Water valve problem w/ refrigerator? Leaking water dispenser and ice maker!?
Frigidaire side by side FRS26RLECSC. For past 2 weeks (right before Christmas, of course) water has been spewing out of dispenser whenever the icemaker is being filled. Also, when getting water out of dispenser, water overflows from the icemaker into the ice cube bin – this then freezes, causing a solid block of ice in the bin. We have placed a cup under the dispenser to catch the spew (ice is still being made), and we shut off the icemaker when we leave the house, so there is no spewing while we’re out.
Have seen a couple of appliance blogs that point to water intake valve as likely culprit.
Anybody with a similar problem or experience in this area? If this is indeed the problem, I’d like to order the part myself, but I don’t want to waste time and money if we’ll just need to bring in a repairman anyway.
Thanks!
Hi, I can think of nothing else that would give you these symptoms than the water valve having a crack between the 2 sides. Each is supposed to be separate. Sounds like you’re on the right track. Good luck.
