French-Door Ice System Overhaul
The Challenge
Ice Maker Dead, Dispenser Dripping
The customer's four-year-old French-door fridge had stopped making ice and the dispenser dripped constantly. Two frozen food losses in a month made it urgent — but the sealed cooling system was working perfectly, so replacement would have been wasteful.
- Faulty inlet valve starving the ice maker of water.
- Scaled dispenser paddle causing the constant drip.
The Fix
What We Did
- Isolated the water fault
Pressure-tested the supply line and valve — valve coil reading open circuit.
- Replaced valve and filter
Genuine inlet valve plus a fresh water filter, fitted and flushed.
- Serviced the dispenser
Descaled the paddle assembly and recalibrated the fill level.
Result
First ice within 90 minutes, dispenser drip eliminated, and a 90-day warranty on parts and labour — at roughly one-tenth the cost of a replacement fridge.
