Owner’s Manual 2
Water Dispenser
The water dispenser is assembled to the refrigerators at the
factory as optional equipment. If the refrigerator does not have
a factory installed water dispenser, one cannot be added to the
refrigerator at a later time.
The water dispenser has a water reservoir that is built into the
rear of the refrigerator fresh food compartment. As water is
dispensed, the reservoir automatically refills with water. The
reservoir allows the supply water to cool to the same tempera-
ture as the inside of the refrigerator fresh food compartment.
Most vehicle manufacturers have a water filter installed in the
plumbing system to remove odor, taste, chlorine, and sediment
from the water. If the vehicle does not already have a water filter
installed, Norcold recommends that you install one before
operating the water dispenser. Contact your dealer.
The water dispenser operates only on demand and will operate
in ambient temperatures as low as 0° F. To allow operation at
temperatures between 0° F and 32° F., the water dispenser has
a heater on the solenoid water valves and on the water line
between the solenoid valves and the water dispenser.
