Solution • Connect water supply (see Connecting The Water Supply section). • Unkink the water line. If it is a copper line, it should be replaced because of possible leaks at the kink. A copper line should be coiled behind the unit to avoid kinking. • Open household water line valve. See Problem section Ice Maker Is Not Making Ice. • Ensure that freezer door is closed. (See Problem Section, Opening/Closing of Doors/Drawers) • Replace filter cartridge. • Push filter in until you hear two "clicks". Filter should be flush with the plastic housing. • 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. • 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. • Replace filter cartridge.
