Perfect Filter
Works great in our Kitchen Aid fridge. A little difficult getting the old plug out but new filter works good.

Ice maker leaking at first then quit making ice all together
unplugged refrigerator and shut off water, removed one screw and loosened two more, after removing one side of the ice bucket rail, unplugged electrical from old ice maker. Then I removed the bail and out on new one, reinstalled ice maker in reverse order from taking it out.
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.
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!

The crisper drawer was broken on the slides and kept falling out. Also the filter needed changing as the red light was on.
By sliding the drawer out and lifting it up at the end, the drawer will come right out. By installing the new drawer in the same sequence, the job is completed. As for the filter, it is located inside the refrigerator compartment on the upper right side.Simply remove any items from the top shelf that may be in the way, and then push in on the tab that extends out from the filter housing. The filter and connector will swivel down at that point,simply hold the connector in one hand to stablize and with the other hand, twist the filter counter-clockwise to remove the filter. To reinstall the new filter, remove all protective covering from filter. Plase filter against filter connector and turn until tight (1/4-1/2 turn).Raise complete assemble upwads until tab snaps back into place. Installation is now complete, next purge the air out from water supply by placing a pitcher or other large container under the dispenser and activate.Run water for a minute or so until all air is removed.
The switch-out of the water filter was simple with good instructions on the box. The part was delivered very, very quickly!

water filter needed replacing
I unscrewed the old one and replaced it with the new one. The real benefit was I got the exact part I needed w/o a 30 minute drive and sales people that ignored me. I had gone to the local store the day before and come home with the wrong part because i could not get assistance and the part # I had did not match what was labled on the package. I used the same part # on the website and got exactly what was needed, less that 48 hrs after I ordered it. thanks for the prompt service. we will be a repeat customer

Front Ice Maker Display Flashing and Ice Maker Door Flapping Open and Closed
I firts pulled the refrigerator away from the wall. Un plugged it and removed a metal cover off of the back of the fridge. A clear plastic container was behind the metal pael. Removed the connectors and snapped the pld board out, Put in the new one and reinstalled the cover. Had to get the code number from theinside of the frifge and entered it into the front key pad. This step took a bit of figuring to advance the numbers using the key pad but with some trial and error...Repair done.

I changed the water filter in my fridge because the order and replace light went from green to red. Now that its been replaced how do I make the light go back to green? Will it reboot on its own?
Hi Brian, after replacing the filter you can hold the reset filter pad for 3 seconds. This should turn the light off. Best of luck with this repair.

My icemaker just stopped making ice and I know I need to replace the water filter ive just been dragging my feet about it. Is the icemaker cut off now because I need to replace my filter or is there another reason for it stopping now?
Hello Jones, we recommend replacing the water filter every 6 months, depending on how often you use it. Replacing or not replacing the filter would only affect the water dispenser, not the icemaker. The most common reason an icemaker does not get water would be a defective water valve WPW10270395. I hope this helps.

I just replaced my water filter on my Whirlpool gold however its making ice but its not dispensing water or ice. What van i do?
For model number G15SVAXVL01
Hi Ivan,
Thank you for your question. If there is no water or ice being dispensed, I would check the switch in the dispenser with a multimeter to see if it is working correctly. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

How do you remove water filter?
For model number wrx735sdbm00
Hello Richard,
Thanks for your question. Open up the fridge section, and the filter will be in the back corner of the compartment. Open up the plastic covering. You will need to twist the filter counterclockwise, then remove it.
I hope this helps.

Our fridge section is too cold. Adjusting the digital thermostat does not seem to help much.Water filter replacement comes up as the #1 solution.How does the water filter function affect fridge temp? Does seem to make sense. Thanks.
For model number GZ25FSRXYY0
Hi Steve, Thank you for the question, The suggestions are based on previous customers and what reason they gave for replacing a part. A customer replacing the filter may have clicked the wrong option in error. I suggest checking to make sure the Damper Control Assembly is not stuck open and allowing too much cold air through from the freezer. You can check to see if the flapper has froze open or if there is something blocking the flapper not allowing it to close.Hope this helps!

My refrigerator is leaking water into the freezer. My model has the freezer on the bottom. Which part do you think i need
For model number gz25fsrxyy0
Hello Walter,
Thank you for the great question. Checking the symptom list something to check would be the water filter, If it needs to be replaced it might leak or if it is loose.You can also check to see if the reservoir tank at the back of the appliance has no leaks or the lines going to the tank.
I hope this helps!

The water filter cover keeps on opening and the filter keeps dropping down. The little plastic clip is not holding the door in place. I can't seem to find the part anywhere for my kitchen aide refrigerator. I am using a soda bottle to hold the filter in place.
For model number kfis27cxwh3
Hello Greg, Thank you for your inquiry. The latch or clip for the filter cover is part# WP2223877. Hope this helps!

When I opened the filter cover the filter did not drop down like it did in the video. It is lodged in the compartment. How do I release it?
For model number MF12269FRZ02
Hello Wayne, Thank you for the question. If the filter is stuck, you may need to remove the Filter bracket, Part #: PS2069868 and cover Part #: PS11743682 to remove the filter. I also suggest checking them for any damage causing the filter to get stuck. Hope this helps!
