I have a Kenmore fridge that is about 3 years old. When I moved into
this house, the water dispenser (on the door) dripped so Sears came to
fix it (they replaced a valve where the water comes into the fridge -
and maybe adjusted it to reduce pressure???). I later found out that
my house had too strong of a pressure coming in from the meeter/street
(so I fixed that). Now the fridge water pressure seems very low (it
seems to take forever to fill up a glass of water). Any suggestions?
Is there an adjustment on the back valve? I looked but didn't see
anything too obvious. Please help if you have suggestions. Thanks.

Does your fridge have a built in water filter? If so the filter cartridge
may need to be changed.

Perhaps there is a kink in the line feeding the fridge? Especialy if plastic
line was used. Steven

Don't ever use plastic or polyethylene line. It can spring a leak for
no reason, and spray water for weeks if you don't notice it. Replace
it with copper.

What about those woven plastic tubes? Or the woven stainless steel tubes?
