Just installed a new Bosch fridge, ice dispenser dispenses ice but water does not dispense?

Anne,

Here's some sites on the water dispenser not working...

And here's where you can get a light..

I doubt that the two are related, but replacing the bulb would confirm it.


Best to you.

To repair a broken wire in the left ice/water door of the Bosch B26FT50SNS fridge, it is possible to disassemble the left door water/ice dispenser. However, it is important to note that this process can be complicated and should only be attempted by someone with experience in appliance repair.

To begin, unplug the fridge from the power source and remove any items from the door shelves. Locate the screws that hold the dispenser cover in place and remove them using a screwdriver. Carefully pry off the cover and set it aside.

Next, locate the wire that needs to be repaired and determine where it is broken. Cut away any damaged sections of wire and strip the ends of the remaining wires. Twist together the ends of the wire that was cut and use electrical tape or wire nuts to secure them together.

Reassemble the dispenser cover by aligning it with the door and pressing it into place. Replace the screws that hold it in place and tighten them securely.

Finally, plug the fridge back in and test the ice/water dispenser to ensure that it is working properly.

In summary, to repair a broken wire in the left ice/water door of a Bosch B26FT50SNS fridge, you can disassemble the left door water/ice dispenser, locate and repair the broken wire, and reassemble the dispenser cover.

Hi Norm,

Most fridges don't need a motor to run in order to dispense water. A simple on / off solenoid on the water line (same for the ice maker) that makes a click when changing from off to on and on to off is usually all anyone hears (the ice maker makes rumbling sounds and you can hear ice falling into the bin - too).

Check for ice. If it has a maker and it is making ice, the problem could be a defective water dispenser switch, solenoid or other circuit component or wire. If no ice, I'd suspect a filter or water supply issue.

Make sure the filter is fully inserted and twisted into place. Many filters have marks to align when 1) inserting and 2) to let you know when it is installed correctly. When sure it is installed correctly - try to dispense water again. Many fridges will dispense water without a filter. Check your manual before trying this though! If not working still, remove the filter and try to dispense water. If you're able to dispense water, the problem is either the installation of the filter or the filter itself. Try to re-install it correctly. Try to dispense water again.

If it still doesn't work - call the plumber back and ask why there's no water. Or - try this yourself:

Locate the point of attachment to the domestic water supply that the plumber used. There should be a valve to turn the water on and off. If off, turn ON. Try to dispense water again.

If that doesn't work - check to see if the fridge has pinched, kinked or crushed the water supply line. You may need to move the fridge forward to gain access to the water line and connection point on the fridge. Repair or replace the line as needed and route in such a way that moving the fridge in or out will not cause it to damage the line again.

Good luck!

Water Valve probably needs replacing

Had the same problem. If there is ice in the bin make sure the ice bin is in all the way. there is a
drive gear in the back that has to be engaged. If the
bin is emty open the little door where you can see
if there is ice, on the left you will see the square
end of the ice maker unit. Slip your fingers under
the front face, palm of your hand facing up so you
can feel the bottom of the front of the unit. Over
to the left you will feel a button that you can not
see. Just push it in for a few seconds and the unit
should start. One other thing, make sure the limit
switch is pulled down, thats the plastic on the
wire which shuts the unit off if it is full. Good Luck.

fridge set too cold ? frozen tank or water lines in fridge. set ref warmer for a couple of days

thank u,,,

the fridge is making a noise , sounds like a fan catching and the water will not flow
the firdge is a Samsung RS21DCNS 19.6CF

Are the water inlet / outlet correctly fitted onto the filter ??
Sounds silly - but very easy mistake seen several times.
Is the water supply for the filter turned on . . remove hoses from filter to verify. - YOU WILL GET WET.
