Leaking from Dispenser - Built-In Refrigerator
Possible Solutions
Reminder: One or two drops of water immediately after dispensing is normal. It may be necessary to hold the container under the dispenser for 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser button.
Is the dispenser drip tray full?
There is an insert in the dispenser drip tray. The insert can be removed from the drip tray to carry to the sink to empty or clean. If the dispenser tray is full of water, it may leak or spill down the front of the refrigerator.
To remove the drip tray push down on the rear edge of the insert to tilt up the front edge and pull the dispenser tray out.
Are there residual ice shavings in the ice chute?
Check the ice chute for ice shavings and pieces. Ice shavings and pieces that get caught in the chute will eventually start to melt, and some dripping could occur. If using crushed ice, clear ice chute by dispensing 8-10 ice cubes after dispensing crushed ice to prevent ice-shaving build up.
Was the glass held under the dispenser long enough?
A few drops of water will dispense after releasing the dispenser lever. Hold the glass under the dispenser for 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser lever.
Was the water filter flushed?
- Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds and then release it for 5 seconds.
- Repeat the process until water starts to flow at a steady pass and all the air is out of the water line. You may discard up to 4 gallons of water during this process.
After flushing the water system, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool and chill the water. Then, dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
