FIXED LSC27914ST/00 LG refrigerator - no water dispenser

I have a LG LSC27914ST/00 refrigerator.

Yesterday I went to get a cup of water. Water was selected from the control panel. I depressed the lever to dispense the water. Water started flowing for about a 1/4 of cup, after which the water flow slowed down to a trickle and then nothing. When I waited a few hours and depressed the lever to dispense water, I again got about a 1/8 cup of water and then it slowed down to a trickle and then no water at all. I can repeat the process by waiting a few hours or overnight and the same happens -- cup fills partially with water, then slows to a trickle, then no water at all.

I have disconnected the water hose that runs from the wall into the fridge, when I turn the faucet/valve open water flows at a very high rate / high pressure out of the hose. I could not see anything that blocked the water inlet at the main valve...

Any help and info is appreciated!

Thank you -- Cameron

If your water pressure is fine, then it's usually the water inlet valve that's the problem.

Here's the water inlet valve for your model you can order:

His water inlet valve and your water inlet valve are identical on both models.

Let us know how it goes.
