Frequently Asked Questions

A failed water inlet valve is the most common cause — it controls water flow to both the dispenser and ice maker. A frozen water line inside the fridge door can also block flow. Our tech tests the valve, checks the water line, and identifies the issue during the $59 diagnostic, which is free with repair.

When the dispenser works but the ice maker doesn't, the issue is usually the ice maker module itself, the fill tube (which can freeze), or the ice maker's water inlet valve. Our tech diagnoses which component has failed and can typically replace it the same day.

That's a good first step. A clogged water filter is the simplest cause of low dispenser flow. Try replacing the filter first — if flow doesn't improve, the water inlet valve may need replacement. If the filter doesn't fix it, call us and we'll diagnose the actual cause.
