Possible Cause Solutions
Water will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors
are left open.
After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons of
water (flush for approximately five minutes) to remove
trapped air and contaminants from the system. Do not
dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously.
Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30
seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved
during installation or cleaning. Resulting in reduced
water flow. Straighten or repair the water supply line and
arrange it to prevent future kinks.
Connect the refrigerator to the water supply and turn the
water shutoff valve fully open. If the problem persists, it
may be necessary to contact a plumber.
Allow 24 hours after installation for the water storage
tank to cool completely.
Depending on your specific model, the water storage
capacity will range from approximately 20 to 30 oz.
If the dispenser has not been used for several hours, the
first glass dispensed may be warm. Discard the first 10
oz.
Make sure that the refrigerator is connected to a cold
water pipe.
WARNING: Connecting the refrigerator to a hot water
line may damage the icemaker.
A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate taste
and odor problems.
Replacing the water filter is recommended:
Approximately every six months.
When the water filter indicator turns on.
When the water dispenser output decreases.
When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
Dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5
minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from
the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount
continuously. Depress and release the dispenser pad for
cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
