Water dispense not working properly. When activated, water comes out at trickle rate. Checked supply and pressure is getting to the unit. Any suggestions?

Check Filter, Sounds like a clogged filter.

I have the same problem and txrott suggested it might be the water valve needing replacement.

txrott is right, those symptoms can be caused by a filter needing replaced, the line may have partially frozen over or the valve needing replaced. of course the cheapest to check first is to make sure the line hasnt partially frozen over, then filter replacement should be 2nd and if neither of those has fixed the problem you should then replace the water valve.

How difficult is it to replace the water valve? I'm assuming its located just behind the filter.

Replacing the water valve is fairly simple, most times its in the back of frig. just follow the waterline down to it.
