That makes perfect sense as I live in an apartment building
and the building
turned off the water yesterday,
When they turn it back on there is a lot of gunk in it.

I'm going to try to run a lot of water through it, maybe it
will wash out.

If I have to replace it where is it most likely located?

Thanks this was really helpful in at least understanding
what happened.




I did find it. The bigger problem now is getting to it.
It requires moving out the refrig and I live in a small apartment where
things are so tight they had to put the floor molding on after the refrig
was installed. So pulling it out is going to be a real headache.

I'm really hoping that just letting it run with hose attached to it and
draining into the sink will flush it out.


Any way you can set up an IV drip of vinegar into the input side? I gave
up on my dispenser- my water is so mineral-laden it clogs up in a month,
and those damn filters are expensive around here. (Not to mention, idiot
furnace guy blocked the filter in basement ceiling with a new duct
run...) Anyway, I turned off icemaker (almost never use ice anyway), and
have just let the thing sit. I may get around to fussing with it
someday. I suppose after I clean it out, I could feed it from other side
of water softener to get around the mineral problem, but ice and water
would taste nasty then.

If this fancy fridge (that came with the house) dies, it is getting
replaced with a big-box entry level special. Not a fan of side-by-sides
anyway. I'd rather have a freezer that a frozen pizza fits in without
bending.
