If your refrigerator coffee maker won't brew, start with the water supply—most no-water or slow-water problems are caused by the supply being shut off, a kinked tube, or a clogged water filter. Make sure the water valve to the fridge is on, the supply tube is clear, and replace the filter if flow is weak; filters should be changed every six months. Next likely cause is clogged brewing pins in the module; rinse the brewer after each use and clear the upper or lower pin holes with a straightened paper clip if they look blocked. Less common but easy to miss is the brewer not seated correctly; the brewing module must be installed on the rails with the name plate facing you and should be removed and reinstalled between cups. If you need a replacement water supply tube, filter, pin kit, or a brewing module, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part that fits your refrigerator.
