Napoleon,

Have a Bosch fridge with an in-door water dispenser. The water dispenser crapped out about a month ago, thing is less than a year old. Ice maker still works though and I changed filter. Any advice? Or do you work on these?

I'll gmail you, but first thing to check is for ice in the waterline. You should have a resevoir of some type in the bottom of your fresh food section. See if the water in this is frozen up. A hair dryer or a steam gun can be used to thaw it out, I'm assuming the water dispenser is working, as the ice maker is working, but it's plausible that the water solenoid is out (there are 2-3 solenoids on the system and it uses your water pressure to move the water through the fridge, they can half fail) To ensure the solenoid is working try and get water from the door and listen, you should hear a faint metallic noise as the electromagnet gets power. If you do, then your solenoid is fine.


If there is no ice in the reservoir and the solenoid is working there could be ice in the water dispenser itself. To clear that I use a syringe and a few feet of 1/8" clear tubing attached to it and run warm salty water back through the tube until nothing restricts my hose.
(then of course run the water through the door for 30secs to remove any salty water)

Though, on Bosch, commonly it's your reservoir that is frozen and that could mean your fresh food side is not defrosting properly or is too cold.
