Refrigerator Water Filter Specifications
This single water filter is designed for use in side-by-side refrigerators, positioned in the front top-right section for easy access. It utilizes a carbon-based filtration system to reduce a wide range of contaminants, including cysts, turbidity, lead, mercury, and herbicides, ensuring cleaner water and ice from the dispenser. Measuring 6 x 3 x 7 inches and constructed from white plastic, the filter is engineered for performance and ease of replacement. Common symptoms indicating the need for replacement include reduced ice production, dispensing issues, leakage, and unusual noise. The filter should be replaced every six months or after 200 gallons of use, as indicated by the red light on the freezer door dispenser. Installation requires no tools: press the release button to remove the old filter, insert and lock the new one, then run water

We live in rural SW Missouri, so I am very dependent on the internet. I found PartSelect on a Google search and simply inputted the modle number and serial number for the refrigerator and there it was. I was able to order the right part the first time and repair the refrigerator myself! No serviceman needed here!
The website was easy to navigate. Loved the schematic drawings of the appliance, it made it easy to find the part you are looking for without the guesswork (part names are sometimes not intuitive). My parts arrived promptly, the price was competitive, everything fit beautifly as expected. Would recommend this merchant, will shop there aga

First I disconnected the power cord, then removed the screws that held the bracket that holds the base for the water-filer in place. I then disconnected the water lines(intake and outflow). Next I removed the screws that held the water-filter's base in place. I then disconnected the release lock mechanism for the filter and finally remove
... Read mored the water-filter base. I did the reverse to install the new water-filter base. Previously I had tested the intake water line and noticed the water was flowing with enough pressure upto the water-filter's base but no water was exiting thru the outflow line, which leads to the Ice-Maker and Dispenser. I had tried changing the filter but that didn't solve the problem it was then I had realized that the Base was the problem. The actual problem was the spring-loaded valves for both the intake and outflow lines, which had a plastic prong that protrudes out of the base that is triggered by the filter when installed. The two prongs were worn-down so the filter wasn't activating the spring-loaded release valve to let the water thru. As for the light, I just unscrewed it.
First I replaced the Defrost Thermostat on the coil and this did not fix the problem. So I ordered this new ADC (Adaptive Defrost Control)board. It is not identical to the first ADC board and at least one feature the old ADC did was deleted from the function of the Fridge. Not sure why? Because the board were different a new wir

Remove the covers off of the unit on the top of the fridge using the 1/4" nut driver and a 1/4" deep well socket with extension for the deeper inset fasteners. This exposes the wiring harness and the ADC board as well as the temperature controls. step 3. Remove the screws for the ADC on the cover and remove the wiring harness from it. No need to note the wire's positions as the new ADC uses a different connector. step 4. As you remove each connection of the wire harness from the unit replace that connection with then new harness connector to eliminate any confusion. Do each one. One by one until the old harness is completely loose and the new harness is completely installed. step 5. Install new ADC which in my case was now enclosed in an orange case. Unlike the one I removed that was and open pcb. Step 6. Replace covers using the 1/4" nut driver and 1/4" wrench. Step 7. Replace filter and plug in unit.
Apparently there have been 4 versions of this ADC board through the years. My fridge was built in 2003 not long before I bought it.

Pushed the button on the filter in the fridge, the cartridge popped out and in with the new. That simple. Prior to replacement the water was leaking, although it was still producing water and ice through the door. When the filter was out, no leaks, but no water and ice! Just needed a new filter.

Tried replacing water filter first. It stilled leaked, so I removed the covers to gain access to the water filter base. After cutting the two hoses to remove the old base, I simply slid the hoses into the new base, screwed it into place, replaced the covers, and then reinstalled the new water filter. No more leak!
Just opened the filter storage and popped out the old one and put in the new one. Ran the system for three minutes according to directions and it worked fine.

I have a Frigidaire refrigerator the water filter pops out after a few mins. We installed the filter nine months ago does this mean we need to replace the filter?
HI Michael,
Thank you for your question. A filter should be replaced every 6 months. If the filter was installed nine months ago, you will need to replace it. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I am trying to assist my son-in-law in replacing his refrigerator water filter. He indicated that the filter was working fine without leaking until he installed the replacement filter (crystala filter #cf2). The replacement filter appears to be the right one for the refrigerator, and it is a simple task, but i am also experiencing a leak when i put in the replacement filter. Unfortunately, i don't have the old filter, so i cannot compare it to the new filter he purchased. Would you have any suggestions what could be causing the problem?
Hi Connell,
Thank you for your question. It is likely the generic filter is just not correct for the appliance. This can sometimes happen with generic filters. I would suggest replacing it with an OEM filter, which is the part that you are inquiring on. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Sandy, Thank you for the question. You may need to reset the light.Press and Hold the Reset Button Until the Indicator Light Flashes and resets. Next flush a couple of gallons of water through your new filter. Hope this helps!

Water drips heavily from the section under where the water filter is. We have to keep a little container to catch the water.
Hello Debra, thank you for inquiring. For this symptom you will want to replace either the Water Filter part PS503621, the Water Inlet Valve part PS7784018, or the Water Filter Base part PS976499. We hope this helps.

My water filter will not lock in place once I tried to replace it with a new one. (Frigidaire pure source). WF2CB
Hello Milton, thank you for reaching out. We have attached an installation video of the Water Filter to help you out. If the water filter is still not locking, we would suggest checking the Water Filter Base, part number PS976499. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order, anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope that helps.
Why does water exit spigot when icemaker is calling for water?I changed out the valve with new
Hello Don, thank you for reaching out. If the water tube to the ice maker is misaligned or blocked, water may not be able to flow into the ice maker. This will eventually cause water to leak. We would recommend checking it, the part number is PS7783975. We hope this sorts out your problem!
The fridge is not dispensing water. I have ice, but no water.
Hello James, Thank you for contacting us. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: the water inlet valve, the water filer, the water filter base, the dispenser micro switch, and the dispenser switch board. Hope this helps.
