My Frigidaire PLHS237ZA's Water Dispenser Is Leaking

The dispenser on the front of the left door of your Frigidaire PLHS237ZA provides both water and ice. If your water dispenser is leaking, it could mean a number of things, including a simple user error or incorrect installation. You should also check the water lines in your PLHS237ZA to make sure there are no loose connections or punctures.
  1. What Is Normal

    • Before assuming your Frigidaire PLHS237ZA’s water dispenser is broken, make sure you’re using it correctly. Remember that you must leave your cup under the water dispenser for 15 to 20 seconds after you press the button. It’s also normal for a few drops to leak out between uses.

    Newly Installed Units

    • If your Frigidaire PLHS237ZA is newly installed, it’s possible that there’s air in the water lines, causing leaks and spurts from the water dispenser. To prevent this, you should flush your water dispenser before attempting to use it. Place a large container under the water dispenser and press the dispenser button. Continue until the water flows without any spurts, indicating it’s air-free.

    Water Line Problems

    • Your Frigidaire water dispenser may also be leaking because it has a puncture or bad connection in the water lines. Check that the water lines are securely connected in the back of the PLHS237ZA. Open the refrigerator door and access water dispenser assembly in the door. Check the lines for punctures or tears that might be causing a leak.
