Water Dispenser
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Dispenser will not
dispense water.
• Water supply is not connected.
• Household water line valve is not open.
• Ice & water filter cartridge is clogged.
• Connect water supply (see Connecting The Water

• Water has been in the tank for a period of
time.
• Unit not properly connected to cold water line.
• Tubing used in the household water supply and
installation may affect water taste and odor.
• Water has a high mineral content.
• Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the
supply and completely rinse out the tank.
• Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the
kitchen faucet.
• For best results, use copper tubing for water
connections.
• Contact water treatment plant for help in checking water
supply source.
Water pressure is
extremely low.
• Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well
systems only).
• Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative
phase.
• Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure
on the water pump system (well systems only).
• It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below
20 psi during the regenerative phase.
Water/Moisture/Frost Inside Refrigerator
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Moisture collects on
inside of refrigerator
walls.
• Weather is hot and humid.
• Door is slightly open.
• Door is opened too often or too long.
• Open containers.
• The rate of frost buildup and internal sweating increases.
• See Problem section, Opening/Closing of Doors/Drawers.
• Open door less often to allow internal temperature to stabilize.
• Keep containers covered.
Water collects on bottom
side of drawer cover.
• Vegetables contain and give off moisture. • Moisture on the bottom side of the cover is not unusual.
• Move humidity control (select models) to lower setting.
Moisture collects in
bottom of drawer.
• Washed vegetables and fruit drain while in the
drawer.
• Fruits and vegetables are kept past their
prime.
• Dry items before putting them in the drawer. Water
collecting in bottom of drawer is normal.
• Routinely clean out old fruits and vegetables especially
if they begin to break down.
Moisture collects on
outside of refrigerator or
between doors.
• Weather is humid.
• Door is slightly open, causing cold air from
inside refrigerator to meet warm air from
outside.
• This is normal in humid weather. When humidity is
lower, the moisture should disappear.
• See Problem section, Opening/Closing of Doors/
Drawers.
