My whirlpool suddenly stopped dispensing water.

Possibly the filter is not in all the way or maybe it has a clear sticker/seal over the middle hole. Most filters need pushed in slightly while turning about a 1/4 to 1/2 turn. If it worked before the filter change it has to be in that area.

HI.HAVE U TURNED WATER ON? :) GOOD LUCK

Its sounds like a bad watervalve or quite possibly a stopped up water filter if equipped

This may not be the problem now but by the sound of the malfunctioning water system, it could be in the future. The start device on some models of refridgerator for maytag and whirlpool have been recalled. If your appliance was manufactured in the last 5-10 years you may be having an issue with this component. Mine recently caught on fire at this device that is located near the compressor. If you would like to be a part of the petition for a recall on this appliance contact me at [email protected]

Unfortunately, the housing that the water filter fits into is also the housing for the solenoid controlled water valve, and that is the most likely failure item.

More than likly the solinoid is damaged, turn off the water and power and remove it, once removed you can turn the power back on while you go and find a new one. leave the water off until the new one is installed and turn the power off while you fit the new one. Turn on water, check for leaks, turn on power check for leaks again.

Before you pay for a new solinoid ask the parts guy to test your old part. If this is not the problem is has to be a problem with the electric switch attached to the water dispencer handle.

The solinoid is a double one side controls the ice the other cold water to the door, mark the two wire terminals so you can put them back. ( check you didnt loosen one of the wires when changing the filter - stranger things have happened ) solinoid is located at the end of the water line from the wall, just behind the cardboard at the bottom of the fridge, it should have two water lines and two power terminals attached.

make sure the water line is not kinked behind the refridgerator.

The chute where the ice drops through could be icing up, try removing the I bin and cleaning the ice build up out.

There is a built in system of valves on the filter connections that enable changing filters without turning off the water. IF the filters are not fully connected the valves wont open and there wont be any water flow. .

Have you changed the water filter. It should be located in the front loer grille of the refrigerator.
