I was so frustrated when my Samsung refrigerator’s water and ice dispenser stopped working. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to work. Finally, I called Samsung support, and they were able to help me fix the problem. It turned out that the water line had become clogged with ice. I cleared the ice from the line, and the dispenser started working again.
Check the Water Supply
The first thing I did when my Samsung refrigerator’s water and ice dispenser stopped working was to check the water supply. I made sure that the water valve was turned on and that there was no kink in the water line. I also checked the water filter to make sure that it was not clogged;
To check the water supply, I turned off the water valve and disconnected the water line from the refrigerator. I then turned on the water valve and checked to see if water was flowing out of the line. If there is no water flowing out of the line, the problem may be with your home’s water supply. You can check this by turning on a faucet in your sink. If water is not flowing out of the faucet, the problem is with your home’s water supply and you will need to call a plumber.
If water is flowing out of the faucet, the problem may be with the water line. Inspect the water line for any kinks or damage. If you find any kinks or damage, you will need to replace the water line.
Once you have checked the water supply and the water line, you can reconnect the water line to the refrigerator and turn on the water valve. If the water dispenser is still not working, you may need to clean the ice maker.
Inspect the Water Line
If you have checked the water supply and the water dispenser is still not working, the next step is to inspect the water line. The water line is the tube that connects the refrigerator to the water supply. It is possible that the water line has become kinked or damaged, which can restrict the flow of water to the refrigerator.
To inspect the water line, you will need to disconnect it from the refrigerator. Once you have disconnected the water line, you can check it for any kinks or damage. If you find any kinks or damage, you will need to replace the water line.
To replace the water line, you will need to purchase a new water line that is the same size and length as the old water line. Once you have purchased a new water line, you can connect it to the refrigerator and turn on the water valve. If the water dispenser is still not working, you may need to clean the ice maker.
