Water is not
dispensing.
Refrigerator or freezer doors
are not closed properly.
Water will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors
are left open.

removed or replaced.
After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons of

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

arrange it to prevent future kinks.
The house water supply is not
connected, the valve is not
turned on fully, or the valve is
clogged.
Connect the refrigerator to the water supply and turn the
