How To: Whirlpool/KitchenAid/Maytag Water Filter Housing WPW10121138

[@mjukaku]

Saved $300 on parts and labor with this video. Followed it exactly. Thank you guys! I came straight to your channel after I had a similar repair two years ago with the water inlet valve. Unbelievable what even 5-star appliance repair companies will charge for a 10 min job.

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

Found someone else's video before yours, and was unable to accomplish the task. Their video was half as long, and assumed both that we knew how the tubing connectors worked, and that we had tiny little arms that could go under the fridge to disconnect the tubes rather than pulling the housing out and then disconnecting. Struggled for a while before giving up and finding your video... MUCH better. You actually gave me ALL the information I needed, and did so without talking down to your audience. THANK YOU!

[@appliancepartspros]

+Dave Kristof Glad the video helped you get the refrigerator fixed!

[@frk040]

Good video and great advice about using the 3/8" wrench to remove 2 water tubes

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad we were able to assist you. If there is anything we can assist you with in the future please let us know.

[@caspertheghost6260]

This is a lot more work than I expected. By the time I'm done the foods already spoiled. Forget it. I'll just buy a faucet water filter to make sure it doesn't drip water on the floor anymore.

[@appliancepartspros]

If we can help you with anything please let us know.

[@DonSATX]

I admit I was a little hesitant to do this job, but your video helped tremendously. It was a very easy job and there were no issues. My Elite Kenmore frig had a little different configuration for the water lines at the pump, but still very easy. It was a 20 minute job, including vacuuming the coils and behind the frig. Thanks!!!

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Thanks for making this video, it was such a huge help, especially the tip about depressing the gray compression rings to get the lines out.

[@larsjames5017]

I had to buy the part locally because of time constraints but this video fixed me. The family is happy to have water and ice through the door again. Thank you for the detailed explanation and the demonstration!

[@AndrewTLarsen]

Google told me the solenoid was the reason why no water was coming out. I replaced that. It still didn't work. I pulled the filter out, and it worked! But it leaked all over the floor. I discovered I could replace the filter housing. It was worth a shot. It took about 25 minutes with this video as play by play. Water is now flowing and ice is making.

[@WangChung81]

Oh my god, the note about using the wrench to press down the fittings DEFINITELY helped! I had all the new hoses and couldn't figure out how to get the old ones out, and was afraid of breaking the filter housing. Thanks again!

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad the video helped you get the refrigerator fixed!

[@wayneball8356]

Appreciate you posting this instructional video. My son and I had no problems completing the replacement! Cheers

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad the video helped you get the housing changed!

[@georgea7664]

Thanks for the video, saved me from having to pay big money for repairs. Ordered the part, done in less than 15 minutes after my part arrived

[@matthewdwatrous]

Thank you for the straight-forward, non-technical instructions for this non-technical dude.

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@johncaruso7437]

This is an excellent video. I followed the instructions and my new filter housing was installed in just minutes. It took longer to gather my tools than it did to install the new filter housing. The only caveat I had was with the water valve; my water valve is configured differently with the supply line going directly into the filter housing. I'm very pleased with the results thanks to your video.

[@appliancepartspros]

We're happy to hear your repair went well! A single part can be compatible with many different appliances. We film the part on a single appliance model to serve as an example of the repair, but there may be slight variations in the process for different models. Thank you for letting us know how it went for your model.

[@markmason3535]

Thank you. This video saved me a LOT of money

[@terrentech]

What on earth is the"support arm" supporting? Doesn't look like anything to me. Just a stupid metal wire supporting itself? My fridge is actually missing that part. I found that inspecting the tubes for imperfections and trimming them with a razor blade (just enough to clear the problem) stopped the leak (so far). We'll see tomorrow I guess. Great video, thanks!

[@wylapache5362]

Replacing my "water filter housing" replace my water fill from a "slow trickle" to "full flow". At first I thought it was the "water inlet valve" but after changing it the water was still flowing slow. Then you check: line kinks, clogged filter, saddle valve and other things but it turned out the be the "water filter housing". Now my fridge works like the day I bought it. Thanks Once Again

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome! Glad we could help!

[@frankbuehner7389]

Just replaced mine and your vide was very helpful. I have an external water filter at $10 each versus 30 for internal. But there was an internal leak in the filter housing that looks like it has been slowly going bad for some time. I wanted to upload a picture but that is not an option here. At least they left enough room that allowed for maintenance work.

[@davebenedict7986]

Thank you for the video. Using a wrench to loosen the hose fittings is a great idea. Unfortunately, my filter housing is in the top of the refrigerator section, but maybe I can find another video to clear the fog on that. So I don't completely destroy the interior...

