Very often, the water line for the refrigerator comes from a saddle valve. This is a valve that is clamped on a water line and makes a small hole in it. Depending on the quality of your water supply, minerals in the water can collect in the hole and reduce the amount getting through. Sometines you can screw the tap back in on the valve and clear the line or with the water shut off, take the saddle valve off, drill a slightly larger hole in the pipe and re install the valve over the hole.

What causes sudden pressure surges in your faucets and refrigerator door water dispenser?

I would purchase a Watt water pressure guage from your local home improvement or hardware store and check your water pressure at your faucet. If water pressure is greater than 40-45psi your regulator needs to be turned down where the water comes into the house.


How do you increase the water pressure or tell if there is a kink in the line of a side-by-side refrigerator that has low water pressure from the water dispenser?

If it was working before then you probably need to replace the filter. New install? Check for obstructions, but I would replace the filter on that one, too. You can try changing the water filter and see if that helps. Some refrigerator filters now come with a fast flow filter that may fit your refrigerator. I know that Whirlpool does have upgrades. If that's not it i would look for your shut off valve to the fridge. It may be partially closed or have a kink in the water line.

Did you just put a new refrigerator into your kitchen with an ice and water dispenser in it?
