Elaine I have a Frigidare three-door fridge hooked up to an RO system. Recently the fridge stopped making ice and the water dispenser flow became a trickle. I changed the filters on the RO unit and for literally about 20 seconds I had spectacular flow from the dispenser--then air in the line and then a trickle again. I replaced the fridge water filter with a plug in the hopes of bypassing that filter and relying only on the RO water--now I have no flow at all. I ordered the correct filter plug and have it installed correctly--but nothing. Any suggestions??
Answer Elaine, The most likely problem is the filter base 240396002 was damaged sometime during the removal of the filter and installation of the bypass filter. The internal mechanism is most likely not allowing the water to flow through the filter base and into the water system of the refrigerator. When you attach a refrigerator water/dispenser system to a RO filter system, in most cases you will have to remove the water filter and install a bypass plug. The fluctuating water pressure, especially during the reversal process of the filter system wreaks havoc on the water system in the refrigerator. Read More...
