Jack March 12, 2021 for Model Number KRFC400ESS01 Water dispenses very slowly even after installing a new OEM filter. Replaced the water inlet valve but that didn't solve the problem. Can the problem be the water filter head and, if so, can you replace it without having to replace the water tank assembly?
1 Answer Jack, if there is not a frozen line or tank, the failure would be in the filter head (only available as part of the reservoir assembly W11346622). Read More...
Brian D. December 30, 2020 for Model Number MFI2569VEM1 I really like your web site, lots of info. for the DIY person. My refrig. water dispenser has flow for a few seconds and then slows to a trickle, also the ice maker is not getting enough water as the ice cubes are very small. I can hear the solenoid valve buzzing so seem like that is working. From reading the other questions it seems like it is likely there is a problem with the filter head connector. is there a way to flush this portion of the system? what usually goes wrong with the filter head? I no longer have the filter bypass cap since this refrig. came with my house. when the filter is removed there seems to be no way to get water to flow. (I have well water with a water softener, so I thought maybe I just need to flush the system.)
1 Answer Brian, This issue will be with the filter head assembly and it will need to be replaced. There are plungers that are not making which will cause water to not flow properly and the only way to correct this issue will be to replace the filter head assembly. Read More...
Dave April 25, 2020 for Model Number MFI2568AES When I remove the water filter to replace it, water sprays all over the place until I get the new filter in. Once a filter is in place, there doesn't seem to be any other issues. What would likely be the fix for this ? Thanks!!
1 Answer Dave, This issue will be caused by a faulty filter head which will require the water tank and filter head assembly WP12956202 to be replaced. Read More...
Jimmy March 09, 2020 for Model Number mfi256vea1 Came home to find water running out of dispenser into box and out of unit onto floor. Turned off water supply to stop. I'm afraid to use now, however, when home have tried to turn supply on while monitoring and unit performs normally. Suggestions on cause and repair.

Tyler Haggard September 01, 2018 I have a Maytag MFI2266AES and pretty sure the water filter tank assembly is bad. Loud noise and low flow from water dispenser. My only concern is when i cross check the model number, there is "10" at the end in the drop down and my model number on the inside of the fridge is MFI2266AES. Please advise if part number 12956202 is the correct part. Thanks.
Jon January 11, 2018 for Model Number kfis25xvms2 What is the OD of the plastic tube (the yellowish one) that comes from the wide tank tubes and then goes into the assembly head. Mine is clogged with debris from a broken filter (not from my refrigerator, from a whole home filter that split open), and I would like to clear it out. I'm wondering if I can cut this line open, and then buy some fittings and secure the line again. If it's a standard size like 3/8" or 1/4" that would be perfect. Thanks!
1 Answer Jon, This tube that is coming off the water tank would be a 5/16" o.d. tube. You could use connector WR02X11330 to cut and splice the tubing. Read More...
Joseph Huisman November 05, 2017 for Model Number MFI2568AES My water is coming out extremely slow and the water sprays out when I remove the filter. I am assuming the tank head needs to be replaced but when I put the bypass plug in, pressure is great. I have tried replacing the filter twice and does not change. Could this be the tank head even though the pressure is fine with the bypass plug? Also, could this low pressure be a reason that the ice maker would stop getting water? Or would that be an indication that I need to replace the dual valve as well. Please advise which parts you think I need. Thanks, Joe
1 Answer Joseph, Yes the water pressure issue could be causing the icemaker to not get water and would most likely be the filter head that is faulty with the unit. Read More...
Alex October 04, 2017 for Model Number JFI2589AES3 I am trying to replace the water tank head assembly. I have accessed the rear refrigerator liner and I can see the water tank and associated hoses. I am having trouble getting the water tank off of the 2 posts or clips that are supporting the tank and holding it to another mounting type panel. How do I get the water tank off of the 2 posts without breaking any other mounting clips or the water tank itself? All of this plastic seems very sensitive and it is difficult to pull the tank of these 2 posts or clips. Also, what is best method for installing new tank? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Alex. WATER TANK 1. Turn water off to unit. 2. Disconnect water line that supplies water tank from water supply. 3. Remove crispers and shelves from right side of fresh food compartment. 4. Remove covers on back bulkhead by inserting screwdriver in slots to release tabs. 5. Disconnect water line from outlet of tank to inlet of water valve by holding tubing collar stationary and pulling water tube out of valve. 6. Remove water tank and tubing. 7. Reverse procedure to reassemble. Read More...

Chuck May 06, 2017 for Model Number AFI2835AEB Started experiencing a very loud noise/vibration when dispensing water. Thought it was water inlet valve. Replaced. Same problem. If I remove filter and install the bypass plug, there is no noise and water flow is very strong. Does that sound like a water tank/fliter head assemby issue ?
1 Answer Chuck, Based on the information it will be a faulty filter head/water tank assembly WP12956202. Read More...
