Whirpool Fridge Freezer water filter replacement problem

Open and shut the water valve quickly to verify the water supply, it could be a bad water supply valve. Bench test the filters for flow or obstruction.

The water filter should be changed every six months, not two years.
The water lines may still be frozen even though you turned the unit off, but most likely you are not getting water flow due to a clogged filter. Change it.

you can check the fill tube in the freezer make sure it is not blocked with frozen water. if you can disconnec the water supply line from the fill tube try and reset the ice maker to advance it to a new cycle and if water come out of the supply line the you knwo there is a blockage if no water comes out the the ice maker may be bad or the fill valve is bad. last thing you may need to call a service tech out to find the problem.good luck i hope that this has helped some what.i would like to knwo how thing go for you

Post your model number for filter help. The water supply hook to the water inlet valve on the back, Usually near the bottom. It has a fitting where the incoming water will fit. You may have to remove part of the cardboard on the back to get to it.

I think you are referring to the water filter alarm. When it first starts coming in, you only notice it when you blink. As time passes, the color becomes more pronounced....If this is right, we'll move on from here, if not, please re-post, and please don't mention the village idiot (me).
The alarm can come on if a high differential pressure is sensed across the filter, or it can come on at pre-programmed times. If the fridge is relatively new, and the quality of the water is good, you can reset the alarm. On my model, I hold down the "ice type" and "child lock" buttons for about 5 seconds. The actual filter is located in the fridge, on the upper right hand side. These filters are somewhat expensive. I say that to say this....You can extend the life of your filter by installing an in-line filter between the wall water valve and the back of the fridge. This will act as a pre-filter for the Samsung filter. They cost usually about a quarter of the cost of the Samsung filters, and are easily replaced. Should you decide to replace your filter, Ebay is a very good source at a less than retail price.

Replace the off/on cold control thermostat.

Ice cubes freeze from the outside, so the center of the cube is the last to freeze. Ice is pure water, only H 2 O, so as the ice cube freezes, all of the dissolved minerals are pushed to the center. Near the end of the freezing, there isn't much water left in the center of the cube, so these minerals become very concentrated, and they form the "white stuff" – the technical name is precipitate. The hardness minerals that cause the "white stuff" are not toxic.

the thermostat in the ice machine is not working. its most likely tha the icemaker is a FSP whirlpool it's a lot surer to just replace the hole head and be done with it unless you'd like keep dealing with it.

the water should go thru the filter first then to everything else.

hi there,

you have 2 problems:

frist check the freezer thermostat and make sure that it's set to at least 5 or 6. if that is okay and you still have this problem, you may need to have the thermostat replaced and maybe more.

as far as the icemaker, if it's just the ice part that does not work, i would recommend checking the valve and water line coming into the icemaker.

can you tell me if this is a side by side or a top or bottom mount freezer? if you have the model #, that would be great.
