Sub-Zero Unit with Ice and Water Dispenser Dripping
Topics:
- Classic Series (BI) external water dispenser drips
- Water leaks from water dispenser when not in use
- Water sputters when dispensed
Cause:
- Low water pressure
- Air in water line
- Defective switch
Troubleshooting:
- Verify the water tank is full.
- Press and hold WATER or the water dispenser button until water flows from the dispenser.
- It may need to be pressed for 60 seconds for water to fill the internal reservoir tank.
- Refer to Priming the Water Dispenser Tank for more information.
- Remove water filter, then repeat step 1 to determine if water filter is clogged.
- If water begins to flow, replace filter.
- Water filters may be purchased through Sub-Zero’s Accessory Store.
- Water will drip for a second after releasing the button. This is considered normal.
- To avoid these drips catching on the side of the glass, remove the glass downward, rather than pulling directly away from the dispenser.
- If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, service is necessary to expertly diagnose and repair the product. Contact Factory Certified Service to schedule an appointment for repair.
