Leaking from dispenser

* Note: When the unit is first installed or reinstalled, the dispenser should run 3-5 minutes to flush air from the water lines. It is perfectly normal for a couple of drops of water to drip after dispensing a glass of water, much like a faucet will drip a couple of times after turning it off.

1. If the dispenser has a steady stream of water coming out, even after a glass has been removed, the lever that is pushed in to dispense water may be stuck. Try to push dispenser lever in and out to release. Do not press to hard on the lever it may cause damage.

2. If the dispenser has a consistent drip, there are air bubbles in water lines creating pressure to occur. To flush the air bubbles out, dispense 2-3 gallons of water then check if dripping has stopped.

3. Water appearing in the drip tray randomly is normal. The unit goes into an auto defrost mode twice per day. This mode causes the ice in the ice bin closet to the door and funnel opening to slightly melt. At the funnel, warm air gets inside the ice closet and melts causing the small drip.

4. If the dispenser flap in the door does not shut all the way, cold air escapes and condensation forms, which then drips (leaks) into dispenser tray. Make sure there is no frost or ice accumulation on flap by opening the dispenser door.

5. On a Bottom Mount model ice maker is built in the door, check to make sure the icemaker is on. If the icemaker is turned off, the bucket must be emptied of all ice cubes periodically to prevent melting.
