Leaking from Water Dispenser - Column

Possible Solutions

Was the filter correctly installed?

If the water filter was not installed correctly, it could cause the refrigerator or freezer to leak. Please remove the filter and try installing it again.

Was the glass held under the dispenser long enough?

After releasing the dispenser lever, a few drops of water will dispense; this is normal.  Hold the glass under the dispenser for 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser lever. 

Was the water filter flushed?

Once the filter has been replaced, it is important to flush the water system. This process removes excess air, prepares the filter for use, and removes excess carbon. The air in the water system may cause dripping at the dispenser, small/hollow ice cubes, or a cloudy appearance in the water quality. 

  1. Use a sturdy container to depress, hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, and then release it for 5 seconds. As air is removed, water may spurt from the dispenser. 
  2. Repeat the process until water starts to flow at a steady pass and all the air is out of the water line. 
  3. Continue this process (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until at least 1 gallon of water has been dispensed. 

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.
