If your refrigerator coffee maker is not working and it won’t brew, start with the water supply—no cold water at the dispenser or slow flow is the most common cause. Make sure the line to the fridge is turned on and the water filter is fresh; a clogged filter cuts flow and keeps the brewer from filling. Next likely cause is a clogged brewing pin in the module; remove the brewing unit, rinse it under water and clear the upper and lower pin holes with a paper clip if they’re blocked. Less common but easy to fix is an improperly installed brewer: slide the module fully onto the rails with the name plate facing you, then remove and reseat it to trigger another brew. These same checks apply when the refrigerator water dispenser not working or the fridge water dispenser not working too. If you need replacement parts like a water supply tube, water filter, brewer pins or a brewing module, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact part that fits your refrigerator.
01 - Refrigerator Water Supply Tube
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.
