Kenmore Refrigerator coffee maker not working
Is your refrigerator coffee maker not working? Start with the water: make sure you have cold water at the dispenser and that the water supply valve to the fridge is fully open. Slow flow or no flow is usually a clogged or overdue water filter, so replace the filter (every six months) and inspect the fridge water supply tube for kinks or leaks. Next, remove the brewing module and rinse it thoroughly; the upper or lower pin can clog with grounds or mineral buildup, and you can clear the pin holes with a paper clip. Finally, confirm the brewer is installed correctly on its rails with the name plate facing you, since a mis-seated brewer will prevent brewing or require removal and reseating between cups. These three causes account for most cases when the fridge water dispenser not working stops the coffee maker from brewing. If a supply tube, filter, pin or brewer component is worn or broken, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part and repair guidance for your refrigerator.
01 - Kenmore Refrigerator Water Supply Tube
Make sure you are getting cold water at the dispenser. If not, check that the water supply to the refrigerator is turned on. If the water flow is slow, try replacing the water filter; the water filter should be replaced every 6 months.

02 - Kenmore Refrigerator Pin
After each use the brewing module should be removed and rinsed with water. If the upper or lower pin gets clogged, you can use a paper clip to clean out the holes.
Highly Likely
03 - Brewer Not Installed Properly
With the brewing module inserted on the rails, the brewer's name plate must be facing the user and must be removed and reinstalled to dispense another cup.
