I have a whirlpool imperial series refrigerator, that wont dispense water. I have changed the filter, but I really think its either the solenoid valve or the contact for the dispenser handle. How can I make aan exact determination? As I am having trouble getting to the contactor behind the freezer door.

If the fault is in the contactor, then u will not hear a click from the solenoid. if u hear the click and no water it might be the solenoid. solenoids fail very often, they corrode or clock inside.
if u press the handle and do not hear a click and no water then u have to check the electrical circuit for continuity at the solenoid.
my guess: the solenoid

SOURCE: Ice Dispenser Doesn't work...

sounds like the water coming into the icemaker is spilling over or leaking into the ice despenser bucket.... check for ice build up or plugging of water chut into ice maker

SOURCE: no water on dispenser Model#ED5CHQXKQ01

most likely you have a frozen water line to the dispenser. it could be inside the back of the refr section that is just too cold or inside the freezer door.
either one can be tested by allowing each to warm up for 15 to 20 minutes and see if you get water thru door.
do you hear a buzz from the water valve coil when you push the dispenser lever? if so then the water line is probably frozen somewhere.

SOURCE: ed25rfxfw01 whirlpool fridge water dispenser ...I have a slow drip from the dispenser hose. I assume I need a new water inlet valve. How do I access the inlet valve for replacing?

It should be on the right hand side in the back take off the compressor cover on the back should be 8 or so 1/4 screws nutdriver type and then two more hold on the water valve. If you have a RO system hooked up to refrig you may need to change the filters on the ro or just change the filter on the refrig. those two will also cause the water to drip thru the valve allowing it to drip on the front

The water dispenser on 2014 Ikea (whirlpool) refrigerator stops working at random times.

I would replace the water inlet solenoid valve, that solenoid valve is what allows water to flow on demand. The valve is likely full of mineral deposits and this causes it stick closed at times.

My ice maker stopped making ice.We have the Whirlpool Imperial Series with the water and ice in the door. The water dispenser is working fine.

The heater has a timer, and a temperature sensor. It senses when the water has turned to ice the temperature has reached certain degree. If the sensor or the timer malfunction then you would end up with the heater coming on too soon and the ice would not have time to freeze.

I have a Whirlpool Imerial Series Side by Side that will not disp

If you can't hear the solenoid on the water inlet valve(it's on the back where the water supply hooks up) when you try the water then the water switch on the dispenser is at fault.

If you do hear it Your water line could be frozen in the door. You can disconnect the line at the bottom before it goes into the door at the bottom hinge. Push the dispenser button and see if it comes out there. If it does, leave the door open till it thaws.

If it doesn't come out there disconnect it at the water inlet valve and see if it comes out there. The valve could be bad.

Water dispenser no longer works.

Where the water supply connects to the Ref there is one water valve but, two solenoids. One for the water and one for the ice maker. An OHM meter will tell you if these solenoids are good.

Solenoids good;
Set the meter to volts and check if power is getting to the water solenoid while pressing the water despensor. No power, bad switch.

Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer

Make sure that the water filter is the right one and that it is pushed all the way in. If that is correct than There should be two solenoids located behind the fridge at the bottom one is for your ice and one for water. Unplug unit and test the water solenoid with an ohm meter across the two terminals if it ohms out or beeps than your solenoid is bad.

Water dripping from water dispenser

You may have something in the solenoid valve seat that is keeping it from closing fully - could have happened at the filter change.
