Very little water pressure, water seems to just drip out of the water despencer when filling a glass and ice maker will not fill!!! I have drilled out the water valve, replaced the hose with a 3/8 dia. hose, the filter is new. Oh yeah, it's a FRS25H5AS. This has been an ongoing problem for some time.
The solenoid valves, located in the lower back of the refrigerator, where the water line enter the unit has a filter mesh at the inlet. Mineral formation or debris from the tube lines block the water pass and present the symptoms you describe. Also, when units do not have this filter mesh, the mineral deposit and debris obstruct the water valve mechanism and the water flow. If you have good pressure at the valve entrance, but not at the output, replace the solenoid valves.
SOURCE: Water dispensor does not dispense water. Ice maker works.
you have prime the system air out of the water lines this is easy to do
put a glass big enough to cover water dispensor outlet cause its going to project water out at you press and hold button till water starts to run smooth
these fridges will spit water at you when you prime the system at first cause theres air blockage in lines
SOURCE: frigidaire water leaks
I suspect that when the water valve was replaced, that the plug's were reversed that provide the power to the valve. Exchange the two plugs on the water valve and you may find the problem is fixed.
SOURCE: Ice maker freezes up and drips water
I am assuming you have the ice maker that the tray twists to release the ice. There is a new tray out with a wall to prevent the water spilling over. The part number is
3390JA1150A
Sgt 48
SOURCE: Water to ice maker isn't filling tray.
what is the inside temperature in the freezer? it has to be below 17 degrees before the ice maker even try's to work
SOURCE: Water keeps dripping after it dispenses water thru the door
When you push the button, the CLICK you hear when the water flows is the Water delivery solenoid opening to let water thru, then snapping shut when U R done. The Spring is weak (prob wrong type, size, strength at factory) or the valve seal is cracked, torn, hardened or crushed.
Since all this is inside the door, you will either have to take it apart to see/fix/replace.
Quick fix: turn down the water pressure coming in(?)
Call Mr. Handyman to fix.
If under warranty - they might fix this for you for free
If this is a factory defect, there might be a recall in place for repair/replacement parts
Googlee both - Make/Model + Dripping Valve + Recall
Good Luck!
