Kenmore refrigerator, continuous water dispenser flow
I have received second-hand a relatively new Kenmore fridge, model "22",
side-by-side with auto-ice maker and water dispenser on the freezer door. Unknown model year, I'd say maybe 5-6 years old. Previous owner says he had no problems with it at all. At first my problem was the icemaker overflowing. I turned off the water behind the fridge until I could look at it. I figured either the tray had water in it already, or the timer was askew. So I removed the icemaker housing and cleaned it out, re-inserted it, and plugged it all back in. I also ran the water dispenser, to find a new surprise. The water flow doesn't stop, it just keeps coming out. The motor does quit running when I stop pressing the dispenser so the water flows out as if by gravity. It actually stops for a split-second and then comes out again. I let it run a long time to see if a reservoir was built up somewhere, but it keeps coming out until I turn off the water supply valve. The water comes from the wall, goes through a brand new filter and then into the fridge. What's strange is it wasn't doing this before. Could something have been damaged in the move? If so what should I check first? I have no reason to not believe the previous owner's claim of good operation. I can't really fix the icemaker while the front door is spewing water so I have to tackle this one first. Thank you, Greg - Seattle, WA. |
