TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
My refrigerator is
not dispensing
water
My water dispenser
is dripping
My water is cloudy
or contains black
carbon pieces
My new lter is
making noises or
sputtering
My water tastes bad
SOLUTION
• Make sure that the lter is securely connected
to the receiver. Do not use tools to tighten the
lter in place.
• Make sure that the water line to the refrigerator
is turned on. The valve must be completely
open for the refrigerator to receive water.
• Make sure that the refrigerator door is closed or
the dispenser will not work.
• A few drops are normal. If the water is dripping
constantly, have a service technician check your
refrigerator’s water valve.
• Cloudy water is caused by microscopic air
bubbles. Run two to three gallons of water
from your dispenser to clear the air bubbles
out.
• Black carbon pieces in the water are normal
and appear with all carbon lters. Run two to
three gallons of water through your dispenser
to remove loose carbon pieces.
• Noises and sputtering are caused by trapped
air pockets. Run two to three gallons of water
from your dispenser to push the air out.
• Please reinstall the new lter as instructed and
make sure that the lter is securely connected
to the receiver. Do not use tools to tighten the
lter in place.
• If you do not use your water dispenser for more
than four days, run two gallons of water
through the dispenser before using it.
• Make sure that you replace your lter every
three to six months to prevent bacteria growth.
