How to Flush the Water System in a Refrigerator
How to Flush the Water System in a Amana Refrigerator
It’s important to flush the water system as often as you change the water filter. You should change and flush your water filter every 6 months. If you haven’t flushed the water system or replaced the water filter yet, read on for instructions on how to do so.
Note: One or two drops of water immediately after dispensing is normal and will end shortly. It may be necessary to hold the container under the dispenser for 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser button.
Flushing the Water System:
- Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds and then release it for 5 seconds.
- Repeat the process until water starts to flow at a steady pass and all the air is out of the water line. You may discard up to 4 gallons of water during this process.
After flushing the water system, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool and chill the water. Then, dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
