water dispenser problem

Here is the update.

Greg was spot on with his diagnosis, it was indeed the tube under the door that had come apart.

Problem number 2 now the water flow is at a near trickle and it doesn’t shut off right away. I have done the idiot tests already the water supply is fully turned on etc. This never happened before so i am puzzled by it. The only thing i can think to mention is that the fridge hasn’t been connected to the water for about a year so is there some connection here?

Thanks Again

John

Power off first of course :plug:

Wow, now that sounds perfect as the doors were indeed taken off to get in the doorway of the new house. Only problem i have is how do i take off the front plinth/grill i tried to get it off earlier but couldn’t see how it came off.

Many thanks
