How to fix a water dispenser if it is leaking? A small amount of water may come out of the dispenser after use. It is normal and doesn’t require a repair. If the water leakage is very strong and continuous, the following recommendations may help to solve the problem. When connecting for the first time and after each replacement of the water purification filter, it is necessary to remove air from the dispenser as described below. With a large empty container under the dispenser, press and release the lever at 5-second intervals. Repeat pressing until water starts to flow. When water starts to flow out, continue pushing and releasing the lever until you have drained a total of 15 liters of water. By completing these steps, you will remove air from the filter and from the water supply system to provide clean, fresh water for drinking. Air can accumulate in water purification filters that are installed on refrigerators with a connection to a water source. Try to return the filter to its original position and check if the leak has been fixed. Installation instructions are given in the user manual. If you have lost the manual, you can download it here with your model number. If the problem remains, there may be a technical problem with the refrigerator. If you suspect this is the case, contact a refrigerator repair service center. It may be necessary to check the compressor for defectivity. You may have to replace the compressor if all else is in good working condition. The compressor itself may be defective. So while it appears to be operating well, it is not working. And the continuous running makes it hot. With a multimeter, run a continuity test between the pins on the compressor’s side. That is where the start relay attaches. If you find a circuit that is open, you may have to replace the compressor. By law, only a licensed technician should perform this task. Your Kenmore Elite Refrigerator should last you a long time. And every part that makes it all work must be in good working order.
Sometimes, it won’t hurt to check on the fridge once in a while to see if the temperatures are just right. The sooner you catch a problem with your refrigerator (i.e — not cooling), the better. Always get professional help if you are not sure about how to replace damaged or faulty parts of your refrigerator. This is especially true if your unit has an active warranty.
