    I can't thank you enough! Your suggestion solved my problem with the filtered water outflow on our KitchenAid Model UKF8001-200. All the flexible washers I had on hand were too thick, so I cut one out of a flexible sour cream lid. I was skeptical, but your suggestion did the trick - can't believe how much volume had been restored. Thanks again ~

    I had a feeling there was a problem with the water filter housing, but this just saved me $82 on a new housing. And the $200 that was about to be spent to the repair guy in 3 days. Thanks 🙏.

    I have a similar issue and will give this a try. One exception is that after I click dispenser to get water and move the cup away, the water continues to flow for a second or two, rather than just turning off. Any ideas on why this might be?

    The water comes out of those 2 white nubs to enter the filter. I wonder if you are just blocking the filter which makes water flow increase. I just made the hole in the center a few drill bits bigger and it increased the flow.

    • @HowToDoitright
      @HowToDoitright  4 месяца назад

      No it’s not blocking the filter. It’s only pushing the pins that open the water flow. The pins are there to block water when filter is removed otherwise water will keep flowing. When filter is in it pushes the pin and let the water to enter filter and then return so if the pins are not fully pressed it will allow slow water enter to filter making water flow slow. That’s why adding washer increases the flow

    • @davidweiss2857

      Check the inlet valve on the back of the refrigerator that's usually the culprit easy to fix and not expensive

    I used a hose washer, is that not correct anyone? I did not see a huge differecne if at all, I think my Whirlpool is just slower, but looks the exact same as the video. Maybe I should try a neoprene washer or something else? Thanks for the tip!!!

    • @HowToDoitright
      @HowToDoitright  Месяц назад

      It’s there to depress the small pin that overtime is not depressed, causing the slow water flow. By adding the washer, it helps press that pin further so the water flow becomes better.

      Standard size washer. You can buy a few and try out but I literally grabbed it from my pile of spare washers lying around and it fit fine.

    My filter placement doesn’t have those white pins. Any ideas?

    • @HowToDoitright
      @HowToDoitright  22 дня назад

      Then it’s your pump behind the fridge. Check other videos in description how to change that pump.

    • @faisalsweidan
      @faisalsweidan 21 день назад

      I replaced the filter with a bypass plug and there was a significant difference in the water pressure. I change my filter (I get the manufacturer OEM filter) every 5-6 months and the pressure is always the same. I’ll check on the pump to see on what I can do.

  • @puneetbhatia2326
    @puneetbhatia2326 2 года назад +4

    I would not recommend messing with filter contacts that could possibly create flooding in your kitchen. Low pressure, if filter is fine is usually caused by bad water valve at the back of the fridge where it incoming water line is connected. It’s about a $50-$70 part and takes 15 minutes to change.

    • @HowToDoitright
      @HowToDoitright  2 года назад +5

      Na to t does not cause any flooding. Been doing these for years and not a single issue.
