Fill a jug and put it in the fridge.

I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.

That's interesting. I bought a new
Whirlpool fridge last year and it does
the same ... water from the door is not
cold. In my old Kitchen Aid there was a
small tank in the fridge which fed the
water spigot on the freezer door. It
did work, but you had to run a bit of
water to clear some of the warmer water
in the line between the tank and the
spigot. Tomorrow, I have Whirlpool
service coming to fix another problem
where ice builds up and clogs the ice
dispenser. You then have to remove the
ice storage bin, dropping ice all over
the kitchen, and then chisel out a fist
size piece of ice that built up in the
chute. I'll bet they can't fix this.
But I will ask about the warm water.

Regarding the ice dispenser freezup, in my fridge it's due to dispensing
crushed ice. A little piece wedges in the flapper, keeping it from
closing fully. Then room temperature air gets in there, and the ice
thaws and freezes again into a solid mass. Using solid ice only, or
visually checking the flapper for full closure solved the problem.

Thanks. My old Frigidaire had your problem with the ice-maker (and it
was incredibly noisy), but my Whirlpool is great, except for the room
temperature water. I look forward to your post after you speak with your
repairman.

Ok, the authorized service guy was here
today. I asked about the 'warm' water.
I told him that my previous house
Kitchen Aid (made in the WP factory) had
a tank in the fridge section to cool the
water. He said that the tank had a
problem where it would fill from one
spot and empty from another. After
time, deposits from the water (organic
and minerals) would build up in the
bottom of the tank. The new method used
a coil in the fridge where the water
passes with no settling spot. He did
say that it didn't have the capacity of
the older tank. Also, he said that the
fill line passes right by the compressor
and condenser coil, which are hot. All
in all, he said it will never be real
cold. He said you have to draw off a
cup or so to get the coldest water
possible. I guess this all means, as
someone suggested, use a pitcher in the
fridge.
