Ice/Water Dispenser Pedal not working consistently
1. Pull off the removable drip tray that covers the two screws. 2. Remove these octagon shaped screws with the appropriate tool. 3. Remove the cover. ( You can cover a screw driver with a thin cloth so as not to scratch the stainless steel and then slide it between the refrigerator and the cover.) 4. Remove the three connectors from the circuit board. 5. Remove two more nuts holding the dispenser yoke paddle. IMPORTANT: Note how the spring is attached to the paddle.TIP: Take pictures as you remove it and a close up of the spring so as not to forget how it is attached. 6. Snap off the paddle and spring. NOTE: There is another spring attached to the ice dispenser cover. Do not disturb this spring. 7. Replace the paddle and spring making sure the spring is placed correctly in the slot. 8. Complete by reversing the steps above.

The water does not shut off completely when dispenser is used. Have to manually return pad to closed position but even then, water continues to come out for 2 seconds or so.
For model number MFI2269VEM10
Hi Kirby,
Thank you for your question. It could possibly be the electrical solenoid that is part of your chute, part number: PS11738676 (Black) or PS11738677 (White). You may also want to check your water inlet valve as well. It could be that part is sending up too much water or not shutting off right away. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
