Water Does NOT Dispense -- Whirlpool UltraEase Plus Water Filtrat
Comments (0)I have a Whirlpool Fridge (model: ED22QFXHW00) with an UltraEase Plus Water Filtration System. Fridge is 10+ yrs old. Recently, the water dispenser has been functioning inconsistently. There does not seem to be a rhyme or reason for it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I've replaced the filter, but the problem persists. I've checked the hose from wall to fridge, it seems clear. The ice maker makes ice correctly, so I'm assuming the water is flowing within the fridge correctly. Any thoughts from the forum about why the water would not be flowing / dispensing?...See Morewater pressure for refrigerator water dispenser
Comments (34)Now that you know you have a PRV we KNOW you have a closed plumbing system and the 100psi spikes are the result of thermal expansion. You can refer to the link 14 posts above for a detailed explanation of thermal expansion. The PRV creates a closed plumbing system. Since your internal pressure is 60 psi we can assume that portion of the PRV is working. We can prove that if we know the street side pressure. The N35B does have a built-in bypass feature that limits the internal pressure to 10psi above the supply pressure. I don't trust the built-in bypass because the intent of a closed plumbing system is to prevent back-flow into the main system from homes. Click here for N35B details and read the TROUBLESHOOTING section CAREFULLY. You may be experiencing the dribble now just because the new fridge has a valve that is sensitive to excess pressure. The bypass on the PRV might have just failed and is now causing you a thermal expansion problem. That is why the preferred thermal expansion control device is a thermal expansion tank. Here's what I would do... 1. Measure supply (street side of the PRV) pressure for reference and to know how much the PRV is reducing the pressure for future troubleshooting. 2. If the PRV is not reducing pressure then replace it. 3. Install a thermal expansion tank at the cold inlet for the WH and sized from the link 14 posts above including a 1/4 turn ball valve so the tank is easily serviced in the future. 4. When that is done, if the fridge leak persists then back to GE, BUT, without a receipt from a plumber you may be banging your head against a wall with them unless you get a GE tech that has field experience and is knowledgeable....See MoreWhat soap dispenser and water filter dispenser to get?
Comments (5)It really depends on what you are trying to filter from the water, and whether another faucet is really an issue. If you are looking to remove everything from the water, I would suggest a reverse osmosis system. If it is only chlorine and the taste of the water you are concerned about, then the above water filters will do the job. Here is a link that might be useful: Aquasafe Systems...See MoreFaucet + hot water dispenser + soap dispenser
Comments (9)One thought on your decision is if the Blanco has a colander etc which you place on the right side of the sink, then perhaps reverse the soap dispenser to the left side. But yes, they drilled my holes all in a row, separated by chosen distances. If the hole size for the hot water dispenser and the soap dispenser are the same, you can always change them out. Don't let the plumbers use plumbers putty on installation of the sink flange or drain. Blanco recommends clear silicone for its Silgranit. Counter tops which etch shouldn't have plumbers putty either as it may etch from it I understand. Sorry, no pictures yet. Excited for you: countertops let you know you're half way there....See MoreRNmomof2 zone 5
