Bought used fridge which came with a new water filter in packaging. Upon hooking up water line to fridge (after flushing line with a couple gallons of water), no water would come out of fridge door and no ice would make. I replaced old filter with the new filter and the water worked great. Ice was being made. But … after 24 hours or so, the water just stopped again and ice stopped making. I pulled the new filter out and shook a little water out, reinstalled it, and can only get maybe an ounce of water out of the door dispenser. Seems to act just like it did before I replaced the cartridge before. Since the filters are $50, I sure didn’t feel like just trying another one. Could it have clogged up that fast or something? I can hear the water valve opening up trying to deliver. Any thoughts or help sure would be appreciated ! Thanks
Even though the door felt tight when I closed the filter inside the closure, I suspected maybe the filter was not pushed in quite hard enough. I folded up a paper towel and put between the filter and the swing down door which added a little more pressure pushing the filter into the head a little harder. I could have used a piece of cardboard or something of the like, but had a paper towel handy. The filter I used was a GENUINE Whirlpool filter and not a generic. I did not expect to have to do this but it is what got er working !!!
