How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6006882 / WP2260518B Water Filter Cap

I pulled the refrigerator out, removed the back panel, disconnected the fan motor. I did not know how hard or easy it would be to remove the fan from the motor shaft so I removed the motor with the fan attached and then removed and replaced the fan. This would not be necessary if you have a lot of strength, but if you need leverage to push the fan down on the shaft you might want to disconnect and remove the motor fan assembly too. After replacing the motor assembly and reconnecting I tested by plugging in momentarily and then replaced the back and pushed the refrigerator back. (This is also a good time to clean the coils underneath, vacuum out the dust, and clean behind the refrigerator) 

I order a new cap and was able to change the filter with no problem. 

Ordered the part, removed the old drawer and installed the new one. Also installed the new water filter and cap. 

Through your website and YouTube DIY’s I was able to find the parts for my specific refrigerator and fix it, the wife had been after me for over a year to fix it and did not. I was ready to buy a new refrigerator but decided to try and fix it myself you guys rock ! 

Normally a tool is not required but due to the cap damage I needed to use a screwdriver and now that the cap is replaced a tool will not be necessary for my next filter replacement. 

I fixed it after looking at your how to video. Without it, I would not have been able to fix it 

Everything was fixed perfectly 

Ordered cap from your store. 

Checked various items and could not find a direct cause. Replaced water valve which fixed problem and started making ice again. This is the 2nd water valve I've replaced in 16 years in same fridge. Thank you 

New cap and extra filter if needed
