If your water dispenser is not working with a filter, it could be due to a few common issues. First, ensure the filter is properly installed; it might need to be removed and reinstalled to ensure a secure connection. Check if the filter is expired or clogged, as this can restrict water flow. Additionally, air trapped in the water line post filter change can cause the dispenser to malfunction. Try flushing the water system by dispensing several gallons of water. If these steps don't resolve the problem, consulting the manufacturer’s guide or a professional technician might be necessary.
