Possible Causes

Worn water inlet valve seat, Air trapped in water line after filter change, High water pressure causing seepage, Cracked dispenser nozzle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Step 1: Purge air from system

  • After filter replacement, run at least 2–3 gallons of water through the dispenser to remove air.

Step 2: Check water pressure

  • Household water pressure should be between 30–100 psi. Excessive pressure can cause valve seepage; install a pressure regulator if needed.

Step 3: Inspect dispenser nozzle

  • Check for cracks or mineral buildup at the nozzle; clean or replace if damaged.

Step 4: Replace water inlet valve

  • If dripping persists, the valve may not be sealing fully. Replace the water inlet valve assembly.

When to call a technician: For plumbing-related pressure issues or if replacing the valve does not resolve the drip, contact a professional.
