If your refrigerator coffee maker is not working, start with the basics: no cold water at the dispenser is the most common cause, so check that the water supply to the fridge is turned on and that the water filter is not clogged—replace the filter every six months if flow is slow. If water is available but the brewer won’t dispense, the brewing module pins can get clogged; remove the module and rinse it, then clear the upper and lower pin holes with a paper clip if needed. Finally, make sure the brewer is installed correctly on its rails with the name plate facing you and that it is fully seated, since the unit often will not brew or dispense until removed and reinstalled properly. These three checks fix most refrigerator coffee maker problems and related issues like a water dispenser not working or the refrigerator dispenser not dispensing water.

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.
