TROUBLESHOOTING Concern Potential Cause Common Solution Ice maker is not making any ice. • Ice maker is turned off. • Refrigerator is not connected to water line or water valve is not open. • The water supply line is kinked. • The water filter is not seated properly. • The water filter may be clogged with foreign material. • Turn on ice maker.

Water has an odd taste and/or odor. • Water has not been dispensed for an extended period of time.
www.westinghouse.com Concern Potential Cause Common Solution Water/Moisture/Frost Inside Refrigerator Water collects in bottom of drawer. • Washed vegetables and fruit drain while in the drawer • Dry items before putting them in the drawer.
