Installation of new water filter for model # ED2FH

The Whirlpool WRB322DMBM01 refrigerator model typically does not have a dedicated water filter for the ice maker. Instead, it relies on an external water filtration system or an in-line water filter that may be installed in the water supply line connected to the refrigerator.

Here's how you can check for and change the water filter for your ice maker:

1. **Locate the Water Supply Line**: Trace the water supply line that connects to the back of your refrigerator. The water supply line is usually a flexible plastic or metal tube that runs from the water source (such as a water pipe or faucet) to the refrigerator.

2. **Check for an In-Line Water Filter**: Look along the length of the water supply line for any inline water filters. These filters may be attached to the water line using compression fittings or push-to-connect fittings. They are typically cylindrical or rectangular in shape.

3. **Inspect the Filter**: If you find an in-line water filter, inspect it to determine its type and condition. Some filters have a label indicating the brand and model number, while others may have a date or indicator showing when it was last replaced.

4. **Replace the Filter (if Necessary)**: If the water filter is due for replacement or is visibly dirty or clogged, follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacing it. This typically involves turning off the water supply, disconnecting the filter from the water line, and installing a new filter in its place.

5. **Flush the System**: After installing the new filter, flush the water system to remove any air or debris. Run water through the dispenser or activate the ice maker to purge the system of any trapped air or loose particles.

6. **Monitor Performance**: Monitor the performance of your ice maker and water dispenser to ensure that the new filter is functioning correctly. It may take a few cycles for the water system to fully adjust to the new filter.

If you cannot find an in-line water filter connected to your refrigerator's water supply line, it's possible that your refrigerator does not have a built-in water filtration system for the ice maker. In this case, you may need to consider installing an external water filtration system to improve the quality of your ice and water.

Sounds like water hammer, has the water supply got it's own shut-off valve behind the fridge or in the basement ? Try shutting the valve then open it just a little. Perhaps the water supply was opened fully after installing the new filter.

Contact Whirlpool directly. Filters may be faulty however it is likely an installation problem. They may be able to walk you through the installation process to check everything is done right. If you're lucky and they decide the filters are faulty, you may get a new pair free!

Pull the new cartridge out and check it side by side with the new one. make sure they are identical or that there are no tabs to pull off before install.

Hi and welcome to FixYa. I am Kelly. If you just changed the filter you have to remember that new filter did not come pre-filled with water. It will take up to a day for it to fill with water. There is a possibility that the new filter if it is a latch type / turn and lock filter that it is not locked into place. There is also the possibility that the wrong filter was installed. Example a kick panel filter PN ends in 10 while there are other turn and lock filters used on other models that ends in 08. They are not interchangeable.

If you have a behind the unit "in line" filter... same story it can take the better part of a day to fill the filter. A normal ice maker water demand is 120 to 140 cc per cycle. (7.5 seconds of fill time with a tiny supply line)

If you need more help with filter verification we will need your make and model number along with the part number of the NEW filter you installed.

Thanks for choosing FixYa.

buttons simultaneously for four seconds. The
green filter status indicator light will flash

check filter again. clean area before installing. check water. check to make shure power is on.

I would suggest that you put the new water filter back in and try dispensing water for about ten minutes. If there is still a high pitched noise then you could try bleeding the water line at different points along the water circuit (with control over the incoming supply). The fact that you are forcing water through the tank should normally resolve any air locks. The water filter could also be bled of air. Hope this is of some help.
