White Goods Problem....
Discussion
Woke up this morning to a flooded kitchen. The water filter housing of our (not very old) American Maytag Zig-Zag door fridge/freezer (Model ZG2626GEBK) has decided to pi** out water, obviously the shut-off valve no longer works. We bought the fridge in new the UK and had it shipped to France with our household goods in 2007 and have found out that there is no service centre for Maytag in France now (there was in 2007 though). I can't find out if it's just the water filter head unit that needs replacing or whether there is a shut-off valve elsewhere. I can get the water filter head unit from an independent parts supplier in the UK but if it's the part that resides in the bottom of the fridge (where one of the two water pipes goes) that's only available in the US it would appear. Maytag in the US just refer me to the UK and Maytag in the UK only suggest calling a service engineer - not really possible as the fridge is in France, also the above parts are not listed on the UK parts list for this fridge so I assume not available from Maytag themselves!!
Upshot of all this is I need to get a competent white goods service person to fit part(s) if I can get them as it's not obvious how to remove and replace, anybody know of one within reasonable travelling distance of the Haute-Vienne?
