The water filter dispenser on the inside of the refrigerator has stopped its water flow, a drip or two, but I think the line is frozen. It is a KBLS22EVMS0 model. I recently changed the filter and it worked fine. If I let the temperature rise by keeping the door open, the flow begins to return. Any suggestions? Temp set at 42. jbi

Perhaps insulate the line.
If this developed recently perhaps there is another problem causing this.

When the filter freezes up, the outside casing may have cracked and will leak water when you dispense water through the door.  You will need to have the filter replaced and that should take care of the problem.  But the filter should never have frozen in the 1st place.  You will need to call a qualified LG technician to see what's going on inside the refrigerator.

SOURCE: Water dispenser frozen?

I'll take a stab at helping you.
Most, if not all freezers have a small heater element that keeps the water inlet to that freezer compartment from freezing and if that's defective ( or unplugged ) then any incoming water would freeze before being dispensed or fed into an auto ice maker tray.

The freezer compartment being 'too cold' should not effect water flow if that heater was operational, however it may allow too much cold air to pass into the refridgerator area causing some food to freeze.

It's a good idea to keep the coils clean and dust free as a general rule of thumb but those are used as part of the cooling system to draw heat out of the freezer/fridge area but that doesn't seem to be your problem. Hope my comments help !

Sounds like a defrost problem. Check to see if there is any frost buildup in the back wall of the freezer. If so, it is not defrosting as it should.

  • possible causes:
  1. bad defrost timer
  2. bad defrost heater (in freezer)
  3. bad thermo switch in freezer
If you don’t know what these are then unplug the machine and let the ice melt in the freezer overnight with the door open. Then try it the next day, if is cooling fine then you need to have a service person replace one of the above items.

I have LG refrigerator LSC27950, there is ice in the icemaker& when I press the lever I hear humming noise for water and clicking noise for ice, but no ice or water are dispensing?

The error code dH on your LG refrigerator is indicating a water supply problem. This could be caused by a few different issues:
  1. Clogged or frozen water line: The water line supplying the icemaker and water dispenser may be clogged or frozen. This can prevent water from flowing to the icemaker and dispenser. Check the water line and make sure that it is not clogged or frozen.
  2. Water inlet valve: The water inlet valve that supplies water to the ice maker and dispenser may be faulty or clogged. This can prevent water from flowing to the icemaker and dispenser. You can check the water inlet valve and make sure it is functioning properly or if it is clogged.
  3. Water filter: A clogged water filter can prevent water from flowing to the icemaker and dispenser. If your refrigerator has a water filter, make sure that it is not clogged and has been replaced recently.
  4. Water pressure: If the water pressure is too low, it can prevent water from flowing to the icemaker and dispenser. Make sure that the water pressure in your refrigerator is adequate.
You should first try to check the water line, water inlet valve, water filter, and water pressure. If none of these solutions work, please contact a professional technician or LG customer service to diagnose and fix the problem.

Water dispenser not working. Ice dispenser works

There should be a water filter inside the water lines to the water spout. This filter could be clogged, or the water lines themselves may still be somewhat frozen and not allowing flow to the dispenser itself.
You can also test the power to the dispensor to make sure it is drawing water. Can you hear the pump trying to pump water to dispenser? The water valve should also be opening. You can test power to the valve that draws in water from the external water lines.

Water won't dispense. Left door open for several hours thinking the tubing was frozen, but to no avail. It makes ice!

Sometimes if the water dispenser is eqipped with an in line water filter the filter will get clogged and stop the flow of water. Find water filter and check.

Water dispenser does not dispense water. the ice will dispense But any ideas would be appreciated and i am not the best fix-er-upper but can understand easy and simple steps. Model number of fridge is (GE...

Several possibilities. Clogged water filter (can be eliminated if you dump the ice bucket..if it makes two more batches of ice it's not the filter). Frozen water container (behind lower refrigerator drawers) or bad fill valve behind the refrigerator where the water line goes in. Likeliest is water valve.

Final possibility is a frozen water line inside freezer door. This would NOT be desired nor would you be fixing it yourself. Good Luck.
