Air in refrigerator... Low dispensing pressure

Did you by any chance check the water valves for the water line to the fridge? When I was cleaning the rig, I accidentally partially closed one of them. Drove me crazy for a bit...

I did... Both of them. The one under the center island and the one in the cabinet next to the fridge were both on. I even disconnected the one next to the fridge (supply line) to test the water flow. It has more pressure that a sailor on liberty call lol. Next move.... Pull fridge from wall and look for a crack some place that would allow air to get in?

If you had a crack in the water line allowing air to enter, water would leak out under pressure.

Was thinking the same thing? I don’t see anything physically leaking out from the refrigerator. I’m gonna unbolt the refrigerator bracket and pull it away from the wall and see if there’s a leak just to satisfy my curiosity..

Ok... so today I pulled the fridge from the wall... double checked the water lines and connections... no leaks didn’t see anything obvious but still getting a bunch of air bubbles in the supply tube. Could the water inlet valve have an internal leak causing the air bubbles? Water pressure going into the inlet valve is Good. I'm stumped

If you're on pump water the only place air can be introduced is on the intake side of the pump. If you're on city water the air is most likely coming from the city line itself, since everything is under pressure, once purged, there is no air in the line. A leak pushing water out, yes! air no.
