Problem
Water flow is
slower than
normal.
Dispenser water is
not cold.
Water appears
cloudy.
Particles in water
and/or ice cubes.
Possible causes
Water pressure is too low.
Saddle valve not open
completely.
Improper saddle valve was
installed.
Copper tubing has kinks.
Water filter (if fitted)
is clogged or needs to
be changed.
Water valve not opened
completely.
Refrigerator has been
recently installed.
Water supply in holding
tank has been depleted.
Air or air bubbles in water.
Carbon dust from water
filter cartridge.
Concentrations of minerals
in water will form particles
when water becomes
frozen and melts.
Troubleshooting
What to do
Water pressure must be between 35 to 100
pounds per square inch to function properly.
A minimum pressure of 35 pounds per square
inch is recommended for refrigerators with
water filters.
Open saddle valve completely.
See 'Connecting the water supply' ,
page 9. Self-piercing and 4.7 mm saddle
valves cause low water pressure and may
clog the line over time. The manufacturer is
not responsible for property damage due to
improper installation or water connection.
Turn off water supply and remove kinks.
If kinks cannot be removed, replace tubing.
Change water filter (see page 29).
Open water valve completely and check
for leaks. The minimum flow at dispenser is
approximately 285 ml in nine seconds with a
new filter in place or approximately 285 ml in
five seconds without a filter.
Allow approximately 12 hours for water in
holding tank to chill.
This is normal when first using the dispenser
and will disappear with use.
Initial water ejected through cartridge
may contain harmless carbon dust flushed
from cartridge. Will disappear after the first
few uses.
Particles are not harmful and naturally occur
in water supplies.
