Potential Cause
• As warmer tap water goes
through the filter and enters
the water supply system, the
chilled water is pushed through
to the dispenser. Once the
chilled water is used up, it will
take several hours to bring the
freshly replaced water to a
cooler temperature.
• Water has not been dispensed
for an extended period of time.
• Unit not properly connected to
cold water line.
• Door was closed too hard,
causing other door to open
slightly.
• Refrigerator is not level. It
rocks on the floor when moved
slightly.
• Refrigerator is touching a wall
or cabinet.
• Check gasket and cabinet
interface for any obstructions.
• Food is touching shelf on top
of drawer.
• Track that drawers slide on is
dirty.
• Refrigerator is in defrost cycle.
• Plug at electrical outlet is
disconnected.
• House fuse blown or tripped
circuit breaker.
• Power outage.
• Your variable speed
compressor is designed to run
100% of the time except during
the defrost cycle. At times it

• Weather is hot and humid.
• Flipper mullion
