    thanks yr reply.
    fridge is only 1.5 years old and already
    i have to change parts….

    so if i understand correctly these fridges to not come standard with this cover?

    and the evaporator.. is that on the bottom next to the fan? (sorry, i’m not that technical.)

    how do i get to the water tank? should i put the fridge on it’s side, or take off the back cover?

    Re: water dispensor really stuck ETC (SAMSUNG RS21 dgrs MODE

    I have a sim problem with my samsung side by side.
    (rs56 xdjns, but think this is a specific french reference)

    came back after 2 weeks holiday & no water came out.
    ice was functioning normal.

    checked on the internet & followed advice to heat watertank with dryer.
    the watertank is apparently in the fridge door…?
    anyway, this didn’t solve the problem

    then disconnected the watertube on the front, below the door.
    no water came out, not even when pushing the dispenser.

    disconnected the the watertube at the back of the fridge.
    now, when pushing the dispenser, water came out of the valve.

    so somewhere between the “front & back” watertube something
    was blocking the waterflow. this gave me the idea that the waterreservoir is not in the door, but somewhere under the fridge….?

    anyway, i tried blowing into the tube(s) from both sides. nothing.
    then i (carefully) pushed a electrical wire into the tube, but was unable
    to push it all the way through to the other side.
    (giving me the idea that the reservoir might be blocking it…)
    but this also did nothing.

    however after a few minutes water started to magically come out of the tube in the back. i blew into the tube and air was coming out of the front
    of the fridge, so no more blockage. (ice melted???)

    i connected everything again (making sure there were no leaks!)
    and the water dispenser was working again.

    BUT…. now the dispenser is leaking a tiny little bit.
    we’re talking 1 drop per 5 minutes or so…
    i’ve flushed the system with about 3 liters of water, but doesn’t make a difference

    so 1st of all i have no idea what the original problem was.
    2nd i’d like to know where the water reservoir really is.
    and 3rd, how do i stop the dripping?

    please to hear

    krgds,
    egon
