Troubleshooting

Ensure the water reservoir is filled correctly. Check if the dispenser lever or button is properly engaged. Inspect for any blockages in the dispensing channel.
Unusual noises
Some operational noises like humming or clicking are normal. If noises are loud or persistent, check if the appliance is level or if it's touching a wall or cabinet.
Interior light not working
Check if the door is fully closed. If the light bulb has burnt out, it may need replacement (refer to user manual for bulb type and replacement procedure).
