SOLUTIONS
Connect the refrigerator to the water supply and turn the water
shut-off valve fully open.
A kink in the water line can reduce water flow from the
water dispenser and result in hollow or irregular shaped
ice. Straighten the water source line.
Flush and fill the water system. See "Water Dispenser."
The water pressure to the house determines the flow
from the dispenser. See "Water Supply Requirements."
A reverse osmosis water filtration system can decrease
water pressure. See "Water Supply Requirements."
Remove filter and operate dispenser. If water flow increases, the
water filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter
or reinstall it correctly.
Close the door firmly. If it does not close completely,
see "The doors will not close completely."
Make sure the water dispenser wire/tube assembly has
been properly reconnected at the top of the refrigerator
door. See "Remove and Replace Refrigerator Doors and Drawer
Front."
Hold the glass under the dispenser 2 to 3 seconds
after releasing the dispenser lever.
Flushing the water system removes the air from the lines which
causes the water dispenser to drip. Flush the water system.
