Possible Causes

Air trapped in water lines, Worn water inlet valve, Leaking dispenser nozzle, High water pressure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off water supply if disconnecting lines. Unplug the refrigerator when accessing internal components.

Steps to stop dripping:

  • 1. Purge air: Dispense several gallons of water to remove air from the system after filter changes.
  • 2. Inspect dispenser nozzle: Check for mineral buildup; clean with vinegar if needed.
  • 3. Check water inlet valve: If water continues to flow or drip steadily, the water inlet valve may not be closing fully and should be replaced.
  • 4. Install pressure regulator: If household water pressure is very high, consider a regulator to reduce pressure to manufacturer specifications.
