Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Water Filter Head And Tube Assembly (Part Number: OEM18031194)

Stevo for Model Number 59677599803

I believe I am in need of a new water head assembly. The one needed according to the manufacturer is model 12590611. Unfortunately this is very often out of stock and is no longer being produced. I have looked at the pictures of Whirlpool part number 67004106 and it looks the same. I compared the pins that extend on each side and they look the same as the one on my fridge filter head. Would this work on my fridge? Can you tell me what the difference is between part number 12590611 and part 67004106? Getting a bit frustrated. Thanks.

1 Answer

Stevo, unfortunately, we would not be able to recommend an alternative to the filter head 12590611 as we would not be able to guarantee it would work properly.

David for Model Number JFc2089hes3

When dispensing water, the frig makes a hammering noise as the water flows. It started making this noise after we replaced the water filter. I was trying to replace the water filter head and tube assembly to address the problem. I was unable to find a compatible part in your system. (There appears to be a water filter head and tube assembly for a JFC2089HES but not one for my JFC2089HES3.) Am I pursuing the correct part for my problem? If not what part should I replace? If I am pursuing the correct part, do you have a compatible one?

Frederick, if the water filter EDR4RXD1 is clogged up, it can cause a low water volume to be produced from the dispenser. If the water filter is new, the water filter reservoir W10502642 would need to be inspected for any indication of freezing up. If it has not frozen up, then the most likely failure would be in the water valve WPW10312696 if the ice maker is producing properly sized cubes.

Daiana, When you replace the water filter, you have to be a little careful, and make sure you have the correct filter for your model number. Quite often, when replacing the filter, if the filter isn't inserted properly, is "forced" into the housing, etc. the internal bypass tabs can be damaged and will affect the flow of the water and make a hammering noise. You will need to replace the W10844267 / W10346257 Housing, Water Filter and make sure you have the correct filter EDR1RXD1 / W10217316 Filter, Water. Thanks,

Hi thank you for your response to my question earlier. Now I have another situation. I clicked out the filter one more time then put it in again. The refrigerator filter area make the cranking noise then stopped. Now the water is flowing fine out of the water dispenser with the filter in it. It has been working no problem for 4 or 5 days. Does that mean the filter is working? Would water be able to bypass the filter if it is installed and still come out of the water dispenser? Thank you for your help with this. We are looking to get a new filter housing as suggested. I just am wanting to know how water is now coming out.

1 Answer

Chanda, There are tabs or "fingers" inside the head assembly. If the filter is inserted incorrectly, if the fingers are bent or damaged the filter head mechanism will make noise. You may have activated the fingers when you re installed the filter. But, they will eventually fail again.

Ken, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty water filter head and tube assembly that has failed.
