Whether your water dispenser is leaking, dispensing too slowly or dispensing cloudy water, the solutions will most likely be similar. Follow these troubleshooting steps to get to the bottom of most water dispenser problems.
Check the water filter: A clogged or incorrectly installed water filter will reduce the water flow to the dispenser and slow down dispensing. Check for a problem with the filter by doing the following:
Dispense water and note the amount of water flow.
Remove the filter. The filter is located either in the base grille below the refrigerator compartment door or inside the refrigerator compartment.
Flush the water system: Flushing the system is needed every time the filter is changed or once the refrigerator is installed to the water supply line for the first time. The air in the water system may cause dripping at the dispenser that is considered a leak or for the water to dispense slowly. Get step-by-step instructions on how to flush the water system.
Check the water pressure: Your water pressure should be between 30 and 120 psi. If it’s lower than that, a problem with the water supply connection or a clogged filter could be the culprit. A reverse osmosis system can contribute to low water pressure as well.
