Casey - For model number KRFC300ESS01
January 16, 2020
A very loud noise that oscillates rapidly has started coming from the water filter area when ever i attempt to push the button to dispense filtered water. It causes the refrigerator to violently vibrate. I should also mention that when this noise kicks in the water no longer dispenses. This is intermittent and started about 8-10 months ago. The water filter was getting old so i replaced it and the sound stopped for a week or so but then came back. We have been living with this annoyance for months now and it will randomly occur. The cover bracket hinge that holds the water filter broke on one side but i can still rig it so that it closes and holds the water filter in place. Would this cause what i described? I've also noticed that the connector that receives the filter leaks slightly from each of the two tiny hole/plunger things. Maybe this connector needs to be replaced? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

The reported temperature is higher than it actually is. I removed the panel behind the freezer and found a large buildup of ice. That ice was removed, but still the temperature is currently showing as 60 in the freezer and 44 in the main compartment. I suspect this is causing the compressor to operate excessively, causing some food in the main compartment to freeze. I don't see a thermometer or thermocouple on the diagrams, what can fix this?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Michael, thank you for contacting us. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend replacing the electronic control board, part number PS11752684.

Removing the existing filter by rotating as directed and then dislodging from 'docking' station proved difficult. Turns out, the old filter is under a bit of vacuum pressure and getting the unit to separate or release was a challenge.

  • Jake from Novato, CA
  • Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
I removed the drop-down outer housing by gently prying the sides of the two pivot pins at the rear. This gave me move 'room' to grip and slightly rotate then pull the old filter forward and away from the tight suction connection. I was concerned that I would be too forceful for the plastic assemblies and would break something; deliberate motions and a steady thought process on the problem helped disengage the darned old filter!
