🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🏾
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 !
I'm trying it now.I hope it works
Thanks for creating this. This video helped me tremendously,. I was about to call an appliance repair guy. You saved me a $200 repair bill. This solution was so simple.
Glad I could help
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!
Wow..just wow....I can't believe how easily you solved my problem without any unnecessary time to do it. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Much appreciated.
You just saved me a ton of time, frustration, and money. The 20 videos before this one had me convinced I needed an appliance technician or a new fridge. They were also very boring to watch!!! Thank you so much.
Same Here!! What an adventure this has been~
I know my five year old fridge Now !! Really well!
You are awesome! My coffee creamer was frozen this morning. Right when you got to your wife’s suggestion I knew this was the issue. Sure enough removed the water filter & it was frozen solid! Thanks.
Perfect!
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.
This works! My filter had definitely frozen up. I also improvised my own freezer buddy device and shot some hot water up the water spout on the door. Voila! You saved me a big appliance repair bill sir! Thank you! And thank you for listening to your wife!
I Second your comments! Brilliant!! A sleepless night turned into an adventurous learning experience!
Thank you so much! Your video saved me hours of trying other tricks. Took out the filter and left it out for a while and it worked!!
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.
This happened to us and your video was the only one on the internet that helped us! Thank you!!!
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,
Smart! I just bought lots of groceries last week, so I think that’s what is happening with my ‘daire ~ now just waiting
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!!!
glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
I just bought a home. Someone crushed the waterline for the fridge. I repaired the line but no water. No knowledge anything could be wrong with the filter i just replaced. This video helped! My water dispenser works!
that's great. Congratulations on the new home. Thanks for watching
God bless our women. They keep us together…mine is a red head Irish hot head that sometimes drinks too much but has the body of a Southern. pacific Train…SHES 60 now… My friends all love her
Thank you very much for your great suggestion. Your wife's idea worked! I had no idea what to do and this saved me a lot of time, money, and aggravation!
Thank Kay for me. We had the same problem with our water line today and worked on it over an hour before watching your video. Never thought of the water filter but sure enough that was froze up!!thank you Kay!
The shop vac really had me rolling. But I knew you would figure it out, thanks Kay!!
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...
worked like a charm! many thanks!! removed, ran under warm water for a few minutes, replaced, and perfect!!!
Well who knew except Kay...now we all know
Thank you Kay and Tom for sharing.
LOL. It worked! Ours was frozen too. Thank You for Your video, and Your Wife Kaye! We got a good laugh to start our day as well!
I was thinking it could be the filter, but had no clue how to remove it. Thanks a million sir.
It worked!! funny that was my instinct and when I saw this, it gave it a whirl. I dig your shades too, dude! thank you for sharing!
thanks for watching.
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.
Thank you for watching.
I really enjoy your video sir I can ca say that I relate to your not listening to your wife situation thanks buddy for the video
Thank God I'm cheap and lazy. I ran to RUclips for answers before touching my fridge or calling a plumber. Had to replace the filter, it was frozen and busted from the pressure. Wish I noticed and found you before the filter burst but still all good. 👍🏽
Glad I could help
Thank you! It worked! It was the Filter
You solved my problem today!!!! From Chicago.. thank you very much! 👍🏼💪🏼
You da man!! I removed filter and voila! Thank you!
Loved your video! I’m one of those guys who doesn’t listen to my wife when it comes to repairs. LOL!!
😂😂😂
Thanks for this! 30 minutes later we got water running 👍
Best video I've seen in a while, home help from Dale Earnhardt's brother. This just saved me a lot of time and effort. Thank you!
Well I'll be darned. Im about to try Mrs. Kay's suggestion!
Thank you. You and your wife are a good team 🙂!!
Genius!!! Worked like a gem
Thanks for commenting ! Happy holidays.
Is that weed tea in the fridge?!?! Thank you for your video. I’m still working on trying to get mine to work now!
This same thing happened to us when we got home from vacation. I just turned my freezer to the lowest setting for 1 hour. Then it started dispensing water again.
I did the same thing, except that mine had to stay at 1 for 2 days before it started to dispense water again. Thanks for the tip!
Proof that we just need to listen to our wives. God bless a good woman.
amen. Thanks for watching.
I have the same model refrigerator! But if the filter is frozen wouldn't the ice maker stop working too???
I night the line buddy and tried it and it didn’t work. I watched your video and sure enough the water filter is frozen. I’ll come back and try this out and see what it does, I think this will fix it.
