Possible Solution

Was the water filter recently replaced?

If the water filter was just replaced or installed, ensure the filter was installed correctly. If the water filter is not seated properly, it can cause no or low ice production and water not dispensing properly. Try removing the water filter and re-installing it.

Is there a kink in the water supply line?

A kink in the water source line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line to restore adequate water flow and pressure. To help reduce the chances of a pinched water line, do not push the refrigerator too far back against the wall or cabinet.

Was the water filter flushed?

Once the filter has been replaced, it is important to flush the water system. This process removes excess air, prepares the filter for use, and removes excess carbon. The air in the water system may cause dripping at the dispenser, small/hollow ice cubes, or a cloudy appearance in the water quality.

Use a sturdy container to depress, hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, and then release it for 5 seconds. As air is removed, water may spurt from the dispenser.
Repeat the process until water starts to flow at a steady pass and all the air is out of the water line.
Continue this process (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until at least 1 gallon of water has been dispensed.

After flushing the water system, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool and chill the water. Then, dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
