According to the problem analysis result done by CCA, you can directly begin the subsequent troubleshooting process from the corresponding potential root cause.
1. External water line
STEP 1 - Verify all the shut-off valves on the external water line are fully turned on.
- Result 1 - All the shut-off valves are fully turned on.
Start "Water Filter" chapter. - Result 2 - Any of the shut-off valves is off.
Start STEP 2.
STEP 2 - Turn on the shut-off valve, and verify if the water flow rate can reach 30ml/sec
- Result 1 - The water flow rate can reach 30ml/sec.
Issue close. (Root cause: External water line shut off) - Result 2 - The water flow rate cannot reach 30ml/sec.
Start "Water Filter" chapter. - Result 3 - The water is not dispensed at all.
Start "Solenoid & Control Board" chapter.
2. Water Filter
STEP 1 - Verify the flow rate before and after the water filter are the same and reach 30ml/sec.
- Result 1 - The water flow rate before and after the water filter are the same and reach 30ml/sec.
Start "Solenoid & Control Board" chapter. - Result 2 - The water flow rate after the filter is lower than the flow rate before the filter.
Start STEP 2.
STEP 2 - Replace the water filter, and verify the flow rate before and after the water filter are the same and reach 30ml/sec.
- Result 1 - The water flow rate before and after the water filter are the same and reach 30ml/sec.
Issue close.(Root cause: Water filter clog)
3. Solenoid & Control Board
STEP 1 - Verify the solenoid wire connection (solenoid to extension wire, extension wire to control board).
- Result 1 - The wire connections are fine
Start STEP 3. - Result 2 - Any of the wire connections is inpropered.
Start STEP 2.
STEP 2 - Reconnect the wire properly, and verify the water dispensing function.
- Result 1 - The water flow rate can reach 30ml/sec.
Issue close. (Root cause: Solenoid wire disconnected.) - Result 2 - The water is not dispensed at all.
Start STEP 3.
STEP 3 - Replace the solenoid, and verify the water dispensing function.
- Result 1 - The water flow rate can reach 30ml/sec.
Issue close. (Root cause: Solenoid failure.) - Result 2 - The water is not dispensed at all.
Start STEP 4.
STEP 4 - Replace the control board, and verify the water dispensing function.
- Result 1 - The water flow rate can reach 30ml/sec.
Issue close. (Root cause: Control board failure.) - Result 2 - The water is not dispensed at all.
