If the water filter was just replaced or installed, ensure the filter was installed correctly. If the water filter is not seated properly, it can cause; no or low ice production and water not dispensing properly. Try removing the water filter and re-installing it.
2. Air in the system: When you replace a water filter, air can get trapped in the water lines, causing the dispenser to stop working temporarily. To fix this, try running a few cups of water through the dispenser to flush out any air bubbles. It may take a few minutes for the water flow to normalize.
Check the air filter is clean and dry. If the filter does not let air in, then the bottle gets air locked. Always check for defects in the bottle or housing before installing a new bottle. When too much air gets in because of a leak, the water will fill the overflow, and the taps will not work.

If the water filter is not connected or inserted well, the water dispenser may not work. Make sure the water filter is locked in place properly. A clogged water filter is often a culprit of poor water pressure. You can also increase the water pressure by replacing the water filter in a timely manner.
Many times, the problem is caused by a clogged filter or a frozen water line and can be easily fixed. However, if the issue persists, it may be necessary to call in a professional for refrigerator repair.
As mentioned earlier, if your filter has no suction, there is most likely a clog somewhere down the line. Debris like small rocks, sand, algae, plant matter, etc, may have built up inside the device, causing it to lose suction and stop working as a result.
Once your filter is replaced, run four gallons of water through the line to properly flush the new filter, then reset the filter light.
Locate the reset button, usually found beneath the status light on the control panel. Press and hold the button for three seconds or until you hear a beep or chirp. Once the appliance makes a noise, you can release the button and close your fridge.
With the filter removed, the water system will continue to operate, bypassing the filter, and the clogged filter will not cause slow water dispensing or low ice production. However, you will need to install a new filter to have filtered water. REMINDER: Make sure you flush the system after replacing your water filter.
After changing the water filter, reset the status. Press and hold the "WATER FILTER" button for 3 seconds. When the system is reset, the water filter icon returns to its BLUE color, and the words “Replace Filter” disappear from the display.
Clogged or partially clogged filter: This can result in no water or slow running water from the dispenser. Please change the filter. Filters should be changed every 6 months.
The water filter valve is clogged or damaged.
Additionally, the valve can become clogged due to accumulated dirt or debris, or from small errors during installation, leading to decreased lifespan and performance. To address this issue, you may need to replace the valve.
If you recently replaced the water filter and the water appears cloudy, it could be because of air in the water line. This is normal when using the water dispenser for the first time or after replacing the filter. Flush the water system to help remove the air from the water line.
If you just replaced the water filter and don't have water from the dispenser, the reservoir tank or tubing has not filled yet. Press the dispenser for several minutes to purge air from the line and make sure all the tubing is filled with water.
Check the intake strainer for any debris or obstructions. Algae, uneaten food, or accumulated gunk can impede water flow. Gently clean the strainer using a soft brush or rinse it under running water to remove the buildup. If uneaten food is a major part of the build-up consider reducing feeding quantities or frequency.

If the water line is clogged, it can usually be cleaned out by running vinegar and baking soda through the line. Clogs are likely to occur if there is a flaw in the water line or if the water filter is not updated.
