How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP7220294 / WR02X45206 Mwf Manifold

Our water dispenser stopped working. I had previously fixed this about two years ago by replacing the MWF Manifold, WR17X22074; the Cold Water Reservoir, WR17X11324; and the Union Connector, WR02X11330. Those repairs went well with the videos Appliance Parts Pros provides. Unfortunately, after replacing the manifold this time, the issue remains. After talking with an APP specialist on the phone, I decided to order the Ice Dispenser Solenoid, WR62X10055. The item has shipped, has left Indianapolis for Tennessee and is currently in Wyoming, yes Wyoming about 2,000 miles out of the way. Hoping the return from Wyoming is as quick. In any event what I learned from the telephone discussion is the water line and the Ice Maker Refill split (I see and recognize the two lines on the back of the refrigerator now). That is why we still have Ice Production, but do not have water dispensing. We checked the tube after the Union Connector. To check this: Refrigerator plugged in and on; Water Line On; Disconnect the Union Connector (press in with an open end wrench to release the tube). Put a container to catch water from the tube (on the front of the refrigerator by the freezer side). Hit the dispenser and see if water comes out. If it does, then the everything works to that point. If the Solenoid replacement does not work, the the issue is in the freezer door and not repairable. To fix the tubing in the freezer door is not possible, you would need a new door. A new door is over $900, is a special order, is on back order in August 2021, and really not worth it for an 18 year old refrigerator. I am optimistic the Solenoid replacement will resolve the issue. Also, if a part has been replaced within the last two years, that is probably not the problem. Hope my incorrect diagnostic experience helps someone avoid a similar situation. 

Narrowed problem to incoming water valve or filter head assembly. Noise was emanating from filter head assembly so I started there. Advice from appliance parts pros site certainly helped with the troubleshooting. Also ordered the Ice door flap as that's been a recurring (but easy and cheap) problem with my GE. Parts came in 2 days and the video helped nail down the job quickly! Thanks again APP!! You've probably saved me $500 over 3 repairs on this fridge and kept me from buying a new one! 

Based on the noise the unit made, which seemed to be inside the refrigerator, I replaced the filter head and tube assembly. The swap was simple with a few hand tools. Great success! 

Replaced the water filter Hose and Tube Assembly. Repair was quick and easy just as shown in the video and now the new filter works, water flow is much improved, and ice cubes are bigger. Only thing that I could add is I first removed the hose connectors and drained the water but once I removed the old filter more water came from the hose that I wasn't prepared for. So only issue was additional water cleanup off the floor. Thank you for informing me and showing me how to fix the water flow that has been a problem for a couple of years. 

Replaced water valve inside refrigerator where the water filter attaches. Ge profile refrigerator. 

Replaced the housing the water filter screws into. Water works fine now. 

Searched on line for a fix and narrowed it down to two possible components. Not knowing which it might be, I ordered both. I thought the prices were very reasonable and didn't want to revisit this problem. Parts arrived within 2 days. And after watching the videos, both parts went in place quickly and without a hitch. I will definitely be using AppliancePartsPros again. The hardest part was just cleaning the floor after pulling the unit away from the wall. 

I have an older (Purchased in 2014) model GE Side by Side Refrigerator (Model # GSE26HME). After my supply of the older MWF Filters ran out, I ordered more and they didn’t fit any more. I called GE Customer Service and found out that they changed the filters. The new ones have a slightly different size hole and are called MWFP even though they still say MWF on the box. They insisted the new ones will still fit my refrigerator. They don’t. After a 3rd call to GE Customer Service they told me I needed an adapter. I ordered one on the phone. The adapter came and it didn’t fit either (both the adapter and the refrigerator had “male connections”). The 4th time I called GE they transferred me to a 3rd party tech who told me I needed a Manifold Kit that converts the refrigerator from the old filters to the new filters and gave me the names of several websites that sell them. I ordered the MWF Manifold Kit from AppliancePartsPros.com. The part number is WR17X22074. The website had a link to a Youtube video that showed how to install it. I ordered the Manifold Kit on-line. It cost me $55.00 plus tax and shipping. The installation wasn’t quite as easy as it looked on the video. Feeding the insulated tubing through the back of the refrigerator was quite a chore and screwing the manifold in place was difficult because it was a very tight space (a magnetic nut driver would have helped). Bottom line is that the Manifold Kit worked and my refrigerator now works with the new filters! 

Home Depot suggested I first replace the filter with a GE branded filter and I thought that fixed it, but after a day or so, it quit giving anything but a dribble and the plastic water lines were flapping on the back of the unit where it comes out of the filter head. So, I ordered the filter head from AppliancePartsPros.com, and that ended up being the problem. Thanks for the video that I watched in its entirety before I even started {video was very helpful} and I made sure I had the recommended tools before even starting, and it went very smoothly. Thanks so much! 

After replacing my filter, I noticed water dripping from the water housing/mount. This caused water to come out slowly from dispenser even after filter change. I thought my new filter was bad and switched it out. Same result. So I went online and looked to see if I could replace the water housing. Sure enough I found appliance pros and it was in stock. Replaced the housing in 10 minutes and now I have correct pressure from the water dispenser.
