Default Water Dispenser slow to shut off
Brand: Maytag
Model Number: MSD2756AEB
Age: 5 - 10 years

Water dispenser is slow to shut off after taking glass away from actuator. Was only a second or two at first but now taking longer and longer. Water presssure was never great on this dispenser and another post suggested that water pressure closes valve actuator. Could low pressure be the culprit and where do I start to fix?

Hello LudG

Your problem is the ACTUATOR PAD,Part# 61003804 Black $10-$15
The Pad activates the micro switch that opens the water valve

PS Aways disconnect power before service!!!!!!!!
