Gene. Gene, finally getting around to my water issue again. Put in the filter plug and water still slow. Replaced water line and tub. Put in filter, still slow, Replace filter with plug. Now I have good water flow again. So I am confused. When I put the plug in my old water line tub it was still slow but with the new one it is fast. However, it is still slow with the filter attached to the new waterline/tub. So i am wondering if i got a bad filter also. Pressure from the wall is strong.

Gene. I have continued to test the water pressure at the intake valve connection from the water filter. The pressure at that point is the same as the pressure coming out of the dispenser itself. I timed each filling a 15oz cup. It took 16.5 seconds from the filter out line and 17.77 seconds at the dispenser. Pretty close. Both the new and old intake valves registered the same time. The water is almost down to a trickle again after putting in a new filter just one week ago. So I need to check the out line pressure again before it enters the intake valve to be sure this is the issue. Very frustrating issue. I will post my results to you if this is the case of a bad Filter and tube assembly. If you have any other ideas please run them by me. Thanks

Gene. Gene, he is asking if the unit that holds the filter in place could have an internal issue. This unit does have a valve that is activated by the filter ring to allow water to flow into the filter. Water travels through the filter and out the tube that is also a part of unit that holds the filter. I am having the same issue and it is not the intake valve since I already replaced it with a brand new one with no improvement. The part in question is the filter head and tub Part Number: AP3414864 or number 792 on the diagram

I really appreciate all of your help and links. What I am trying to figure out is if there is anything to replace in the filter mechanism that would cause the slow water not the actual filter itself but the parts that bring water to and from the filter? Thanks again for your quick responses.

There is nothing special about replacing water filter. Everything you should know is written in the Owners manual. It is very important to run a few gallons of water from the dispenser right after a new filter installed to get rid of air in the system. Gene.
