How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator and unplug the unit before inspecting. Dry the area to avoid slipping.

Step 1 – Inspect water connections:

  • Check the main water supply line connection at the rear of the refrigerator.
  • Tighten compression fittings or replace damaged tubing as needed.

Step 2 – Check dual water inlet valve:

  • Remove the rear lower panel to access the valve.
  • Inspect for cracks, mineral buildup, or leaks at the valve body and outlet connections.
  • Replace the dual water inlet valve if leaking.

Step 3 – Inspect filter head and tubing:

  • Follow the water lines from the valve to the filter head and dispenser/ice maker.
  • Look for drips while the water is turned on and the dispenser is used.

When to call a technician: If you cannot locate the leak or if internal cabinet tubing is compromised, professional repair is advised.