[@sbearly]

Thanks for the video. Not exactly like mine but close enough. Did a little cursing along the way but got it done.

[@Will47096]

My leak was coming from the filter housing and filling the drain pan to overflow. I watched a couple of videos on replacing and fixing it and it seemed that minerals in the water could build on the inside of the filter housing where the filter points go in. Instead of replacing the whole thing, or taking it apart to clean it, I took a straw cleaner and used tongs to get it far enough back, and just cleaned the walls of the ports, scrubbing back and forth, to remove any mineral deposits that were keeping the seals from working. I put the old filter cartridge back in and no leaks!

[@appliancepartspros]

Happy to hear that you were able to get it fixed! If you are needing any help with anything else let us know!

[@AndyNav1]

What a great video thank you. Would you please tell me why the water from the filter started tasting like some kind of chemical after a few days of use when replaced with a new one. I've used the same filters for many years. Could it be because of the filter housing broken parts? Thanks

[@nestorroman2694]

Excellent Information Sir! I will be doing this same operation.

[@watercity2938]

[@borisstarosta7823]

Excellent video! I wish I had seen it before doing this job... as it was, I didn't know how to remove the input water line from the filter housing. The result: a busted bushing that seals the line to the housing. Do you know if such a bushing can be obtained as a separate part?

[@davidlis6709]

I had no water flow was a bad filter housing weird and I changed my filters regularly this video helped though thanks

Chờ tin của bạn. Thank for your

[@BadWeatherfreak]

If the fridge won't dispense water after a filter replacement can the housing be defective?

[@andrewwood6000]

Thank you!

Good video.

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad the video helped you out!

[@mikekane160]

Thanks, this is helpful. I just replaced my water inlet valve using one off your videos and everything worked great! Then l looked way under and saw the filter housing leaking . Question - why is it necessary to disconnect the lines from the back at all? Are they too short to allow the filter housing to be pulled out of the front?

[@appliancepartspros]

You are right the water line is too short to pull the housing out enough!

[@wylapache5362]

Actually its hard to pull the lines out from the front, you have to fit both your hands in the front housing. One to hold the line the other to push the seal down. Its easier if you disconnect the "water in" line and the line from the "water inlet valve". Then the water filter housing comes out from the front and its easier to work on. Hope that helps. I did mine in 20 mins.

[@scjmusic]

Thank you - I will order with you next time. I suggest you add a bit about what happens if the water lines don't come out easily. I had to pry mine out with jewelry tools (that's what I had on hand :) The small one came out just fine with the wrench, but I had to break the seal and work it down a bit before the wrench would work. Otherwise, I this video was a life saver!!!!! I have a different model and had to modify the instructions a bit but that was easy to do. Thank you so much!!

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad we could help. And thanks for that tip about how you made it work!

[@Longussss]

Good afternnon, I was trying to replace the water filter and oushing the button, it did not release the filter. I took the cover off from the base and unscrewing the two screw to see the housing was still hanging with those two little hoses. I believe I need to replace the water filter house. Now this is the information from my refrigerator. WHIRLPOOL mod: ED5PHEXRQOO Ser: SS0638559 i do not know if they zeros or "O" I will really appreciate your help

[@appliancepartspros]

Sure, we'll be happy to help! Thanks for providing that information. This should be the correct water filter housing for your refrigerator: www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-housing-assy-water-wpw10121138-ap6015340.html If you ever need any other appliance parts, you can always go to our website www.appliancepartspros.com/ and put your model number into the search bar, and it should pull up the parts.

[@rosa121070]

My water filter housing leaks when i remove the filter is that supposed to happen?

[@williamsmith920]

Thank you for this video but I wish you would of spent more time on the disconnecting of the water lines. It took me a while to figure out how to disconnect them using the 3/8 inch wrench. I would of been helpful if you instructed to push on the plastic connector. I have a Kitchenaide Fridge and the diameter of the connections were smaller and the 3/8 fit right over and didn't work, I had to use a smaller wrench.

[@appliancepartspros]

We're glad we could help. Thank you for that tip about your specific model.

[@meb280]

Wish I had seen this video first, I had to learn from experience about removing the water lines from the pump in the back. After completing the work, I am having leakage from the bottom (outlet) water line at the housing. The end of the line that goes into the housing does look a bit scarred from the bite of the push connectors, would this cause leakage at the push tabs?

[@moonmagnolia7]

Yep. Take the tube out, cut the scarred part off, being sure to cut it smoothly 90 degrees and push it back in tightly, ensuring a firm fit.

