Most common repairs needed to fix a Frigidaire refrigerator

Dispenser Replacement

When water is not coming out of the dispenser in your Frigidaire refrigerator, a defective dispenser may be causing the problem. When you press a glass or container against the dispenser lever to get water, a switch behind the lever should activate a relay that will send electrical current to the water valve so water flows through the dispenser tubing and out of the water dispenser. When the dispenser is malfunctioning, have a service technician visit your home and fix the failure.

Water Valve Replacement

When activated by the dispenser, the solenoid coil on the water valve lifts the plunger inside the valve to allow water to flow through the water tubing and out of the dispenser. If the valve solenoid coil is bad or the plunger is stuck in the shut position, water won’t flow through the valve. When water is not coming out of the dispenser in your Frigidaire refrigerator when you press the activation lever with a glass or container, have a service technician visit your home and fix the problem.

Dispenser Water Tubing Replacement

Dispenser water tubing can get clogged or pinched, preventing water flow to the dispenser when you have Frigidaire refrigerator dispenser with water not coming out. A break in the water line will cause water to leak inside the refrigerator and often onto the floor beneath your fridge. When water is not coming out of the dispenser, schedule refrigerator service to have a technician examine the dispenser water tubing and replace any damaged, pinched or cracked water lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why won’t water flow from my Frigidaire refrigerator dispenser?
A clogged water filter, frozen water line, or defective inlet valve can impede flow. Check the filter’s expiration and ensure the freezer isn’t so cold it freezes the dispenser line.
How do I know if the dispenser line is frozen?
If there’s a solid blockage in the tubing or the freezer is set too low, water can freeze in the line. Thaw it by raising freezer temperature or manually warming the line with caution.
Could a bad inlet valve block water even if the line isn’t frozen?
Yes. If the valve coil is burned out, water can’t enter the dispenser line. Replacing a faulty valve typically restores proper flow.
When do I need a technician for a Frigidaire fridge with no water output?
If thawing the line and replacing the filter doesn’t work, the valve or control board might be the culprit. A technician can perform advanced electrical tests to identify the exact cause of the failure.