Thank you so much. The Mrs.says this is her favorite video on the entire Internet. Stay married, best wishes. Michael & Mary Ann
Thank you very much for the kind words and thanks for watching our videos
It works thank you so much, now I don't need to pay for a repairman to come out .
Please thank Kay! I cleared the filter and it worked!
I am glad! Thanks for watching.
Exactly what happened to ours, appreciate the video!
thanks for watching.
Trying this right now ! Pretty optimistic !
I hope that works for you as it did me, I hate when someone says call the repair man. Lol
Thanks for watching our videos
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! 😂
How did you know how to do this? Did you find a RUclips video?
Man... that is one smart move! Thanks. Tomorrow I will do this before my wife wakes up
Good luck!
Hi Tom, appreciated your effort but tell Kay thank you. Sounds like a story here at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just watch your video that was a great video so happens I'm in the market or possibly this Frigidaire model .. tell your wife she's a genius
I have the same fridge and water isn't coming out but the ice maker is working so it can't be the filter? What would you suggest I try next?
Hi ..this worked for me...Thanks, I now assume my Ice cube line is frozen....how can I fix this?
Well done! I liked that monster drink a lot too!
It worked for me! Thank you.
I said no way the filter was frozen. But I'll be damned if that wasn't it. I don't get it because the settings were never changed since the unit was installed over a year ago. I have the exact same frig. Otherwise it's been fine. You saved me a $200 service call. Thanks!!!
glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
Gonna go try this now! Thank you and thanks, Kay! 😀
Hope you like it!
Good job Kay! Lol
Dude is cool as hell
Thank you so much this is the problem
Going to try this…Thank you!!
Thanks you very much !!!!!!!!! Save me time and money !!!!! Thanks Gracias Todá Danke shkran 😁👍
Where do I send you the $150 you saved me for a dang Appliance Repair Service Call? 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.
Thanks I’m gonna try it tonight
Excellent video! Thank you!!!
😂🤣😅 This was so helpful & hilarious
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.
This guy is hilarious. Good show!
thanks for watching and commenting.
Us ladies are always right, good going Miss Kay! 😂
"Now you just hold on a minute, I'm busy, I'll get with you in just a minute." -- Im dying LOL
Sir!!! You gained a sub!! I
"Wait a minute baby, I'm busy. I'll get back to you in a minute" and "every once in a while your wife will have a good idea" had me and my husband laughing hard. I replayed it a couple of times so we can laugh some more. THANK YOU for the quick fix.
Thanks, Saved me some dough:)
Great! Thanks for watching.
You are so funny 😂, thanks so much 😅😂❤❤
Your idea worked for a day or two before it froze up again. Did it happen to you too?
This worked, thanks!
Thank you
You go Kay.
After defrosting the door I removed a bunch of ice packs I was storing in that door and no more freeze ups!!!
thank you soooo much it work for me too.😁
Thanks
Why did it the filter freeze solid though??
It worked! Thank you
good. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Lesson learned
Was I the only one freaking out with you putting the hair dryer under the water outlet? If that had worked the water would have ran right down into it.
Thank you! It worked
You're welcome!
We are guys, we know how to fix anything! Then when we can’t, we sometimes listen to our wives and see how smart they are. Shhh, don’t tell anybody I said so..haha
I got same issue but even worst, everything in the fresh food top shelf is frozen
But why did it freeze in the first place?
Whirlpool side by side waterline location
I have same frig with same problem and same vacuum
Ummm... the shop vac???😨
I used the hair dryer and I must’ve melted the ice chute dispenser. It’s pushed all the way in. 🤦♂️
I have my sunglasses on too
My dispenser froze, I have a GE Frig. I used my hairdryer and after about 5 min, it started to work.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy holiday.
My water filter is fine. In fact when I pulled it out there was plenty of water. Left it out and screwed the cover back on and then pressed the water door switch and the cover filled with water. So, I guess I will try the other methods.
PS: I do get ice.
I have the same problem as you. I get ice, but no water from the water dispenser. When I pulled out the water filter (even replaced it), water flowed out as well. Did you ever solve your issue? If so, how?
Lesson learned 👍🏼 listen to your wife
Lessonhold listen to Kay thank god there Kay or we would of had a fishing pool and even the kitchen sink and everything i swear if my filter is frozen ima thank Kay too
Lol love it
