The water system needs to be filled the first time it is used. • Is the refrigerator connected to a cold water line with water pressure of at least 30 psi (207 kPa)? The water pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser. • Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. • Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply?

Is the refrigerator connected to a cold water line with water pressure of at least 30 psi (207 kPa)? The
water pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be clogged or incorrectly in-
stalled.
Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? See “Water Sup-
ply Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
Water is leaking from the dispenser
