Common Issues Affecting Refrigerator Water Dispenser
The daily recommendation for water intake
is 6-8 8-ounce glasses per day. Those lucky enough to have an Electrolux
refrigerator with a water dispenser get fresh, cold, filtered water that taste
great so long as they keep the filter clean and the dispenser in working
condition.
Common Issues Affecting Refrigerator Water
Dispenser
Here are three common problems and a
description of how to check and repair the issues.
Water Filter – A clogged filter can cause
bad tasting water, impure water, and dispenser malfunction. Always check and
change the filter according to manufacturer recommendations. This is one of the
cheapest and easiest fixes so you should always check it first.
Frozen Water in Door Tube – Find an entry
tube and connection point. Remove the hose from a connection point and blow air
through the tube out of the dispenser. If air comes through, frozen water is
not the problem. If air does not pass through, raise freezer temperature to
0-10 degrees Fahrenheit, thaw the hose, and check it again to determine that
the problem is fixed. Keeping the freezer at that temperature setting should
prevent future freezing.
Dispenser Switch Malfunction – Using an
Ohmmeter, test the switch for continuity and replace if there is no continuity
according to test results. The dispense actuator activates the switch and could
be the problem. If your water dispenser is malfunctioning, find your Electrolux refrigerator parts and accessories at Electrolux-store.com.
