    check your ice maker first. If it's making ice it's NOT the filter, but a frozen line... saves even more time to pinpoint the problem. loved the video.

      Ditto. And I disconnected the fridge line from the freezer, in the bottom panel (with a pan under it). Then, when I push on the water button, water comes out fine fromthe right tube, so no freeze there. I'm still struggling with the frozen left tube, but don't want to drop any money on the Amazon gadget.

    THANK YOU! We just moved into a new rental and when I pulled the filter out I thought it was supposed to be solid like it was, your video was spot on. I let it unthaw and WE HAVE WATER! This was never suggested to be a problem in any other videos or guides online. Thank you so much !

    You are my hero! After watching all of your video, and coming to the part about the water filter I checked mine and sure enough it had frozen. Probably because I had earlier done a thorough cleaning of my frig side and had the door open for too long. I used a by pass valve and sure enough the water came out of the dispenser just fine. I put my filter in the sink to thaw out and will reinstall later. Saved me an expensive tech visit!

    The use of the weed wacker string is clever. Just used it now to confirm that indeed there is a frozen pipe issue about 3-4 ft into the fridge door. Now have the syringe thingy on order with Amazon. Thanks for the insight and for your time to produce this video. Hair dryer is not going to cut it for the distance for our ice build up.

    It worked for my LG to door refrigerator when I took out the water filter. It was frozen at the tip and seem frozen inside to.
    I did use a hair dryer medium heat on my water filter was really cold and also a little bit on the inside of the refrigerator where the filter goes Once I put it back in the water started coming out a little by little and then back to normal. Thanks for your video.

    Thanks for the video, while watching I thought about the two-liter coke and orange juice that I noticed had Ice in them last week on the top shelf next to the filter. I already had a new filter, so I swapped it out and the water was restored to the door. I think my problem was caused when my wife decided to completely fill the fridge with water and Gatorade restricting the airflow.
    Thanks again for the video, changing the filter would have been my first option but hearing your story made me stop researching and move forward with the replacement filter instantly,

    Aside from the obvious chuckle I got out of your video (yes, listen to your wife), you also just saved me a ton of time. I have the same fridge and just discovered the same problem about 30 minutes ago. I started looking on RUclips for an answer. Lots of complicated things about checking electrical switches and components. Also saw stuff on a frozen water line. Wasn't sure where to start. I then watched your video. I just now took the water filter out with high hopes. I moved it around over the sink though and it was NOT frozen. Water was dripping out and I could hear it sloshing around. I'm thinking, "crap!" I reinstalled it and checked the water dispenser again for sh#ts and giggles. Some resistance but I felt a small piece of ice or two come out......then water! I grabbed a cup and did it again, and sure as sh#t it was dispensing water again at full speed. Thank you!!!

  • @matthewdean1465
    @matthewdean1465 2 года назад +2

    First thing I did was disengage the water connection below the freezer door, then engaged the water. Water shot out from the hose into a towel. That Tells you that the problem is beyond the Filter. In this case the freezer door is where the line runs and is probably frozen. I like the weed eater string idea to see how far up the freeze is on the line. Fridge companies need to do a better job insulating the lines in the side x side units. Thanks for the weed eater line... going to grab my line right now as mine is froze...

    I pulled out the filter and sure enough, the water in it had frozen, used a hair dryer on low, melted the ice in the filter, shook it until all the water came out put it back in and low and behold the water dispenser worked. It was 4:00 a.m. in the morning, when this happened. Thank you so much. I will tell all my friends about your site.

    Great video thank you for sharing. However just to add my experience here so that others don’t have to go through what I did. When my dispenser stopped working I researched online to see what it could be and everyone seemed to say it was the water inlet valve at the rear or a frozen pipe in the door (not likely in the newer fridges) going to the dispenser. After waiting 2 weeks for the inlet valve and after fitting it, it still didn’t work. I tried everything until I removed and emptied the water reservoir behind the salad crisper. When I reattached it I found the reservoir didn’t refill at all. So I checked that good pressure and water was going to the water inlet valve and it was fine. So I removed the clear/white pipe from the inlet valve at the rear that goes to the reservoir/tank and blew in to it but seemed like it was blocked. I then removed it from the reservoir/tank and pulled it out completely and blew into it. Nothing. It’s a 2 foot pipe and the air wouldn’t go through so I waited a few minutes as I thought it was frozen then suddenly it cleared. Voila! There you have it. Reattached everything, the pipe goes back in from inside the fridge easily, and the tank filled up and water and ice is now perfect. Just that 2 foot pipe! 😂

I watched your video, we have a different brand but I got up found my stool and easier my old ass down in front of my refrigerator while my wife was picking out a number to call the repairman. I simply removed the filter, got my wife to hand me a cup and put it under the water dispenser and the water worked. The meter on the door indicates the filter still has 2 bars of use. Damn a $50 filter that doesn’t last. Got to die from something. No more filters for me. If the water looks brown I’ll just boil it. Someone is always trying to get ya money. ✅ thanks for the great video.

    I don't know why there are not more DIY videos that list this as a possible cause. For after soaking the filter in some warm water everything was back to normal. I suspect as someone else mentioned that it was due to having door open for extended period while cleaning it out. At least now I don't have to worry about replacing a valve, low water pressure or ice in the lines which would have me worried about the problem returning.
