If your RCA refrigerator coffee maker is not working, start with the water supply—most of the time the built-in brewer fails because it is not getting cold water. Check that the water line and shutoff valve are open, make sure the supply tube is not kinked, and replace the water filter if flow is slow; this addresses the common fridge water dispenser not working or refrigerator dispenser not dispensing water issues. Next, remove the brewing module and rinse it; the upper or lower brew pin often gets clogged and can be cleaned with a paper clip. Finally, confirm the brewer is installed correctly on its rails with the name plate facing you, since a misaligned or improperly seated brewer will prevent a new cup from dispensing. RepairClinic carries the water supply tube, replacement pins, and brewing module parts you’re likely to need, and you can enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your refrigerator.

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.

After each use the brewing module should be removed and rinsed with water. If the upper or lower pin gets clogged, you can use a paper clip to clean out the holes.
With the brewing module inserted on the rails, the brewer's name plate must be facing the user and must be removed and reinstalled to dispense another cup.
