replacing a whirlpool refrigerator water filter

[@SoomerAli]

Filter is jammed in mine…how to take out. Does not automatically pop out

[@jaysalsa5336]

Glad I found this video. I was looking in the fridge trying to find the filter and couldn't find it, until I saw this video. Thank you !

[@lauragremaud5790]

Couldn’t have found a better explanation

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks

[@samharmonica6572]

thanks for your helpful video. I have a bigger problem, the cover with a spring has been fallen off. I like to know how the spring is hooked between the hinge and cover. really appreciate your help

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

There are so many different models you will have to find yours and then use that as a reference. www.appliancepartspros.com/ may be able to help

[@Hyperslob]

Thanks for the vid. I went too change the filter and the dudes that installed the fridge forgot or misplaced the plastic white piece that helps pop out the filter.

[@Kolistwaky9161]

Mine too. How do you get it out without the cover door.

Anyone got any advice if I did this exact thing and my water stopped flowing all together

[@nllbjm]

I have the same issue going to try the paper towel trick on door see if it works.

[@fballboii]

@@nllbjmcan you explain this trick?

[@scstinger5]

@@fballboii You can remove the filter and use it without one. Then the water for ice and drinking will work. If you want filtered water you can install a in-line filter on the water hose on the back of the fridge. Also a in-line filter last several years fyi.

I had the same problem and fixed it!! It seems weird & counter-intuitive, but when you close the filter door, don’t press it all the way. For me, it only works when I barely close the door until the click. Any additional pressure causes the fridge to make noise and not dispense water. (When I put the old filter, same make and model, it works fine even if I press it hard)

[@johnmuscolino5160]

Thanks so much. Saved me the cost of a service call.

[@sstjacques]

Yes, run a gallon with no filter before putting new one in, water was blue / green for a few glasses like the junk from old filter back floated out. My filter was clogged after it been in for 2 years, comming out slow the last few months but looked clean still and tasted ok.

[@grizzlytraining3327]

Have u had issues with after replacing filter water not dispensing

[@dem279]

Mine dispenses weirdly too as ive just replaced it. Has it fixed itself?

[@grizzlytraining3327]

@dem5531 no still don't work

Run the water few times and it should adjust.

[@shakira0597]

My issue is that the water taste as if it’s from the yard hose and has a funny smell to it as well 😢 any thoughts on what it could be or do I have to call someone about it and if so would I call a plumber? I’ve already added a knew filter

[@LateNightDrew]

Did you let the new filter flush?

[@shakira0597]

@@LateNightDrew yes many many times I took it back after two days and they replaced it. The new one is good. Pretty sure the last one was defective

[@LateNightDrew]

@@shakira0597 Yeah that’s weird. I was told to flush out 3 gallons worth, but it should be good afterwards. I don’t know who to call but I would call a plumber for starters and see what they can do. Best of Luck.

[@kimmiestar23]

Have the same fridge and once it's in it made a noise. I never heard a noise from filters before. Also not filtering the water at all. Water runs fine without the filter. NEED HELP!!!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Hard to diagnose that without being there. Probably a loose connection but my also need the filter inlet assembly repaired/replaced, which is not bad if you want to go the DIY route but need to have some aggressive confidence in these quick connect water connections or major flooding could occur.

[@LiotaR]

Thank you even the dumb QR code designated for the fridge said it was suppose to be inside 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@iceman1616]

I’ve done it this way for three years with no issues but for some reason the filter will not stay in the fridge anymore and will SHOOT out of the housing after I shut the lid

[@newbiedrunkdriver9293]

Omg me too, anyone know what to do abt this

[@GamingAndRCs]

Filter doesn't leak if the light is on.

[@Kolistwaky9161]

How to take out the filter if the latch door is missing

[@Theguywhodoesthings]

take flathead screwdriver to the latch on the left of the filter inside, and should pop out a bit then pull

[@jukluque]

My fridge starting rattling after changing it, any idea what it is?

[@juanpablocarmona1002]

Me too I have no clue

[@MikeP828]

Why is my fridge leaking after I replaced old filter?

[@elmerramirez1215]

You need a new water filter housing

[@nicolefuentes2147]

​@@elmerramirez1215 where would you get one of those and who can install it?

[@elmerramirez1215]

@@nicolefuentes2147 there’s this website called “reliable parts” just type the model of the refrigerator and it’ll show all the parts available for them

[@chrisvalenzuela7911]

Whats the water filter part #?

[@Huncho463]

Hbnok filter

[@caroldavis285]

Water want come thur the filter. Only about half oz at a time.

[@tamaraposner1431]

Same issue here!

[@tamaraposner1431]

I watched another trouble-shooting video came to the conclusion that it is the inlet valve. Video makes it look easy...lol😂 Called an appliance repair shop. They are sending someone out. Let you know what happens.

[@tamaraposner1431]

It turns out that is was the housing where the filter goes into. Sometimes it pays for a professional to come out.

[@nicholasdangelo2343]

How do you reset the red alarm light?

[@shakira0597]

On mine you hold down the button you press to change the temperature of the fridge it’ll say under it “hold 3 seconds to reset filter” or something like that

[@angienunezUe]

My door is broken how do I take it out

[@PatchesOwner]

The door is missing on mine. Can it be replaced?

[@en5728]

Was I supposed to drain the old water all out first before adding the new filter 🤦🏾‍♀️😂

[@barrybicepsakafreddyflapja1399]

When i open mine, the filter is just stuck and doesnt come out

[@chrisbuffoni]

Same, did you figure it out?

[@myacount9688]

Didn't know fridges could have filters

[@chromotk1118]

Fridges that dispense water or ice have them in order to purify the water 💦

[@en5728]

I didn’t either 😂

[@JM-nk7xq]

When I open the door the white hinge isn’t attached and the filter doesn’t pop out I tried using a wrench but it is stuck

[@grindy252]

Same! Help did u figure it out?

[@sbuyea407]

Flat head screwdriver on the left side. Get it behind the part that sticks out on the filter and it comes right out with very little leverage

[@purplemonsterette]

@@sbuyea407thank you! Very helpful

[@claudiacolbert3093]

I close mine and it pops back open

[@yankeesfan2051]

My filter door keeps popping open. What do I do

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

See if theres a break in the plastic latch if so replace the latch / filter assembly or do some fabrication.

[@bennylopez489]

Door pops open when installing filter

[@claudiacolbert3093]

And now even more water is leaking out

[@yankeesfan2051]

There was a break in the latch. If that keeps happing. Just need to replace the latch that’s holds the filter in.

[@groudongamer3178]

I follwed the vid and its still wont fucking go in

[@IamJJ..1]

Is the new filter lighter than the Old one? Or does the new one need to also be as heavy as the one your replacing?

[@createdmyusername]

New one is lighter because the membranes are dry.

[@julioarmandogarayquinto5487]

Ufff delirante

[@belanovamdc]

I can’t close the door now 😢

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Check to make sure filter is the same and aligns properly
