TROUBLESHOOTING
Leaks between head and cartridge
1. Turn off the water supply to the filter and dispense water
from refrigerator door or T-flush valve until water flow stops.
2.
Remove cartridge and inspect o-rings to make sure they are
in place and clean.
3. Install cartridge and turn on water supply. If it still leaks,
contact OMNIFILTER Customer Service at 800.937.6664 M-F
7:30 AM-5 PM CST. Turn off icemaker if filtered water goes
to icemaker.
Leaks from fittings
1. Relieve pressure by turning off water supply to the filter
and dispense water through the refrigerator door or T-flush
valve until water stops. For copper or plastic tubing, loosen
the compression nut and pull the tubing from the brass
fitting. Inspect to see if the ferrule and insert (plastic only)
are properly installed on the tubing. If so, reconnect tubing
finger-tight, then tighten nut snug about 1/2 to 1 turn with a
wrench. Open the water supply valve. If the leaks persist, or
if there are other leaks on the unit, turn off the water supply
1
and icemaker, then call OMNIFILTER Customer Service at
800.937.6664. If the fitting does not leak, turn on
the icemaker.
