Pure water dispensor leaks around the edge.

I have a samsung model: RF266AASH. It leaks water around the dispensor as you try to fill a glass of water.

    The problem is : if you are right, how can i get into it to repair it? It looks to be a sealed unit.

    The first problem with removing it is that it's located inside the refrigerator along the left wall.Not the door. thus very difficult to remove the plate without seeing what i'm trying to pry loose . need a diagram .

Hi, this is a seal leak. its located behind the water release point. it could also be cracked, the assembly that is, but im sure its just a seal issue.

    this is a click on type of design. you can use a flat head screw drive to pry it away. there are release clips that are holding it in place. its the shut off valve seal that you will want to replace. be careful when prying off the face. its quite fragile.

    check the inside door panel for screws behind the weather stripping.

    yes, i searched for the manual/diagram and, i was told that it is not available at this time. im not sure why its not. the only way to get that manual/diagram is to contact the manufacture.

    I would go to the Samsung main website. you will need the model number and serial/ bar code num as well. it will be under the support tab. it should be in pdf form.

Ge older model dishwasher, filled with water , but wont run its cycle, I have motor and cycle noise

If you have what looks like a white disk in the center, you need to clean around the outside edge of the disk and put a thin layer of good high temp sillicone around it and wait a full day before using it.If the outside edge of the disk leaks the washer will fill and run but will not drain.

How do I take the cover off the internal water dispenser for the one touch Pure water system in my Samsung refrigerator?

Hello;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

It would be easier if I had a model number. The model number is on a label on the inside wall of your fresh food section.

The dispenser frame is held on with plastic clips behind the frame. These clips are easily broken.

On some frames there are 2 slot on the bottom of the frame where you insert a flat head screw driver and gently pop the bottom off. You must push in in the sides to release the frame from the retaining clips.

On other frames you must push in on the sides and flex the frame to release from the retaining clips.

Fridge leaks water on floor constantly

does it have an ice maker and or water dispensor? if so start by turning off the water supply, see if the leaking stops. if it stoped you may have a broken water line or the water level valve is leaking. if that isn't the issue check your seal around the door to make sure it isn't leaking in warm air. if that is ok you will need to look at the self defroster to make sure it isnt defrosting all of the time.

Leaking water

IF YOU CHANGED THE FILTER AND GOT WATER OUT THE DISPENSOR AND HAD A RUSH OF AIR COME OUT OF THE LINE. YOU MAY HAVE GOT WATER UNDER THE DRIP TRAY. WATER WILL THEN COME AROUND AND APPEAR THAT THE DISPENSOR IS LEAKING. OR YOU MAY HAVE NOT PURGED ALL OF THE AIR. LET ME KNOW.

Ice maker not filling up with water, but it dispenses water.

Check for a blocked frozen fill tube at the ice maker. Very common. Make sure you have good water pressure at the water dispensor. If it takes a long time to fill a glass you need to either change your water filter if your fridge has one or make sure your water supply valve located at the other end of the water line is not plugged. If all this checks ok, you may need a new solinoid valve on the refrigerator.

Flap on ice dispensor does not close.

The flap is probably gummed up with sugar from filling glasses with sugary drinks in them. When the ice drops into the glass it splashes the drink into the chute. It needs cleaning.

Just flushing plain water over, under, around and through it will probably free it up (yeah, I kow it's going to be messy).

Water dispensor does not dispense water. Ice maker works.

you have prime the system air out of the water lines this is easy to do
put a glass big enough to cover water dispensor outlet cause its going to project water out at you press and hold button till water starts to run smooth
these fridges will spit water at you when you prime the system at first cause theres air blockage in lines
