What is the complete model number of your unit? Look inside the refrigerator section.

SOURCE: Water filter stuck on my Kenmore Fridge

I had the same problem. I coudn't get the knob to turn. I ended up taking the front grill off so I could get a better grip on the knob. Once I did that I still have to put a lot of pressure on the knob to turn it but that did the trick. When I got it turned a quarter turn then it was easy to pull the filter out. Hope this helps!

SOURCE: leak at filter

Nope. You can't bypass the tube style filter... it's the housing that cracked. That has to be removed and replaced. Sorry to give ya bad news, Mariner.

SOURCE: I have water leaking from the lower left rear side

there are 2 pipes going from the pump at the bottom of your unit ... 1 to the ice maker and the other to the filter for water.
make sure the pip for the ice make is tight in the connector of the valve ... let me know...

My kenmore elite series a/c a120t leaks from the bottom even with a drain tube.

I assume you mean it's leaking out the front. If that's the case and the drain tube is working, the rear of the unit may not be tilted down enough. The rule of thumb is 1/4" to 1/2" downward tilt on the rear. This allows the water to flow to the back of the drip pan faster. Also, be sure that the air intake filter is clean and not wet.

Hope this helps you and thnks for choosing FixYa.

2 year old kenmore elite water leaking in freezer area

Does this happen when unit is in a defrost?? If so, sounds like the drain line is clogged.The hose and pan are located under the unit.You can access this by removing the cardboard back cover.Find the drain line tube.I'm sure the drain opening at the evaporater is iced over.You will have to unplug the unit and keep the doors open to defrost.(Removing product in unit will decrease defrost time.) Maybe an hour to an hour and a half.Could be longer!! Try using a wet/dry vac to clear.
