  1. Water Leak

    • 1

      Verify that there is water on the floor that indicates a water leak. Pull your U-line refrigerator unit away from the wall.

    • 2

      Close the shut-off valve for the water line. If a shut-off valve is not present, close the shut-off valve for your home's main water line.

    • 3

      Remove the fitting on the water line with the adjustable wrench to make sure it is threaded correctly.

    • 4

      Examine the threads of the brass fitting to see if plumber's tape was used. Remove all traces of the tape from the threads.

    • 5

      Replace the fitting for the water line back on the refrigerator unit. Tighten the valve with the adjustable wrench.

    Not Turning On

    • 6

      Go to your home's circuit panel to see if a circuit has tripped or if a fuse has blown. Turn the breaker on or replace a blown fuse.

    • 7

      Examine the panel on the front of the refrigerator unit. Verify that the control panel indicates the unit is turned on.

    • 8

      Check the power cord to see if it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Verify that the on/off switch is set to the “On” position.

Tips & Warnings

  • Verify that the shut-off valve for the water line is open if there is no water coming into the unit.
