The function of the Refrigerator Water Filter is to filter the water supply to reduce and remove contaminants in your water supply for a certain period of time. The filter is meant to be easily accessible. You should be able to access it through the front, bottom panel of your fridge. This filter should regularly be replaced. It is recommended that the water filter be replaced every six months or every 200 gallons of water to ensure proper removal of impurities and to ensure best flow rates. If your filter isn't functioning properly, you will either get a buildup of impurities or impure water. A buildup of impurities will hinder the water flow to your refrigerator water dispenser and ice maker. If the water is still flowing but it has been more than 6 months since you changed the filter, impurities may be entering your water supply. This model is plastic, white, and measures 12 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. It is sold individually.

I change my water filter at least once a year and I always use the same one. When I pushed this one into place it wouldn’t click like it normally does and then water starts leaking. I don’t understand why this isn’t working. Was the filter changed or is there a problem with my fridge?
Hi Danny, this sounds like a problem with your filter housing. It should be replaced. I hope this helps.

Cap is missing can't get the filter out
For model number 10658422700
Hi Ronald,
Thank you for contacting us. Sorry to hear you are missing the cap. They have a White Cap part number PS11739972 and a Black Cap part number PS11739970 listed. They booth show in stock and ready to ship online. If you need the filter removed before you can order the cap you should be able to use a pair of pliers to hold onto the end of the filter and push in a bit and it should pop out.
Hope this helps!

When changing the water filter, do i need to turn the water off and if so how do i do it?
For model number ED5FHAXSB02
Hello Bob, thank you for contacting us. Yes you do want to shut off the water to the fridge. It would be the water supply in your home, wherever you have that located just turn it off there, then you can replace the water filter. Good luck with the repair!

Can’t get my water filter out. On this model I have a push button and it should just pop out and I jiggle it the rest of the way but the button seems jammed and doesn’t work and I can’t tug it or rock it out. I don’t want to hurt the housing so what should I try next.
Hi Marty, unfortunately if the button is stuck, and the filter is stuck inside of the housing, the whole filter assembly will need to be replaced. I hope this helps.

I put my new water filter in and it clicked on the button popped back out but i am not getting the light to reset in the refrigerator us saying that it’s got a new filter how do i reset the filter light
For model number Jf42nxfxdw01
Hello Barb, thank you for your question. To Reset The Filter Display Message (For Models With An Internal Water Dispenser): Press and hold both the "Fridge/ Power Cool" button for 3 seconds, or until the display resets. If done correctly, the Filter Display Message should be reset. I hope this helps!

So for some reason my filter wont go in my fridge. I use the same brand and have never had a problem. Ive tried three times and nothing works and I don’t want to break anything. The kicker is that my old one is sliding in and out with no problem, what do you suggest? Thanks
Hi Gio, if the filter is not going in, then the filter is the problem. You could try to put a few drops of vegetable oil on the seal to see if it helps slide the filter into place. Best of luck with this repair!

I changed my water filter and now there is no water to the dispenser or the ice maker, what do I do?
For model number 10656532400
Hello Vicki,
Thanks for your question. It would be a good idea to check the water inlet valve, part number PS3497634, and to test it with a multi-meter for continuity if it does not have 20 psi. If it does not have continuity, replace it. Be sure to also check the water supply going to the water inlet valve.
I hope this helps.
Repair Tip: This part has been updated by the manufacturer, it may look different but will still function the same. Shut off the water supply to your refrigerator before replacing the filter.

Water filter replacement
It's simple enough in theory: read the side of the box and follow the instructions. BUT you need to really push the knob in pretty hard (I am a girl, and my hand strength isn't that good). If you don't, when you turn the knob, the filter won't come out, then it's tougher. So: make sure the knob pops before you turn!

change the water filter light was on.
It was ridiculously easy. Push the button on the filter canister holder at the base of the refrigerator and the spring-loaded mechanism came out smoothly. I unplugged the old filter, took the cap off the new on and plugged it in. After reinserting the filter canister holder and locking it in place, I heard the whoosh of water once again moving through the filter. Very satisfying and very easy to do.

Washing poorly, leaving particles of food on top of the dishes, not draining completely, ceiling spray arm not spinning (bent up to the ceiling)
The lower spray arm unscrews. From inside the dishwahser, put a screwdriver through the tab slots and unscrew the tower from the floor. It's pretty tight for plastic. The upper spray arm has screws on the top of the dishwasher. You must slide the dishwasher out from underneath the countertop to get to the screws. Normally that's just the two screws above the door that screw into the countertop. Pull the insulation back and unscrew the arm from the top of the dishwasher. Reverse to reinstall. Piston and nut assembly for check valve: Inside the dishwasher at the back there are 2 screws that hold a screen down. Remove the screen. Take out the check valve and replace it. It was still functional in mine, it looked like food gunk had built up on it and impeded the check valve action. The flapper chec is a rubber flap in the drain tube that connects to your sink drain. You have to pull the dishwasher out from under the sink to get to the end of the drain tube that connects to the dishwasher. Take the hose clamp loose and remove the drain tube from the dishwasher. Then unscrew the plastic fitting that you just took the drain tube off of. The flapper chec is there. It had turned brittle and didn't flap anymore. It is a similar setup to the rubber seal at the end of your garden hose.
It was SOOO easy, I turned and popped out the old filter and turned and snapped in the new one....I don't even think it took a whole minute to replace!!

Refrigerator indicated that water filter needed replacement
It took less than 5 minutes to remove the old filter and install the new one. Push a button and the old one pops out, stick in the new one, and you're done.

Ice maker stopped working.
Removed the icemaker to see if I could determine problem; motor was seized; got part numbers and ordered from you; parts arrived next day (even though overnight delivery wasnt' requested - so THANK YOU!); compared new parts to original to be sure of fit; reassembled unit; reinstalled in freezer, and waited for the sound of water filling the tray. Producing like brand new again! Cancelled the service call w/ Sears for the following week (when it was convenient for them) Loved your service!

Part Fit Perfectly
I was worried that the part I was ordering through the mail would not be an exact replacement part, but it fit exactly. When an individual orders a part through the mail you run a risk of it being something that does not work. You can not see it and you can not compare it with the old part. The filter for our refrigerator must be exact. There was no room for almost. It must be exact or it would not fit. Your replacement part fit perfectly. Thanks.
