How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Shut off the water supply and unplug the refrigerator before disconnecting any water lines.

Step 1 – Replace water filter:

Install a new Fhiaba-compatible water filter and flush several liters of water.

Step 2 – Check for kinks:

Inspect the external water line and the line entering the cabinet for sharp bends.

Step 3 – Frozen line check:

If the dispenser line runs through the freezer door, a frozen section may block flow.
Increase freezer temperature slightly and leave the door closed to allow thawing, or consult a technician for line heater options.

Step 4 – Dispenser valve:

If flow remains weak, the dispenser section of the inlet valve may be restricted and should be replaced.
