Possible Solutions

Is the water filter installed correctly?

If the water filter is incorrectly installed it can reduce the water flow to the ice maker, which will cause small ice cubes or low ice production.

Is there a loose water connection?

Check for water at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, hinge area, or by household connection in the back of the product. A loose water connection could cause the water dispenser to drip occasionally or continuously.

Is the water filter damaged?

Remove the filter and inspect it for cracks or damage.
Be sure the O-rings are still in place.
If the filter is cracked or damaged, replace the filter with a new one.

Was the water filter flushed?

Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds and then release it for 5 seconds.
Repeat the process until water starts to flow at a steady pass and all the air is out of the water line. You may discard up to 4 gallons of water during this process.

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.
