Whirlpool EDR3RXD1 Refrigerator Water Filter OEM Part

I watched the Appliance Parts Pros repair video and decided to remove the front panel to diagnose the problem. While the repair video is excellent, I could not remove the ice/water dispenser front panel with a putty knife. On my model, 106.56234400, there is no clip that can be released by sliding a putty knife up under the front panel. It took a little effort but I was able to pop the left lower corner clip just by pulling it out with my fingers. Once the cover was off I could see that the putty knife had been sliding up under the dispenser frame and not applying any pressure to the bottom edge of the panel (the edge on the front panel is only about an eighth of an inch thick). The front panel on my model has two small slots on the bottom edge of the panel. I found that by inserting a large flat tip screwdriver up into those slots and prying gently outward, the clips popped out fairly easily. Too much pressure will put a dent in the thin metal door, so just enough to pop the clip. I took a couple of pictures to share but, unfortunately, that isn't an option here. Once the panel was off, I could see that the plastic clips holding the water dispenser switch in place had broken off. The clips, after years of use and thousands of switch actuation, must have failed due to becoming brittle and fatigued. The switch was fine but it was so loose in the bracket that it wasn't being actuated by the lever. Looking at the switch bracket on the ice dispenser side, I discovered that one of those clips was also broken. I ordered Bracket, Part Number AP6005965 and it arrived in less than 48 hours (express shipping). The old and the new brackets were identical, but the wiring on my model varied slightly from the model shown in the video. It only took a minute to sort that out and then the bracket installed exactly as described. Everything snapped and clipped back into place as shown in the video. The job couldn't have been any easier. My thanks to Appliance Parts Pros for their excellent videos, quality parts, reasonable prices, and fast shipping.

Replace water filter

Replaced

This site sent the right part, very quick ship and the filter went in easily. I will order from this site again.

I called my warranty company and they sent over a tech from Sears. Diagnosed the issue as a faulty Water Inlet Valve and possibly a Filter Housing issue. So they wanted over $500 to replace just the valve - which the warranty company denied anyway, stating that the valve isn't covered (hmm, I intend on fighting this). So I took to the internet and found a video guide here on how to replace the valve. It seemed pretty easy enough, and being an avid DIY guy, I decided to order the part and give it a shot myself. Long story short and about $300 savings later, I've replaced the faulty valve and my refrigerator is running fine again. The instructions that came in the box were straight-to-the-point and very easy to follow.
