Thank you so much! You solved my problem.
My issue was no water dispensing or very slowly and would make a loud noise...punching the filter cover a few times actually did the trick lol
Thank you so much. I just found your channel and subscribed ❤
Thanks for sharing, I tried changing my filter didn't work after watching your video it snap thanks again. It works
Thanks! releasing the water pressure released my stuck #4 Everydrop filter.
Same here. Turned off the water pipe, drained fridge water in a glass and then turned off power. Jiggled the filter a bit and it came right off. Didn’t want to break anything back there, things are pretty inaccessible too.
Thank you. 🙏🏽
@HandyHudsonite what if you changed the filter and water still tastes/smell funny and little things floating in it??
usually need to run 3-4 gallons through a new filter to remove loose carbon
I appreciate this. Though it doesn't cover the problem I have - unless I missed it - The door/cover stopped pulling the filter out. I removed the cover and i been looking for something to help put back together. I'm hoping it didn't include a spring - vaguely remember one - cuz i can't find. Please help...Thanks a bunch!
Thankyou for the video
HH, my issue had to do with the filter for my whirlpool WRS325FDAB refrigerator. The issue was that when the new filter was inserted the water dispenser/ice maker fill-up would not work. When it was removed, both worked good. One of your suggestions was to take the filter out, dispense about a gallon or so water into a vat until all the air was removed (or stuttering in flow). After that procedure, I reinserted the filter, closed the filter door and tried the water dispenser and that worked for me. Now, I get both the dispenser water/ice filling and the new filter is in to do its job. At first, I thought it might be the "filter housing" that needed changing out. Since the water was flowing without the filter, that to me, ruled out a bad inlet/constriction/freeup in the system, etc. Thanks, HH.
Depends on make and model. Yours is the Whirlpool WRS571CIHZOO or WRS571CIHZO1. FYI, the filter only goes in one way. Notice the upper and lower grooves?
My whirlpool model has the filter at the bottom in the freezer side. Every time I change my water filter, water comes pouring/spraying out until I get the new one in place. Any thoughts?
Like in my refrigerator the red warning indicator is on like in your video. The water seems to be coming out correctly and there are no leaks. Did it just disappear?
I have that fridge. The filter was stuck and I was able to get it out, but when I put the new one in, the plastic cover that folds down popped off and I'm having trouble getting it back on. Any tips?
Thank you for the video
Hi.i have bought in flyging tiger earbuds.just suddenly one of them didnt want to the tights earbuds its seems not conecting .do you think you hjelp me
Does the filter control the cooling of the refrigerator
I can't get the door closed on mine! It's lined up correctly and the O-rings look fine, but with much force it still won't snap shut.
I changed my filter and after I reset the filter and ran water through it I have a red symbol above my light button do you know what this is? 4:55 in your video it shows up on your control screen. Thanks
I have a question 🙋♀️ what if the water dispenser makes a noise. So I recently changed my filter, flushed it, it worked fine then the next day, it would make a loud noise every time I get water. Why do you think that it? And how do I fix it?
Thank you so much for your video that actually brought my attention to the "O" ring on the filter. That was my problem.
How do we install a bypass for this filter ? We already have a water softener and Reverse osmosis system and don't need a filter for the refrigerator.
The door on the filter came apart when my gf forced a filter in and forced the door closed. I took off the cover and there was an unattached arm above the filter. Can't figure our how to hook it back up
I have an Amana and the cover for the filter broke. I was using it gently. Mine is located below the freezer space. I think the temp made the plastic extra brittle. I have the filter jammed in (fortunately) but the cover is not physically locked in. Any suggestions. I found the part and it’s the entire housing for $135. I would buy it, remove the cover, and install that on mine. Any suggestions?
this is nearly identical to mine: ruclips.net/video/Tktbyuq4ITA/видео.html
My refrigerator was dispensing water doing ok then I checked the temperature and my refrigerator started beeping. I then reconfirmed filter change and it stopped dispensing ice and water. Ice maker is on filter is in good, but when I go to get water or ice it beeps. Helps🙏
I changed the filter and now it has a loud hammering sound. I put thr old filter back in and no issues. The filter is the Everydrop Number 1. I bought two new ones and they both do the same thing, loud hammering noise . Old number 1 works fine
See my comment above, I literally punched the filter cover straight on a few times until the water comes out and no noise.
