Hi everyone,
I'm going nuts trying to trouble shoot a slow drip (say one drip per ~3 - 5 min) from my water dispenser on my Kenmore Elite 106.57799700.
Upon doing research, most people seemed to point to the water inlet valve citing a bad solenoid or build up of calcium deposits not allowing it to fully close.
So I purchased an OEM Whirlpool WPW10159839 Water Inlet Valve and installed it today but the drip remains even after flushing the system.
I then tried the following with no success:
1) Removed the water filter (about 2 months old) and flushed with 2 - 3 gallons of water.
2) Replaced the water filter and flushed with 2 - 3 gallons of water.
3) Disassembled the front panel and soaked the dispenser water nozzle in vinegar (it didn't help but needed cleaning anyway).
I posted a short video of the drip here:
Any ideas on what to check next?
Thanks in advance!
