Tappan Refrigerator coffee maker not working
If your refrigerator coffee maker is not working, start with the basics: most often the problem is a lack of water reaching the brewer. Check that the water supply to the fridge is turned on and that you have cold water at the dispenser; slow flow usually means the water filter is clogged, so replace the filter if it’s been more than six months. Next, remove the brewing module and rinse it well—clogged upper or lower pins in the brewer are a common cause and you can clear them with a straightened paper clip. Less commonly the brewer is simply seated wrong: make sure the brewing module is installed on the rails with the name plate facing you and that it’s removed and reinstalled between cups if required by your model. If you need replacement parts like a water supply tube, filter, or brewer components, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact part that fits your refrigerator and get step-by-step repair help.
01 - Tappan 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 - Tappan 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.
