Problem and Solution Guide

WATER DISPENSER

Refer to the table below to find possible solutions to some problems you may experience

with your refrigerator.

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

Water Slowly

Dispensing

Water filter has been

exhausted.

It is recommended that you replace the water filter:
• Approximately every six months.
• When the water filter indicator turns on.
• When the water dispenser output decreases.
• When the ice cubes are smaller than usual.

Reverse Osmosis filtration

system is used.

Reverse Osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water

pressure below the minimum level and cause ice maker

issues.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a

plumber.

Low house water supply

pressure.

The water pressure must be between 30 and 120 psi.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a

plumber.

Water supply tubing is

kinked.

The water line tubing can kink when the refrigerator is

moved during installation or cleaning, and cause reduced

water flow.
Straighten or repair the water supply line and arrange it to

prevent future kinks.

Water Not

Dispensing

Refrigerator or freezer doors

are not completely closed.

Water will not dispense if any of the doors are left open or

ajar. Both doors must be completely shut.

The dispenser panel is

locked.

Press and hold the

word

"Lock" for three seconds to

unlock the dispenser.

Water is not selected at the

dispenser.

Press the water icon until it lights. This indicates it has

been selected.

New installation or water line

was recently connected.
Water filter has been recently

replaced

Dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5

minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the

water 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.

Water supply tubing is

kinked.

See solution in

Problem: Water Slowly Dispensing

The water line is not

connected to the house's

water supply
The shutoff valve is not fully
