How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6005603 / WP12956202 Water Tank Assembly

Replaced the water filter, but that didn't work. From researching online thought it might be the water filter head. The part ordered includes the water filter head as well as the water reservoir. Part received with no instructions. Had to remove all refrigerator internal shelves to get to panel at back of refrigerator. Removed water filter cover, and two panels at back of interior of refrigerator. Also had to unfasten water supply behind refrigerator. Once all this was done, was able to remove the old water filter head and reservoir. Also had to disconnect one hose from the water filter head to a valve that I was not replacing. Connected new part using reverse procedure. This has completely corrected the issue of low water flow from the water dispenser. 

This problem only occurred after installing a new filter, it worked fine with the old filter. Read similar stories on line, checked that the solenoid valves were getting power and decided it was the filter head. Filter head and tank all come together. Replacement took about 1 hour. Remove the shelves on the right, pop off the covers on the back with a screw driver in the latch slots. Disconnect water line to valves, disconnect supply line in back. Tank, line and head are easily removed. I was worried that snaking the supply line back into the rear would be an issue but Maytag did a good job of providing a nice channel for this to be pushed through. 

It hade a blockage in the water tank head assembly, I ordered both , the water head assembly and the daul water valve . Was going to return water valve but could not figure ot how to get it off without damaging the plastic seats so I replaced both. It was no problem to do and took me all of about 45 minutes, and that included emptying the fridge. This site is a big help, you can ask questions and I shoped around for the parts and they had the best price, but the best thing more than price is they will let you return any part so for me that is good. Thanks Appliance Parts Pros I have many rentals and I will not go anywhere else 

Replace the water tank/filter head assembly. Filter head went bad after I bought a cheaper water filter online. Not sure if the cheap filter was the cause, but I replaced the filter with the Maytag filter after replacing the filter head. 

20-30min to replace, have to remove all shelves on the inside to perform repair. Did the trick I can fill a cup in seconds. So happy to have my water dispenser back. 

My son made the repairs. Our refrigerator was making a loud and ugly sound when activating the water dispenser. We tried changing the water filter, thinking that was the problem, but that only made it worse. My son figured out the head assembly was the problem. While he was at it, he also replaced the water control valve. He believes hard water caused the head assembly to start malfunctioning. It did not take him long to finish the repair. Part arrived within a couple of days from placing the order. Thank you! 

Ordered what I thought to be the right part then after more looking online I figured out that I was wrong. Called the customer service line told them my problem. Together we figured out the correct part and reordered. She then sent me a return shipping label to return the wrong part which I didn't even receive yet. The new correct part was delivered just a couple days after the wrong part got here which I already returned. I installed it in about 15 minutes and we now have ice and water at the refrigerator door after about 2 years. 

Had a problem determining which part I needed. Spoke with Tiffany and she was very helpful picking the right part. Ordered the part online and had it in my hands two days later. Noticed on their website that someone else had a similar problem and the company had shown directions on how to repair the problem. I have a little bit of mechanical know-how and a couple of tools, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Took some photos as I disassembled just in case I had a problem remembering where things went. Repair was fairly simple and took about an hour. Would definitely order from Appliance Parts Pros again. 

Replaced the valve and water tank/head assembly. Not 100% sure i needed to replace both, but both were still cheaper than paying someone to come fix my fridge!! And it worked perfectly. Entire project took less than 45 minutes. Valve was simple to replace, and water tank/head assembly, while a little tricky to get out was also simple to install. Water dispenser and ice maker working perfectly now, so a very worthwhile project. 

I came to Appliance Parts Pros to look for the parts schematic and see if the filter connector was available. There I saw discussion by others with the same problem and found I needed to replace the water tank/head assembly. Part was on my doorstep within two days. Removal was pretty easy, only needed a screwdriver to remove the tank cover and wrenches to disconnect the water supply hose. I originally tried to put the tank in backwards, but soon realized the cover would not fit, duh! Reassembly was also quite straightforward. The most time was spent cleaning the inside of the refrigerator as I put it all back together, a job unfortunately long overdue ;(
