To get air out of a water dispenser, you generally need to purge the water line by dispensing water until the air is gone and the water flows smoothly and consistently.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Dispense Water: The primary method is to simply dispense water from the dispenser. Hold a large container (larger than a drinking glass) under the dispenser spout and allow the water to flow.
-
Continue Dispensing: Keep dispensing water for several minutes. The air will eventually be pushed out of the line, and the water flow will become steady and air-free. Be prepared to empty the container multiple times as you purge the air. The linked YouTube video [How to Purge Air from Refrigerator Water Line - YouTube]() references needing to empty the container to avoid overflow.
-
Check for Improvements: Observe the water flow. If it's still sputtering or inconsistent, continue dispensing.
-
Repeat if Necessary: If the problem persists, repeat the process. It may take several attempts to completely remove the air.
