Chosen Solution
I have a Samsung rsg257aars side by side water dispenser will not stop dispensing. I heard that filter not sealing can cause this. I replaced the filter and it work fine for a few days then started again. I also tried a Samsung brand filter ($50 from Lowes) still no luck. I am thinking about replacing the filter housing next but I wanted to check here before shelling out another $70. It does the same thing without a filter. More info. The ice dispenser works fine so that ruled out the microswitch. I even tested the microswitch separately with a meter. works perfect, I look forward to hearing from some more experienced folks out there
I’m not sure how much water you’re getting, this Samsung help page is about an unruly dispenser, sounds like you may have already tried a lot, but here’re their recommendations: Make sure the ice dispenser is sealed properly, and the fridge is level and not the source of dripsPurge air from the line by running the dispenser into a bucketInspect the water line couplers that pass through the door
I had the same problem of water continuously shooting out the dispenser. I pulled out the fridge and turned off the water supply. After reading this post, I installed a new (generic) water filter, opened the shut off valve and…. Wa Lah, it works properly now!!! Thanks…
Be sure to turn the filter on all of the way, there is a small detent at first but you must continue to rotate the filter about a quarter of a turn to fully seat the filter.
I am having the same issue. I have replaced with a Samsung brand filter as well as a generic filter. No luck. The ice maker has always frozen up and Samsung has replaced it twice with no success. Now the water wont stop. Yikes! What should we check next?
Having the same problem. water running continuously from the dispenser….
My water dispenser wouldn’t stop this morning I quickly locked it out on the door panel which stopped the water,I then shut of the water supply,I have replaced the filter but afraid to open the water as it is in another room and don’t have someone to catch the water if it doesn’t work. Plus the light won’t go off. Ok I took the chance and turned on the water,unlocked the panel and it just kept spewing out water..if I lock the control it stops,so I will use that method to source my water until I can get it fixed.,my fridge is almost 2 years old,but fortunately we purchased an extended warranty,hopefully it will get fixed asap.
I have both water and ice shooting out. I reset the filter and the water stopped but the ice keeps going when selected. I don’t understand
