How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Step 1 – Check water pressure:

  • Dispense water from the door; if flow is weak, water pressure may be low.
  • Ensure the shutoff valve is fully open and supply line is not kinked.

Step 2 – Replace water filter:

  • Install a new Water Filter and flush for 2–3 minutes.

Step 3 – Inspect water inlet valve (advanced):

  • Unplug the refrigerator and turn off water supply.
  • Remove the rear lower access panel and locate the Water Inlet Valve.
  • Check screens for debris and clean or replace the valve if restricted.

Step 4 – Monitor ice size:

  • Allow 24 hours after changes; if cubes remain small, the Water Inlet Valve may need replacement.
