SOURCE: water dispenser is flowing super slow

It's likely a blockage in the tubing that brings the water from the house plumbing. Another possibility would be a clogged water filter, if the refrigerator has one.

The first place to start checking for water flow is the valve where the refrigerator supply tube connects to the house water supply. These small valves very easily clog with mineral deposits. If there is no blockage there, it is probably somewhere in the tubing which runs within the refrigerator. I have used plastic weedeater line to open up blockages in these tubes.

SOURCE: The front fill button sticks

Hi,

This problem is because of the moisture dirt at the sides of the button.

In some models it will normal button.For this model you have to remove the whole front case and clean the button rubber pad and
place it properly.

In some models it will sticker button sealed.I wont prefer you to peal the front button to clean it.Because they are made of vacuum close.Once you do it.In future air and water may some times trip in to the circuit board.This will void the whole system.It is better to live with this.If you want.Then use Swiss blade to peal the sticker off and clean it.


post a comment for further assistance.
Thank you for using fixya have a nice day:-)

SOURCE: Flashing red filter & dispenser lock lights

I did not get word that you commented to this clarification. Still need me to assist you? I believe your dispenser controls have a short circuit somewhere. Thanks for the model number I will now go look for what is going on. I also will look over wiring diagram going to the Dispenser Control Board=> 67003623 Control Board

or here=> 67003623 Control Board Look under the freezer hindge cover for a plug that may have a bad connection. If I miss your comments this time e-mail me HERE
Thanks John Tripp/AKA Sea Breeze

Crosley Professional Washer. Why is my washer stopping at beginning of fill cycle?

Question edited for clarity. 'field cycle' to fill cycle.

Do you hear water running? Water inlet valve failed.

or

Taking too long to fill. Check the strainers in the rear where the hose connects and check water flow from the hose.

Also try a power disconnect overnight to do a power reset of the control board.

=============================================
If the cold water supply is slow or not entering the tub at all, the washer will stop ahead of the rinse cycle while waiting for the tub to fill. This can be caused by a clogged water inlet valve, the main water supply valve being partially closed, or low water supply pressure from the home.

How do you reset the water filter

follow this instruction and fix it. God bless you

  • Purge the system once the new filter is installed. Fill a large glass with water from the dispenser and empty the water into a sink. Continue filling and emptying the glass until the water runs without air burps and the water is clear.

  • 2
    Locate the "Lock" and "Light " button on the dispenser. Older Maytag refrigerators have a "Lock" and "Water" button.

  • 3
    Press the "Lock" and "Light button with your fingers and hold them in for four seconds.

  • 4
    Release the buttons when the indicator light begins to blink.

How do I get the bleach dispenser to drain?

Hello Denise C - There are several things that could cause the bleach to not dispense into the washer. Are you sure the liquid in the dispenser after the wash is bleach? If it is pure bleach, the solenoid that lets the water into the dispenser is not working. This solenoid is located on the back of the dispenser. It only gets voltage during the dispense time and fills the bleach dispenser with water. The bleach dispenser fills while the washer is filling for the rinse cycle.



When the washer begins to fill for the rinse cycle, the bleach solenoid is energized and water flows into the bleach dispenser cup. When the cup is full the water siphons out and bleach and water flow into the tub.



If the liquid in the bleach dispenser is pure bleach you may need a technician to diagnose and repair the problem. The voltage will have to be tested to the bleach solenoid and a volt meter is required.



If the liquid in the bleach dispenser is water you probably need to clean the dispenser cup. Scum will build up in the siphon tube and stop the liquid from going into the washer tub. The incoming water will dilute the bleach and overflow the dispenser cup and run into the tub.



Remove the insert from the bleach and fabric softener compartments. Clean the bottom of the insert and the bleach and fabric softener compartments. Reinstall the insert and put the drawer back inside the washer.



To test the siphon action slowly pour water into the bleach compartment. When the water level goes above the maximum line stop pouring. The water should all drain out. You may also test the fabric softener compartment the same way.



I do hope this information proves to be helpful.

Frigidaire washing machine fabric softner will not dispense out

Hello - There are several things that could cause the fabric softener to not dispense into the washer. Are you sure the liquid in the dispenser after the wash is fabric softener? If it is fabric softener, the solenoid that lets the water into the dispenser is not working. This solenoid is located on the back of the dispenser. It only gets voltage during the dispense time and fills the fabric softener dispenser with water. The fabric softener dispenser fills while the washer is filling for the rinse cycle.

When the washer begins to fill for the rinse cycle, the fabric softener solenoid is energized and water flows into the fabric softener dispenser cup. When the cup is full the water siphons out and softener and water flow into the tub.

If the liquid in the fabric softener dispenser is pure softener you may need a technician to diagnose and repair the problem. The voltage will have to be tested to the softener solenoid and a volt meter is required.

If the liquid in the fabric softener dispenser is water you probably need to clean the dispenser cup. **** will build up in the siphon tube and stop the liquid from going into the washer tub. The incoming water will dilute the softener and overflow the dispenser cup and run into the tub. The instructions for cleaning the dispenser should be located on page 43 of the use and care guide that came with the washer.

If you don't have the use and care guide these instructions will help. Open the dispenser until it stops. In the left rear corner of the dispenser, there is a release that is labeled push. Press down on the push area and you can slide the dispenser drawer out.

Remove the insert from the bleach and fabric softener compartments. Clean the bottom of the insert and the bleach and fabric softener compartments. Reinstall the insert and put the drawer back inside the washer.

To test the siphon action slowly pour water into the fabric softener compartment. When the water level goes above the maximum line stop pouring. The water should all drain out.

Hope this information proves to be helpful however if it is ineffective please contact a professional to move forward accurately.

Item: Whirlpool Ultra Dishwasher Age: 3 yrs Problem: Not enough water to effectively wash the dishes. State: When the dishwasher is started, the fill valve opens as normal. Only about 1/2 the amount of...

Larry,
The float is generally for overflow conditions and will interrupt power to the fill valve solenoid.
If you are not filling completely in the time allowed by the timer, it is most likely a flow restriction in the water supply. Barring other obvious restrictions, the fill valve has filter screens on the inlet side of the fill valve, which is generally the cause of your symptoms. Be careful if you attempt to clean the screens, as the fill valves are very sensitive to debris, and can become stuck open if sediment gets past the screen. I usually replace the fill valve to avoid future problems.
Hope this helps.
