Hello Tammy. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water filter base 240396002 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit.

Tim, you'll need to remove the filter and replace the cap to bypass the filter. Thanks.

Michael, The refrigerator dispensing water but not ice could be caused by a clogged filter that is not allowing enough water to flow through. What this would cause is a possible clogged fill tube with ice. You will want to pull the icemaker out and check the fill tube to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen. If frozen clear the fill tube. If the filter has not been changed after 6 months of use then it is a good idea to replace the filter. If the filter is good and the fill tube is frozen then the issue would be caused by a seeping water valve and the valve would need to be replaced. If the fill tube is not frozen and the unit is not getting water to the icemaker then you can test the water valve to make sure that the valve is getting power when it calls for water. If not then the icemaker would be the issue and if it does then replace the valve.

Gregg for Model Number fghb2844Lf5

Bought this Frigidaire Gallery in 2011. Ice maker and water quit working 7 different times in which we had a service tech out each time replacing parts each time trying to get to work. Now our problem is because of all the new parts put in, we cannot find a filter that works. ( contacted fridgidaire, american appliance and several other places to get the right filter, everyone tells us the same thing, this is the filter you need, which none work. they fit in the slot, but will not click in) we have no idea what to do at this point, since they obviously do not make a filter for our fridge. At this point we are thinking of just bypassing the filter, we have had no water or ice for over a year now.

Hello Greg. Either the filter head needs to be bypassed or the water filter head 242009604 will need to be replaced. This is the reason the filters will not snap into place on the unit.
