My wife and I recently bought a Frigidaire Gallery (Model LGUB2642LF2) & a water line kit for the icemaker/water dispenser. We have a 1/4" copper tube connecting a cold water pipe to our fridge.
Initially installing the line met with some difficulty in that I over-tightened the compression nut and caused a small leak. However, before I noticed the leak I had a chance to test the water dispenser and find that it worked fine.
After discovering the leak, I reattached the copper tubing properly and now have no leaks at all, but my water dispenser no longer produces any water. I can still hear the hum of a motor when I press the dispenser lever, but it's as if no water is getting to it anymore.
I have already checked the cold water pipe and know that it's not blocked, nor is the tubing blocked at all. The hookup from the water pipe to the tubing is a saddle valve and I've ensured that this is turned on as well. (It's of note that when opening the saddle valve, I no longer hear the sound of water flow as I once did.)
Is this an issue with the saddle valve? Could it be a fridge issue? Any help is greatly appreciated!
