How to Troubleshoot & Replace Samsung AP4341432 / DA97-06317A Refrigerator Water Filter Housing Assembly

Fortunately I was home and heard the water shooting out of the pinhole leak and was quickly able to turn off the supply valve. Probably less than 5 gallons leaked so it was a relatively minor issue with no damage to my home or belongings. The fridge is about 15 years old and initially, I expected I'd be facing a more significant problem. Once I isolated the leak to the external supply line I went online and found the part number for the water filter housing and tube assembly. I ordered the part and it arrived within a week. It was an easy job to unscrew the fasteners holding the lines to the back of the fridge, remove the lower rear cover on the fridge to disconnect the line to the ice maker / water dispenser, unfasten the water filter housing from inside the fridge, and pull the tubes out through the inside of the fridge. I reversed everything, fishing the tubes from inside the fridge out the back, connected the tubes (using the brass connectors that came with the fridge), reattaching all the fasteners and turning the water back on. I saved a lot of money compared to hiring a repair company or buying a new fridge. 

It was very easy to replace the Water Filter Housing and Tube Assembly. 

I could not recover the water filter housing so it would accept the Aqua-Pure filter. I used an off brand filter previously and it put the internals "Out of Time" so it wouldn't accept the right filter. I had to purchase a new Water filter Housing and install it. The installation was simple and straight forward. Turn the water off. Remove the top shelf. Remove the Water filter Housing Cover by gently pulling it towards you.Remove the old water filter. Remove the two phillips head screws. You will see 2 small red locks on the water lines, remove them by just pulling them off the lines. Push the GREY line lock in which will release the water lines. Push the water lines into the housing to the black mark on the lines, install the RED line locks by pushing them onto the line under the grey flange. Reinstall the white plastic mount cover and the two phillips head screws. install the Water Filter Housing cover by pushing it onto the housing. Install the Aqua-Pure filter, turn the water on and check for leaks. Follow flushing instructions on the Filter and NEVER use a "Bargain" filter again. 

Bought your new Samsung housing. Trimmed the tubing back a little for improved tubing management to fit the model of my refrigerator. Reminder you will need new tube fittings if compressions used originally. I went back with PUSH ON tube fittings. 

I started trying to find exactly what was leaking and was I going to be able to fix it myself. I found a video on YouTube and it was easy! Found it on your website, which I’ve already used previously for the same refrigerator (2010 model), and ordered the part! Pulled my refrigerator out and followed video. Just a couple of screws removed and it’s working perfectly! 

I love this site, I’ve repaired my dryer and my refrigerator. I’ve saved hundreds on repair costs! The refrigerator drinking water line had a tiny leak. Very easy repair went smoothly. 

Replaced the housing, 

Replaced water filter housing assy. Video directions were excellent and only took about 20 minutes. Dispenser running better but not great. May need to troubleshoot more but giving it some time to see if it clears up. Very satisfied with price and help at AppliancePartsPros.com. 

Well, we first thought it might be the water inlet valve so we bought that and changed it out but that didn’t help at all. We had tried different water filters and they weren’t going in right. So we ended up finally finding one that went in, but the water flow was still very slow, so then we ended up changing out the Water filter housing assembly, part number AP4341432, and your website has a great video on how to make sure you put it in right. After we followed the easy steps and changed it out, the water is coming out really fast and strong now finally!!! 

Eight months before I had a repair person come and fix a leaking water line the first time. I saw when fixing it myself that he just spliced in a section that was leaking. Eight months later it’s leaking again. I call them again only to be told they can’t get the part. So I a “female” take the invoice and looked up the part and low and behold I found you and your video on how to install it. Perfect! I went to work and got it fixed. I called the company and told them I fixed it myself and that I got an original part and they gave me my money back. Thank you AppliancePartsPros.com You really bailed me out of this one.