After replacing the new water filter, the water doesn't dispense out. I am sure to place the correct position, which is the same as the old water filter. Also, I have already pressed to reset the light. The water still doesn't dispense out. Please give me any advices. Thank you
I had the same problem and fixed it!! It seems weird & counter-intuitive, but when you close the filter door, don’t press it all the way. For me, it only works when I barely close the door until the click. Any additional pressure causes the fridge to make noise and not dispense water. (When I put the old filter, same make and model, it works fine even if I press it hard)
I have a Whirlpool WRS325SDHZ01 model and I changed the filter and the water dispensed correctly but the ice maker is not receiving water to make ice. Do you think it’s air blockage in the line and if so how do I fix it?
It could be. Did you flush 4 gallons through your new filter?
I just replaced the filter and flushed 4 gallons and of water and next day it wont work. A few drops would come out and then it started making a loud noise. Could this be a bad filter?
The springs on mine came off. Where and how do I fix that?
I thought I had mine installed properly seem to be working but the water is coming out warm so I guess it’s not going through the filter. I have no idea but it’s been a frustrating day.
I used the correct filter and the system work fine but the ice maker stops making ice. water still flows fine. so I change the filter and the ice maker makes ice. The problem is the filter only lasts about one month, and the ice stops coming. what could be the problem?
I just recently changed the water filter on my whirlpool wrf560sehz. Ice does dispense but the water dispenser does not? It was able to dispense water after like filtering a few gallon of water but then it stop. Is it the air issue too? Please advise what I should do?
Did you resolve this issue and how did you go about it
I put the lock button because the kids kept trying to take the water out and now it doesn't dispense water or ice. What could that be?help
I need to replace the filter, but I can't open the water filter compartment door to replace it. I have opened it before, but won't open this time. Hope you can help me.
I'm now having the same issue
I have replaced the filter 5 times now in about 2 months... I am able to run the 4 gallons through the filter no issue, then a few days later the filter ceases, i also ensure to hold the reset button on the filter indicator and reset it. I have an Amana model AS1257GRS05, using a everydrop #1, i cant imagine i have the wrong filter since i used the previous filter to find the ones i purchased, unless the previous renters had installed the wrong filter lol... any suggestions?
I had the same problem and fixed it!! It seems weird & counter-intuitive, but when you close the filter door, don’t press it all the way. For me, it only works when I barely close the door until the click. Any additional pressure causes the fridge to make noise and not dispense water. (When I put the old filter, same make and model, it works fine even if I press it hard)
Why wont the door close when replacing the filter? It closes fine without the filter in. Followed instructions withe arrows.
I experienced the same door (as you at the bottom left under the freezer side) keeping cocked half-open. I oriented the direction properly using the arrows, then closed it with the filter, and put a little pressure behind it until it clicked shut and flush.
I can't get the door closed on mine either! It's lined up correctly, but with much force it still won't snap shut.
If I align it properly as the arrow says and snap/push it in with a little grit, it locks in and doesn't leak. However, the lever should be able to close without brut force. I'm wondering why not?
My Whirlpool (floor) filter door latch mechanism fell apart last time I changed filters. I could get a new filter in, but now can’t release the old one. I wish the manufacturer would have hired engineers to design these things.
Same thing happened to mine i took it apart and got it fixed luckily the little piece didnt break if you need more info on how to do it i can help
This is what happened to mine. Can’t get it out now
Any time I try to dispense water, the filter pops out. I've tried more than one different filter so it's not a damaged filter issue. I'm sure it is lined up properly when I put the filter(s) in and it still pops out. You mentioned high water pressure but no correction for that issue. Any other helpful tips or suggestions?
Are you sure the filter door is latching completely? Or it's not broken? Maybe there is something wrong with the o-rings on those filters. Also check to make sure there is nothing blocking inside where the filter plugs in.
After weeks trying to understand the “filter popping out” with the high water pressure, I just turned the valve behind the refrigerator to about half or 3/4 instead of opening it all the way and allowing the water to be pushed at max capacity. This stopped my filter from popping out - I appreciate you on this big time when I finally understood it today 🙏🏼
I have this exact fridge. I've yet to find a filter bypass for this model.
If you just take it out. It should bypass it
@@jsavoy1 Eventually I figured that out haha. Thanks.
My unit is leaking from behind the filter housing. Is there a way to take off the housing inorder to see what is causing the leak. It leaks water anytime the water dispenser is being used and the water leakes down the inside of the wall of the fridge. Any help would be appreciate it. Thanks
i have the same issue any updates?
