Ice has been stored too long - Discard the ice and wash the ice bin. Allow 24 hours for the ice maker
to produce new ice.
Odor has transferred from food - Use airtight moisture-proof packaging to store food.
Use of non-recommended water supply line - Odors and tastes can transfer from certain materials
used in non-recommended water supply lines. Use only a recommended water supply line.
See "Water supply requirements".
There are minerals (such as sulfur) in the water - A water filter may need to be installed in order to
remove the minerals.
Water filter was recently installed or replaced - Gray or dark discoloration in ice or water indicates
that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. See "Water and ice dispensers".
Doors not closed completely - Make sure both doors are firmly closed. (On some models, only the
freezer door must be closed in order to operate the dispenser).
Refrigerator is not connected to a water supply, or the water supply shutoff valve is not
turned on - Connect the refrigerator to a water supply and make sure the water shutoff valve is fully
open.
Kink in the water source line - A kink in the water line can reduce water flow to the dispenser.
Straighten the water line.
Water pressure to the home is not at or above 22 psi (147 kPa) - The water pressure to the home
affects the flow from the dispenser. See "Water supply requirements".
New installation - After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system.

Dispenser is locked - Unlock the dispenser. See "Water and ice dispensers".
Water filter is clogged or incorrectly installed - Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

Glass was not held under the dispenser long enough - Hold the glass under the dispenser for 2 to
3 seconds after releasing the dispenser pad/lever.
New installation, or water filter was recently installed or replaced - Air in the water lines causes
the water dispenser to drip. Flush the water system to remove the air in the water lines.
