Possible Causes

Air trapped in water line, Worn water inlet valve, Faulty dispenser lever or switch, High water pressure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off water supply if a continuous leak occurs.

  • Bleed air: Dispense several liters of water continuously to remove air from the system after filter changes or installation.
  • Check for debris: Replace the water filter if it is old or clogged.
  • Observe valve behavior: If water continues to flow for more than a few seconds after releasing the lever, the inlet valve may be sticking and should be replaced.
  • Inspect lever: Ensure the dispenser lever returns fully to its rest position and is not obstructed.
