Even a new filter will reduce the flow some what. I think the pressure to the filter is low or restricted . that will cause a reduction in flow, no it should not leak, check on the seal.
I understand that the puresource3 water filter is leaking in your Frigidaire refrigerator. Please make sure that it is the filter leaking. Check for cracks in the filter. If the filter itself is not leaking, it might be something in the filter housing that is leaking. If this is the case, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose and determine what exactly is causing the leak. Hope this is helpful.
Water filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the fresh food side.
Follow these steps:
These eight inch long filters are housed in their own compartment.
The base of the compartment can be released by pushing in on the release
clip found at the end of the housing unit. Allow the base of the
housing compartment to hang down while you remove and replace your
filter.
Twist the spent filter to the left (counter-clockwise) and gently
pull on it to remove it. There is an automatic water shut off to keep
leaks and spills to a minimum.
Remove the new filter from its packaging. Remove the plastic wrap,
and peel off the aluminum topping. Insert the new filter into the
housing unit. Twist the filter to the right (clockwise) until it clicks
into place. Replace the base of the filter housing by cliping it back in
place.
Condition the filter by dispensing several glasses of water through
your refrigerator. This ensures that all fine carbon particles have been
removed.
Check the filter and the inside of the refrigerator for leaks. If you find a leak, remove and install the filter again.
Hi,
How old is the filter and are you using the correct filter? After markets don't seal well, and an old filter can leak.
You can remove the filter and use the dispenser to determine if just the filter is the issue, the housing has a by-pass system and works without a filter in it, just would filter water without a filter.
Give that a try, let me know if you need more help.
Can I Use the Water Dispenser Without a Water Filter?
The water and ice dispensers will work without an AquaPure water filter installed.
The water filter housings are designed as rotary valves that allow the water
to bypass the water filter whenever there is no filter or the filter is not
in the lock position.
Models designed for use with the AquaPure water filter are shipped
with a cap in place to cover the opening and keep it free of debris prior to
the installation of the water filter. It is not necessary to have this
cap in place for the unit to bypass the water nor is it intended to plug the
housing to prevent leaks. Note: This does not apply to the Quatro Convertible models. The filter
must be installed on this model.
Hello Welcome to fixya. I'm Huuum and happy to assist you,
You said, Water is dripping from filter housing, only leaks when filter in!You have two choices. 1. You can have service repair or replace the filter seal in the filter seat. 2. Or you can operate it with out a filter with no ill effect! that's okay to operate it without!
Please remember to leave a rating before you go! Thank you
The effort it would take to eliminate filter would be too much. Just leave filter in place. If new house filter is working right you should never have to replace fridge filter and your water will be double-filtered :)