Help mine is doing the same too
same problem, i have a lot of condensation in this area
I have an Amana fridge. It’s just poorly designed. None of the troubleshoots you suggest is working. I replaced the valve. Didn’t solve the issues. I replace the filter and for like 10 seconds it was working perfectly then it just dispense very, very slowly. Took out and put back the new filter several times. Reset the flitter button. Didn’t solve the issues. I looked at the lines. No air. Just water. The water pressure is fine going to the fridge. The new filter is acting like it’s a used filter. I spent too much money already trying to solve this annoying issue. I’m about to just get a new fridge. I think it’s the design of the filters is causing the water to not flow. When I install the filter, I can hear it when the water flow through it then just stops after I empty the filter of water. It’s a very hanky system.
Its your filter housing
Mine works well at first but then slows down the water flow after a month. Do you have a fix for this? It looks like I have the same refrigerator in this video.
Same issue.
My husband had the filter door come off. How to get that back on?
Is part of the door broken? I would take the rest of the filter housing off and inspect it to see if any parts are missing or broken. You'll get a better view of what's going on and how the door should be put back if no parts are broken.
How do you take the filter housing off??
I replaced the filter. It still lights up red saying I need to change the filter. ??? Why?
NEED INFO ON THE DRAW BETWEEN THE REFRIDGE...AND THE BOTTOM FREEZE. THE DRAWER IS FREEZING ON ME'
Problem solved Thank you!
This is the second time I replaced a new filter, and the red light keeps indicating to replace filter. What is the problem? Please advise.
Press the button inside the fridge door 5 times fast to reset it
My filter door keeps opening, I do have the right filter, this is an intermittent problem....what should I do?
Robert, you'll want to check the o-rings on the filter to make sure they are not damaged. Then, I would recommend removing the filter housing and see if there is anything impeding the filter from fully seating. A test you can do, if you have another filter, try it to see if you get the same issue. Are you using the EveryDrop brand filter?
I use only every drop filter 1, I ordered another filter to see if it's the filter itself, will let you know if it cures the issue....
Thank you … you helped me with my leaking problem 😊
My filter doesn't pop out when I lift the door. Any tricks to getting it out?
Mine does the same thing. Open the filter door and the filter stays in place.
Same issue
Pump about a gallon of heavy duty all purpose grease from AutoZone into the filter housing. Let it sit for 48 hours, then take a 3/8" drill bit, drill a hole in the dead center, it has to be perfectly centered. Next, find a corrosion resistant bolt that fits and screw it in half way. Unscrew the same bolt and put in about 8 ounces of sand through the hole. Fine a 100 ft galvanized aircraft grade towing chain and attach it to the hole in the filter with that bolt. Take the other end of the chain and run it through the house, out the garage, make sure you cut a hole on the garage door and run the chain through it, now attached it to the muffler using yellow duct tape. Next, coat the tape with super glue from dollar tree. That's it, now tell your neighbor to precisely drive forward from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds. That should definitely get the filter out.
I ended up turning the water off to the house due to the water pressure. That was my fix.
My problem is the water wont dispense with filter in. But when i take out filter it works normal with good pressur. I did replace with new filter today. Ive taken out and replaced back in . Hit the filter reset
Same.
My filter is in the bottom and now all I get is a small drizzle. Or no water.
Same here. But, when we remove the filter, the water is dispensed like normal.
Same issue here too.
Same here! Did anyone find a fix?
Same here, I have replaced the filter 5 times now... I am able to run the 4 gallons through the filter no issue, then a few days later the filter ceases ... anyone get any resolution?
Same here.
filter inserted wrong way - can’t pull it out - any ideas
Mine doesn’t dispense water using a new filter. Put the old filter in and water dispenses without any issues. We have the same frig from this video.
On another blog, someone said the guide pin was 1/16" too long compared to older filter 1. They filed/cut back the guide and fixed their issue
After installing new filter the water flows, however the water is no longer cold
We get a clunking sound when the valve closes after dispensing water. Anyone know how to fix that?
That's the ice cover retracting. I think that's by design
I messed up water filter install.
The arrows on the filter ar not always up. My filter arrows point to the left. So follow the arrows on the filter housing
3:59 I have strings in my water and sediment?
That's really strange. How long have you been using that filter?
Hello, i have double door a whirlpool refrigerator with filters in the bottom. my problem is my water flow is very bad, and when i took the filter out, the water was running from the holes. but when i put the filter in and closed it , i don't see the water leak or coming out from it. and my water flow is still slow
Same problem, did you find a solution?
We keep getting bad taste even with new filters that have been primed
I am having same issue. Ice is getting all clorine flavor but water taste like tap water 😢
The door on mine broke, because I did not remove the tip first.
Every 4 months... says need new filter and water comes out sooooo slow!
hi
every drop filters are crap. had problems with them day one. 2014 frig some times they work. some times i make it work. now it doesn't want to work. its not the frig. its these very $$$$$ filters. every drop is doing nothing about it.
