Magic Chef Refrigerator coffee maker not working

If your refrigerator coffee maker is not working, start with the water supply — that is the most common problem. Check that the water supply valve to the fridge is open and that the dispenser is delivering cold water; if the flow is weak the water filter is likely clogged and should be replaced about every six months. Next, remove and rinse the brewing module and check the upper and lower brew pins; those tiny holes often get gummed up and can be cleared with a paper clip or soft brush. Finally, make sure the brewer is seated correctly on its rails with the name plate facing you — an improperly installed brewer will not engage to brew or dispense. These checks fix most cases where the refrigerator water dispenser not working also affects the coffee maker. If a tube, replacement pin, filter or brewing module is damaged, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement parts and diagrams for your Magic Chef refrigerator so you can get back to brewing.

01 - Magic Chef Refrigerator Water Supply Tube

Make sure you are getting cold water at the dispenser. If not, check that the water supply to the refrigerator is turned on. If the water flow is slow, try replacing the water filter; the water filter should be replaced every 6 months.
