Well, the fridge (hotpoint branded) but clearly made by GE offered nothing in terms of priming instructions. Yes there was a new filter which came with it installed, which looks like a mason jar that screws into the top of the cold storage section.

I'm thinking there has to be air in all these lines, esp since the line that was connected was new, the fridge has never had an active water supply etc.... I let the water dispenser run for about 4 mins straight thinking that this would purge the system of air, but like i said earlier all I really managed to do was fill a glass. I'm going to give it a day to sit, and see if the water flow has become acceptable. I also read in the fridge manual that the ice maker will take approx 24hrs to become operational because it has to reach the proper temp etc.

I don't know how the fridge distributes water internally, so maybe the ice maker and water dispenser are fighting for the available water supply until the ice maker comes fully online?

Take care and thanks for the advice,

George
