A customer in North Canton called about their Frigidaire refrigerator water dispenser that stopped working after a friend changed the filter. The interior fridge and freezer function fine and the ice dispenser beside the water dispenser functions fine, but nothing would come out of the water dispenser. We found the dispenser was not inserted properly.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Refrigerators
