Haier Refrigerator dispenser leaking water

If your Haier refrigerator dispenser is leaking water, start by checking the dispenser door and its mechanism — a warped or broken dispenser door that does not seat or open properly is the most likely cause and often the quickest fix. Next check household water pressure by running the kitchen faucet; low pressure can cause valves to drip or flow improperly. If the door and pressure look fine, inspect the dispenser actuator, which activates the switch that sends voltage to the dispenser; a damaged actuator can leave the dispenser partially engaged. Less commonly the water inlet valve can be blocked or have bad solenoids, and it needs at least 20 psi to operate properly and can be tested for continuity with a multimeter. Finally, a defective dispenser switch can fail to stop flow and should be checked and replaced if it does not show continuity.

01 - Haier Refrigerator Dispenser Door

The dispenser door is opened by a motor or a solenoid to dispense the ice, but if the door is broken, it may not open properly in order to release the ice. You should inspect the dispenser door for damage to determine if the component should be replaced. You may have to remove the dispenser control panel or frame to access and inspect the dispenser door.

02 - Low Water Pressure from House Supply

The water inlet valve, which supplies water to the refrigerator water dispenser, requires sufficient water pressure to work properly. If the water pressure is too low, the dispenser will leak. You can check the water flow at the kitchen faucet to help determine if the home's water pressure is sufficient or not.
Common

03 - Haier Refrigerator Dispenser Actuator

The dispenser actuator is the component that activates the switch or switches to send voltage to the dispenser. If the dispenser actuator is damaged, it may be unable to activate the switch. Inspect the dispenser actuator for any damage and replace with a new one if necessary.
Common

04 - Haier Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

A refrigerator water inlet valve will direct water to the dispenser as well as the ice maker fill tube. If the inlet valve is obstructed, the solenoid coils on the valve are defective, or the home's water pressure is too low, the water valve will not work properly. The valve requires at least 20psi to function properly. Make sure that the water pressure to the valve is at least 20 psi. If the water pressure is sufficient, use a multimeter to test the water inlet valve for continuity. If the water inlet valve does not have continuity, replace it.
Less Common

05 - Haier Refrigerator Dispenser Switch

The dispenser switches send voltage to the dispenser. If one of the dispenser switches is defective, the dispenser will not work. To determine if a dispenser switch is defective, use a multimeter to test each switch for continuity. If a dispenser switch does not have continuity, replace it.
