The water has always come out fairly fast. A few weeks ago it

suddenly slowed down. If the original flow was a 10 then now it
is like a 6 or 7. I changed the water filter and at first it
was fast then slowed down again. I have purchased some new
filters from a different manufacturer.

What else can I check or do if the new filter doesn't help?



A water line needle valve tapped into the bottom of the water pipe
might do that.


I'd check the flow coming in, at the fridge, by disconnecting it and
using a bucket. Could also be the solenoid valve getting gunked up,
I suppose or an obstruction somewhere in the fridge plumbing. Any
chance the tubing got a kink in it?



How do you check the solenoid valve?
