If your refrigerator coffee maker won’t brew, start with the water supply — most problems are simple: make sure the water to the fridge is turned on, the supply tube is clear, and the water filter is not clogged. A slow or no-flow dispenser often points to a bad filter or kinked line, so replace the filter if it hasn’t been changed in six months. Next, check the brewing module and pins; food or mineral buildup can block the upper or lower pin and stop water flow, and those tiny holes can be cleared carefully with a paper clip after removing and rinsing the module. Finally, confirm the brewer is seated correctly on the rails with its name plate facing you, since an improperly installed brewer won’t engage. If you need replacement parts like a water supply tube, filter, pin or brewing module, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact part that fits your refrigerator and get back to brewing quickly.

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.