[@kenynn113]

I bought this replacement part from you guys because my old one was leaking at the o-rings of the housing. The new one is doing the SAME THING!! It's leaking right where the lines go into the housing. I've tried cutting 1/4" off of the line and re-inserting it and it's still leaking! Did I get a bad water filter housing by chance? What should I do now? I really don't want to call a repairman since I've fixed my fridge many times by replacing my water inlet valve. Fridge is only 10 years old, Model # ED5JHEXTB00

[@tsoo6448]

CKmason14 I have the same problem water leaking where the lines are inserted, purchased a new housing and still happening, how did u fix it?

[@kevinford6372]

Any answers, I'm having the same problem

[@moonmagnolia7]

Wow, that sucks! I hope they sent you a replacement and the new ones worked. If not, try this… Buy a shark bite 5/16" 1/4" push to connect coupler, take the o-rings and push to connect clips out of the coupler, and use them to replace the O-rings and push to connect tabs in the water filter housing.

[@vspfxt3332]

anyone know where I can buy one of those grey locking collars

[@appliancepartspros]

What is the model number of your appliance?

[@xxxSubZero]

I hope that anyone who has this fridge watches this video first At 3:08 he removes the pipes from the housing, I have this fridge and removed the pipes myself while also removing those small grey plastic pieces they go into that grip the pipes. If you do this you are screwed because they also grip onto tiny gaskets within the housing. Once the grey piece has been removed, unless you have some special tool you're probably not getting them back into the right position.

[@vspfxt3332]

Bruh I removed them and am trying to see where I can buy new ones so does this mean I need a new housing?

[@xxxSubZero]

[@gisienbao4179]

if water is leaking from the hose connection area, does it mean that its time to get a new water filter housing?

[@moonmagnolia7]

It just be the o-rings in the water filter housing. Buy a shark bite 5/16”-1/4” coupler (push to connect), take the push tabs and o-rings out of the coupler and use them to replace the ones in your water filter housing.

[@lightingstar4]

The plastic pins inside my water filter housing broke so it’s not engaging. Is there a replacement part I can buy? I am trying to avoid spending 80+ on the entire housing.

[@appliancepartspros]

We can look and see if there are some clips that you can get, but you normally would have to replace the whole housing. What is your model number and we can look into this for you.

[@appliancepartspros]

What is the model number of your appliance?

[@michaelletizia400]

I have a whirlpool side by side mod#ED2FHEXVB01. Everything was working fine until I put a new filter in. The water dispenser then dispensed water very slowly. Put old filter back in it works great. Try three filters and every one did not work. Any ides.

[@appliancepartspros]

The first thing to check would be that it's the correct water filter for your refrigerator and that it has been installed correctly. When I look up your model, I get this water filter: www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-filter3-single-edr3rxd1-ap5983563.html. We also have an installation video that you can check out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6GTp4Gjpc11nLc. If your filter came with any instructions to prime it, be sure those have been followed before the filter is installed. After it's installed, purge the line. If that's all done and it's still not working, it could be the water filter head.

[@michaelletizia400]

Check everything, still no luck. I try four new filters. Are you saying it could be the water filter head of all four new filters or the connecting in the water filter housing?

[@appliancepartspros]

I looked into the schematics for your model, and it looks like it could be the water filter housing. The one for your model is here: www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-housing-assy-water-wpw10121138-ap6015340.html

[@erikgronowski8574]

Why remove the lines from the inlet valve? Seems like an unnecessary step. Can't I just turn the water off and swap out the cartridge housing?

[@moonmagnolia7]

If you can get your hands in there to disconnect the tubes, yes. I was wondering the same thing.

[@dcole302]

Having a hell of a time Removing tubes from filter housing.. Using tons of force and can't get it off

[@laysqwe]

After instating new filter I have low pressure do to the filter why is this I put the old one back and also low water pressure

[@appliancepartspros]

During the removal and replacement, it's possible that the filter head/filter casing could have been damaged.

[@nowisconvenient]

Could you show us what you mean that got damaged in having that issue as well

[@wylapache5362]

What it is, is that the water filter housing has a "spring" loaded seal on the back end to seat the filter. If that is lose or one of the water seals are lose either you will have a "leak" or "slow flow trickle" out of your water dispenser. This will fix slow water fills on water dispenser. My fridge had the same issue. $67 for the part, easy DIY.....

[@cmikesmith664]

What if no water is flowing through the filter however the water and the ice maker are working fine? Any suggestions?

[@cmikesmith664]

Rob Woods, I followed this video and installed a new housing and a new filter. Perfect!! Just like new and saved hundreds of dollars. Thank you,

[@texasfirefly6060]

I have the same issue. Did you resolve your problem? If so, how?

[@caspertheghost6260]

You need to make sure it locks in and doesn't drip anymore water before you put everything all the way back. It could be the filter itself

[@appliancepartspros]

That is possible yes. If there is anything we can help you with please let us know.
