For Whirlpool Water Filter Head (Part Number: OEM18030015)

1 Answer

JFD,

You will want to put the icemaker into a cycle by jumping out the terminals T and H on the icemaker module. Then using a voltmeter check from terminal V to N. This is the water valve circuit of the icemaker. Test to see if there is 120 vac at this point when the icemaker fingers get to about the 11:30 position. If there is power there then go to the water valve and do the same jumper to cycle the icemaker and see if voltage gets to the water valve. If there is power at the water valve but will not put water into the unit then the issue will be the water valve. If the icemaker is not sending power to the water valve then the icemaker would need to be replaced. There are separate solenoids for the ice and water and this is why it needs to be tested.

Maria for Model Number MSD2454GR*

Hi, the filter in our refrigerator needed to be changed, when removed it to change it the water came out like a faucet, flooded the fridge. I was able to put the filter back on, but now it leaks, turned the water off. Tried to look, but the top assembly with the temperature control, lights is covering it. Will need to know if how to get to it, and if you think it is the filter housing (some kind of valve that is broken, that is suppose to hold the water). In the past I just unscrew the filter and put the new one, a few drops and it was done. Thank you for your help,

Hello Maria. Yes, you will need to replace the filter head. Disconnect the unit from the power
source. Open the fresh food door and remove
any loose items on the top shelf. Remove light shield by pulling down on the back corners of the cover and sliding forward. Remove the control housing mounting screw at the back of the control housing. Slide the control housing to the right and lower from control housing supports. Disconnect the temperature control
housing electrical quick disconnect. Remove the temperature control housing from the refrigerator. Now you can remove the water filter head from the unit.
