Unless you have another valve somewhere else, that is the only thing that could cause the problem. Have someone try the dispenser while you listen at the back and verify that the valve you replaced is the one the noise comes from when the dispenser is used. If it is, disconnect the line and watch to see if it is dripping. There could be sediment in the supply water that can stop the valve from closing. Low water pressure will also cause it to leak.

From what you have described, it sounds like the tubing to each drain pan is clogged. The hoses are to be used to drain the unit, when necessary. One is for continual draining like onto a floor drain or a sump. The issue you need to solve is the clogged drains.

Using an 18" long plastic Zip Tie or something similar (NO wire coat hangers though) that's appropriately sized to fit the drain tubing. Carefully insert it into the tubing and continue to insert it, until you reach a bend in the tuning. You will need to gingerly work it past this bend, until it bottoms out. Then slowly pull it back out while rotating (twisting) it. As you reach the inserted end of the tubing, be prepared for some water to follow. Do both drain tubes and that should solve the clogging problem.

To assist you further, in case you have misplaced your Owners Manual, I have included a link to it that you can download and print for future reference.

Water dispencer from inside fridge isnt dispencing water. makes noise like it wants to but wont. can my water line be frozen? my fridge is usualy pretty bare and the temp is on 6.

It is very common for the water dispensing tube to become frozen if there is a slow drip coming from the water fill solenoid in the back of the refrigerator.

YOU COULD HAVE A BAD WATER VALVE OR YOUR TANK IS CLOGGED UP AND STOPPING THE WATER FLOW THROUGH THE LINES. MOST MODELS HAVE A TANK IN THE BACK OF THE SHELVES ON THE REFRIGERATOR SIDE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM. IT WILL BE LOCATED BEHIND A PANEL YOU WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE SHELVES AND SCREWS TO GET TO IT BUT FIRST CHECK VALVE SOME SYSTEMS HAVE MULTI VALVES WHERE ON CONTROLS THE ICE MAKER AND THE OTHER ON THE DISPENSER.

Dripping water from outlet in door that fills the washer

djam919,

Your water valve may be leaking. Can you tell if the water dripping is hot or cold?
Some washing machines have one dual valve for hot and cold water, and some will have separate valves. You must remove the top of your unit to find out if your have one or two valves.
To remove the top of the machine you need to remove 3 screws on the back of the unit at the very top, then the top should slide towards the back of the machine ( with a litle push ), now lift the top off the unit.

To determine what valve to replace first you must look on the back of you washer and locate the hot and cold connections, then shut off the one of the water lines coming to your machine at the wall valve, if it continue leaking then you can tell that the opposite valve is the problem. ( wait for about 10 min to make sure that the water leaking isn't just left over water in the hose).

Good Luck

Water driping inside from ice maker

If it overfills and drips, look for an adjustment behind the plastic endcover with a +/- on it. - is less water.

If it continuously drips, replace the water inlet valve on the back where the house water supply comes in.
The water inlet valve on the back of unit opens when the ice maker needs water. If the valve doesn't seal good because of sediment or wear it will continue to drip and when the water reaches the ice maker supply tube it will freeze. You can take the water line off the valve and watch to see if it drips.

Ice maker leaking inside freezer compartment, water dripping down from unit

If it overfills and drips, look for an adjustment behind the plastic endcover with a +/- on it. - is less water.

If it continuously drips, replace the water inlet valve on the back where the house water supply comes in.
The water inlet valve on the back of the unit where the water supply comes in can have a slow leak and will cause ice to buildup and block the fill tube. Disconnect the ice maker line from the valve and watch to see if it has a slow drip. It doesn’t take much to eventually block the fill tube.

Kenmore 795.755744

I have a trio 7755 and had this problem within 6 months of ownership. It was the valves that fill the ice trays not completely closing when tray is filled (continued to drip--building up an ice block on the back wall and in the ice tray. I replaced the set of valves in the lower right (when looking at the back of the fridge). Problem solved, has worked perfectly since.

Dripping water dispencer

Dripping problem is from 2 sources.  Faulty water valve or faulty water connector behind refrigerator.  If the dripping is constant and doesn't seem to end, then it's a faulty water valve.  If the dripping stops after awhile, then the water connector is allowing air into the water line causing the dripping.  Have that connection checked to make sure that it's securely in place.
