Thank you for making this video. There's not that much information online about how to change the internal light bulb. When I was a copywriter I wrote scripts for lots of educational and instructional videos so I appreciate what a good job you did on this one. I especially appreciate that you paid attention to the order of the steps in the process. It sounds like a simple thing, but too many how-to videos start the process, get a few steps in, and then say, "Oh, by the way, you have to do this first." I hate that! For example, the part about wearing a glove to handle the bulbs is critical and you put that step right up front before starting the process. Thanks!
Nice and thorough experiment, thanks for sharing! I don’t think checking the price of replacing the filter is a good idea though. We should all be making an effort to produce less waste even if it costs us time/money/effort. Love and respect!
Thank you so much, my problem solved. I have been confused hitting all the buttons, not getting enough cool air in summer I was about to report to the Apartment maintenance though something was wrong on the thermostat. So excited to fix it myself with your help. Thank you again, may God bless you!
I have an Ikea fridge (made by Whirlpool) with the dispenser inside the fridge on the left side. The freezer is a drawer at the bottom. So far the only water lines I can find are on the back of the fridge. The inlet is at the bottom right corner, and there are lines going from there to the filter (and back), the dispenser, and the ice maker. The one from the filter to the dispenser felt cold to the touch, the rest are room temp. I'm not sure if I need to remove the panel at the bottom to get to where I can detach lines, but I'll try the tool when it comes tomorrow and see if I can get enough warm water in there to melt the ice without disconnecting any lines first.
It was exactly what was wrong with mine but I did a little bit different. I used a heat gun on the tip, where it dispenses out of the refrigerator on and off without melting it, and it heated up enough to melt the ice through the line ,then I used weedeater string to put through it to see if it was clear and the water works. Perfect thanks for Sharing . make sure your freezer is not on the highest setting that will also cause The waterline to freeze.
Thank you for the video Just ordered my Water Line Buddy, coming tomorrow The water dispenser is a vital part of my family water intake, so need to get this working again I have raised the temp from 34 to 38 to see if it would help, it is better but not 100% Looks like they need to insulate the water line to prevent it from freezing
I fixed this for free by simply putting all my frozen food into a cooler, turning the freezer control to the off position, keeping the freezer door open, and allow the door to warm to room temperature, thus thawing the water line. No need to call for a repair, and no need to buy a syringe!
Get some caustic soda in a bucket. Leave it overnight. If its made from aluminium the grease will disappear with the filter. If its stainless steel it will come out sparkling.
i was just going to make my guests either shower in another room or shower in the dark HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA ... Thank you. I'm sure my friends thank you as well.
Thanks, great vid! FYI: I fixed my frozen water line after watching your vid in just minutes using a plastic syringe I already owned, microwaved water to boiling, put on some oven mits to protect my hands/arms and just filled the syringe with boiling water and shot it into the dispenser opening and that worked great and was almost immediate!
Important to learn why it's freezing though. In my case someone had accidentally bumped to temp control slider in the back of the fridge so the freezer was set to the coldest possible setting. Moving that slider back to normal setting fixed the problem.
Appreciate you for this video. What I did was I took a 10cc syringe attached a cannula from an IV catheter and flushed it with a hot water couple of times and it worked! I work in the medical field by the way that is why I have that stuff with me.
Thank you so much! This was very helpful! Like the comments suggested, I simply opened the door for five minutes. Then I used a syringe that comes with any medicine, put boiling water in it, and squeezed it up. It fixed it within a few minutes! No extra purchase needed. Without the insight of the video, I wouldn’t have understood what was causing the problem and known how to fix it.
Very well made video and was very useful for me. I couldn’t do the pump test initially because I couldn’t detach the pipes like shown in the video. So I turned off the power to the refrigerator for 30 minutes and water dispenser started working again😊. 👍
