My daughter was given a kitchenaidaid supra model #ksrs25qdwhoo when she 1st connect water it poured straight thru the dispenser when it was not depressed. She turned water off then back on and it is now just a constant drip and no pressure when depressing. I understand she was to run the water as constantly as possible to release water in the line but now how is she to get the pressure back to do that? And is there a filter on this model?
There is a filter but it sounds like the water valve in the back was stuck in the open position at first and now won't open at all or the micro switch is actuated when you press the water release is bad, but if I were to bet I would go with the water valve being bad, but change the filter anyway, there is no telling how old the one that is in there is.

check your water filter. water preasure is important in the operation of the water valves. if the filter is ok replace the valve. water filter should be changed at least once every year.

A common problem I see is people have the wrong kind of saddle valve on their water line. Make sure you don't have a self-piercing saddle valve. You should have a drill type saddle valve on the cold water line. Reason why, not enough water pressure to the water valve on the fridge. This will let the valve on the fridge hang slightly open which will cause a drip. Check this first. You will find info on this in the installation section of your owners manual.

I would suggest that you get a certified person to come out and look at it you very well could have bent the doors in the move.
but... if you want to do it yourself.

for your drip:
Flush air from the water system the first time it is used and after
replacing the filter. Air trapped in the water line or filter may
slowly travel through the coiled water reservoir to the dispenser,
pushing any water ahead of it. This can cause the dispenser to
drip. Water needs to completely fill the lines for all air to be
cleared.
One
or two drops of water immediately after dispensing is normal. It may be
necessary to hold the container under the dispenser for 2 to 3 seconds
after releasing the dispenser lever.
hi there,
the icemaker is not making ice due to the fact that the valve solenoid may need replacing.
check the water line into the icemaker, to make sure that you don't have a water leak.
the reason the fridge is running is due to the fact that it's trying to remove as much warm air out as possible.
i would have a technician look at it.

Hi. This will usually be the fault of the water inlet valve. The solenoid based valve may have debris building up, thus, causing the valve not to close properly, after usage. Kindly, follow the procedure below to confirm the damage, replace the valve, if needed.
The water inlet valve is located behind your refrigerator. Find the water supply line coming into the valve and turn it off at the source (typically under the sink). Disconnect the supply line. Remove the screws that secure the inlet valve in place.
The water inlet valve is connected by two wires. Label the wire placement on the water inlet valve before disconnecting the wires. The wires are connected to the terminals with slip on connectors
Firmly pull the connectors off of the terminals (do not pull on the wire). You may need to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the connectors. Inspect the connectors and the terminals for corrosion. If the connectors are corroded they should be replaced.
Inspect the filter screen where the supply line connects. Remove any debris or deposits that may have built up using a toothbrush, or warm running water. If you cannot clear the clog, it will be necessary to replace the valve (the filter is not removable on most inlet valves).
Test the water inlet valve for continuity using a multimeter. Set the multimeter to the ohms setting X100 (if available, otherwise use the nearest ohm setting). Place a probe on each terminal. The multimeter should display a reading of 200 to 500 ohms. Close inspection of the inlet valve and especially the coil may reveal the exact ohm resistance rating to test for. If the water inlet valve does not pass this test, it should be replaced.
