Frigidaire Frigidaire FRFN2813AF 28.1 cu ft Standard Depth French Door Refrigerator with Ice Maker MECH-DISPENSER Error Fix: Water Dispenser Dripping or Not Working

The water dispenser leaks/drips constantly or does not dispense water. Check the water filter — replace if older than 6 months. Check the water inlet valve at the rear for proper operation. If the dispenser drips after use, a small amount is normal from the reservoir. Continuous dripping indicates a stuck inlet valve. Test the water inlet valve solenoid for continuity.
