Safe checks before you book

  1. Filter. An overdue or incorrectly seated filter restricts flow.
  2. Frozen line in the door. Water lines through the door can freeze if the freezer runs very cold.
  3. Supply valve. Make sure the wall valve is open.
Unplug first. Switch off power (and close the water or gas supply where it applies) before looking behind or inside an appliance. If anything feels unsafe, stop and call.

What usually causes it
