POSSIBLE CAUSE
The glass was not held

(approx. 4 days).
The water filter needs to
be replaced.
The refrigerator has just

connected to a cold water
pipe.
A large amount of water
was recently dispensed.
Water has not been
recently dispensed.
The water line connections
were not fully tightened.
The refrigerator is
automatically defrosting
more frequently.
The doors or drawers are
not closed completely
allowing warm air to enter.
SOLUTION
Hold the glass under the
dispenser 2 to 3 seconds
after releasing the
dispenser pad.
Flushing the water system
removes the air from the
lines which causes the
water dispenser to drip.
Flush the water system.
See "Flush the Water
System."
Dispense and discard at
least 1 gallon of water.
Replace the water filter
when indicated.
Allow 24 hours after
installation for the water
supply to cool completely.
Make sure the refrigerator
is connected to a cold
water pipe.
Allow 3 hours for the water
supply to cool completely.
The first glass of water
may not be cool. Discard
the first glass of water
dispensed.
See "Connect to Water."
Empty the drip pan. Make
sure the refrigerator is
not overcrowded and that
stored food with a high
liquid content, such as
soups, are tightly sealed.
Make sure all doors
and drawers are closed
completely.
