How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the water supply before disconnecting any lines. Unplug the refrigerator if accessing the inlet valve.

  • 1. Replace water filter: Install a new Café/GE filter and flush thoroughly.
  • 2. Inspect supply line: Ensure the line behind the refrigerator is not kinked or crushed.
  • 3. Check shutoff valve: Fully open the saddle or angle stop valve feeding the refrigerator.
  • 4. Clean or replace inlet valve: Remove the water line at the valve and inspect the inlet screen for debris. If clogged or the valve does not open fully during a fill test, replace the valve.
