Frequently Asked Questions - ADD6901 PHILIPS

How do I change the water filter on the Philips ADD6901?

To change the filter, first unplug the unit. Remove the water tank, open the filter cover, and twist the old filter counterclockwise. Insert the new filter by twisting clockwise until it locks. Replace the tank and run a full cycle to flush the system.

Why is no water coming out of my dispenser?

Check if the water tank is empty or not properly seated. Ensure the unit is plugged in and powered on. If the issue persists, the water pump may be airlocked; try priming it by pressing the cold water button for 10 seconds.

How do I clean the interior of the water dispenser?

Use a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1) to descale the internal system. Run the solution through the hot and cold water lines, then flush with clean water. Wipe the exterior with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What does the child lock feature do and how to enable it?

The child lock prevents accidental dispensing of hot water. To enable, press and hold the child lock button for 3 seconds until the indicator lights up. To disable, repeat the same action.

Can I use tap water directly in the Philips ADD6901?

What should I do if the hot water temperature is not hot enough?

Check if the hot water tank is full. The unit may need time to reheat after heavy use. If the issue persists, the heating element may be faulty. Contact Philips support.

Does the Philips ADD6901 have a warranty?

Yes, the dispenser comes with a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Warranty does not cover misuse, unauthorized repairs, or normal wear and tear.
