My Frigidaire side-by-side in-door water dispenser is producing warm water. Recently serviced by Sears including cleaning of fins. just started happening the past couple weeks intermittently and now full-time.
All ideas welcome. Everything else has worked fine even though it was purchased in 1998.
Thanks,
As I was cleaning the rear and the coils, I noticed the copper tubing coming from the water source was… HOT. Since the refer was installed years ago by “professionals,” I did not pay attention to the details. It seems that they tapped into the HOT water pipe instead of the cold water pipe.
I got concerned when I went to Lowes and Home Depot to find a new external replacement filter. When I read the instructions on every one of them including on the Frigidaire INTERNAL filter, they all said the same thing: Not to be used with water over 100-degrees F.
Uh oh. :eek:
I don’t think this has anything to do with the hot water coming from the cold water dispenser because for ten years, it worked fine - but boy did it have to work just to get the water cooled down.
So my original question still stands. Meantime, as I said above, I cleaned the coils with the fancy new Frigidaire brush. Not much fuzzy stuff, but they are cleaner now anyway. I hope you all have some ideas.
Thanks again,

My side-by-side Frigidare Gallery was doing the same thing, hot water coming from cold water dispenser.
I removed the back panel and noticed a fan blade laying on the floor. This was the fan the blows air across the coils. I put the blade back on, started the fridge back up and its been working great ever since.
