If your refrigerator coffee maker won’t brew, the most common cause is a lack of water to the brewer. Start by confirming the water supply to the fridge is on and the dispenser is delivering cold water; a clogged or overdue water filter can slow or stop flow, so replace the filter if it’s older than six months. Next most likely is a blocked dispensing pin in the brewing module — remove the module, rinse it, and clear the upper and lower pins with a paper clip if they’re clogged. Finally, make sure the brewer is seated correctly on its rails with the name plate facing forward; some models will not dispense unless the brewer is fully installed and reset between cups.

Make sure you are getting cold water at the dispenser. If not, check that the water supply to the refrigerator is turned on. If the water flow is slow, try replacing the water filter; the water filter should be replaced every 6 months.

After each use the brewing module should be removed and rinsed with water. If the upper or lower pin gets clogged, you can use a paper clip to clean out the holes.
With the brewing module inserted on the rails, the brewer's name plate must be facing the user and must be removed and reinstalled to dispense another cup.
