Troubleshooting
Problem
Ice is not dispensing
Water dispenser is not functioning
You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator
Possible cause & Solution
Did you wait for 10 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice? if it is not sufficiently cool, it may take longer to make ice, such as when first installed. Is the water line connected and the water valve open? Did you manually stop the ice making function? Make sure you have set the Cubed or Crushed mode on. Is there any ice blocked within the ice maker bucket or ice chute? Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.
Is the water storage box installed accurately? Make sure there is enough water in the water storage box. Is water line broke or bent? Make sure the water line is unblocked and clear of any obstruction. Is the water storage box frozen for the refrigerator temperature is too low? Try selecting a warmer setting on the display panel. Is the water pump working?
This is normal. The bubbling comes from the refrigerant coolant liquid circulating through the refrigerator.
