Water filter assy was broken and leaking
The repair was fairly easy, just unscrewed the lower back panel and removed the ice maker hoses. the pulled the hoses out of the interior and replaced with new hoses. After running the water for a few moments, all is well and our family has ice and filtered water again. However, be careful when you are moving the fridge out of it's original space because the kitchen floor vinal ripped and now I have to replace the kitchen floor. What would have cost me about $40 to repair is now going to cost me much more.

Filter stopped up. Causing the refrigerator to make a loud noise. water dispenser didn't work. less than 4.00 fixed all that
Shut off water supply. filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the refrigerator on the inside. open the drop-down door. by hand pull the filter downward. then twist it to the left one quarter turn. it should pull out. I replaced it with a filter bypass plug. you can purchase a high quality filter to replace.it don't buy cheap filter.I made that mistake! hope this helps good luck!

For model number adf2535dew

Hello Greg, thank you for your question. It sounds like the water filter head is not allowing water to come into the unit and be directed to the icemaker/dispenser area. We would recommend replacing Water Filter Head Part Number: WP67004106. I hope this helps.

We just replaced the dual water valve for our refrigerator. There is very little water being dispense. The water filter is making a loud noise when dispensing water and when water fills the ice maker. What is causing that loud noise?
For model number MFI2269VEM3

Replaced water filter with blue bypass plug (as we now have home filtration) but no water will come out of the dispenser. It works fine with the filter in, but not with the filter out or the bypass plug fully inserted. How do we get it to dispense water without the filter? Thanks!

I have just bought a 2nd hand f/f hooked up the water and cannot get flow. The water filter is missing, could this stop the water flow?
For model number GC2225GEKS
PartSelect logo
Hi Graeme, thank you for your question. It should not. If your filter is missing you need to have the cap there or else water would leak from the missing filter location. If you are getting no water at all, you may want to look at your water inlet valve being the issue. The valve can be tested with a multi meter and should be reading between 500 - 1500 ohms of resistance. You may want to make sure you either have a new filter in place or a cap before turning on the water. Good luck with your repair.
