In case that water dispenser in your Bosch b36ct80sns isn't working, you must read our article. We have prepared for you the most common solution, and a simple guide on how to fix that problem.
The problem is probably the water inlet valve. Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve opens to supply water to the dispenser. If the water inlet valve is defective, or if the water pressure is too low, the water valve will not open. The valve requires at least 20psi to function properly. Make sure that the water pressure to the valve is at least 20 psi. If the water pressure is sufficient, use a multimeter to test the water inlet valve for continuity. If the water inlet valve does not have continuity, replace it.
How to replace?
- Pull the refrigerator forward so that you can get behind it with ease to change the part. Before messing with the back, be sure to unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water supply.
- Remove the cardboard cover on the back of the fridge. Locate the screws in the upper right hand corner of the refrigerator and use a nut-driver to remove them.
- Remove the backing. You should now be able to locate the water valve. Using your quarter-inch screwdriver, you will want to remove the machine screws that are holding the water valve to the cabinet. Once these screws have been removed, you should be able to pull the valve outside of the cavity, allowing access.
- Clean the tubing when it has been removed. Clean up the rough edges of this tubing by cutting a bit of it off. To cut it, use a block of wood and putty knife on the floor. (Try to trim it and avoid cutting too much off.) Set this tubing aside.
- Reinsert the tubing that you polished up earlier. Lightly push it in to make sure that the new tubing snaps into place. When inserting the tubing, just make sure that it's firmly in place and doesn't move around when you poke at it, and that it is snug.
- Reinstall the terminals. Each pin will be a different size, so it will be impossible to mix up the connections.
- Reinstall the mounting screws and tuck the water tubing out of the way. Turn on your water supply to make sure there are no leaks. If there are no leaks, you can safely put the back cover back on using those screws you set aside in the plastic container.
- Plug in the refrigerator. Push into place and your water inlet valve should be working like new.
