For Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Filter (Part Number: OEM17950698)

Neil for Model Number ED5GVEXVD02

I bought 2 EDR3RX01 filters. I put one in no problem about 3 months ago. It went through the amount, light turned red, went to replace it with the second one I bought. Took the first out, put the second in. Seemed like it goes in and locks, but not set right. No pressure. If I push the filter in farther manually, it works, but release and no pressure. I took it out and locked the first filter in, works just fine still. I replaced the second filter with a new one, same problem. Put the first filter back in for now, locked and working fine. They all look the same, nothing seems different. What is going on?

Neil,
If the old filter works fine with no leaks when reinstalled then there is a problem with the replacement filter. A little tip, just because the light comes on to replace the filter doesn't mean that the filter is bad, it is only a suggestion to replace. There is nothing reading the water purity and you can save a little money doing this and replacing when your water starts to taste different. It will have a light charcoal taste when you need to replace it.

Mike,
Remove and replace the filter once again to see if the leaking stops. If not try putting the old filter back in and see if it leaks. A seal could be bad internally in the housing and possibly need to be replaced. WPW10121138

Earline,
The reason for ice build up is air leaking into the freezer door. The moisture in the air turns to ice when entering a frozen environment. As long as the tabs for the ice door are not broken off then you can use this kit W10823377. If tabs are broken and the assembly can be moved left to right and not sealing because of this then you will need to order 8201756. There are videos on our web page under both part numbers to help with the repair.

Janice,

Open the ice door on the dispenser and look up in there to see if there is ice caught in the chute. If there is then this is what is causing the ice bin to not come loose easily. Also try taking a hair dryer and blowing under the ice bin, do not leave for too long as this could cause the liner to melt but this may help with removing the bin.

Hello Liza,
This WP2260518B is just a decorator piece. The filter can be removed by removing the kickpanel and turning the filter. If you need to you can grasp the old filter with a large pair of pliers to get it to turn. Do not use pliers on the new filter since this could cause a leak.

Hello Scott,
If the filter head is operating properly, the water will not need to be turned off during the filter replacement.
