This water filter (Whirlpool EveryDrop Refrigerator Water Filter, Single Turn Filter) purifies water going to the water dispenser and sometimes the icemaker as well. This part should be replaced if it is causing reduced water flow or just replaced periodically per the owner manual. Replacing this water filter may fix a noisy or leaking fridge, a fridge that is not dispensing water (or reduced flow rate), and an ice maker that is not making ice at all, or not making enough ice. This filter is white, sold individually and measures 8 inches by 3 inches in diameter.
Repair Tip: You will find the water filter in the back corner of the refrigerator. Open the plastic covering, unscrew the old filter and replace it with the new one.

Bottom Drawer pin was broken
Replaced the left side endcap for the drawer. Three screws and it popped out. Easy process once I actually looked at it. Drawer cover now works as designed. Replaced inline water filter. Not problem there.
entire freezer compartment was cascaded in ice and icemaker had been noisy
Turn off power first or unplug. Get a light so you can see. Read these directions through one time to reduce the learning curve. Remove ice cube bin. 1/4" nut-driver will do most of the work. Remove flexible water fill tube from back of ice cube maker, move to the side, out of the way. Remove screw from "L" shaped bracket from the bottom of maker, close to the front. Two more 1/4" screws to go. There are (2) screws on the top left that hold the maker to wall. Loosen the front screw, but do not totally remove, unit will lift off of front screw. The back screw had to be completely removed because of a clip that holds the wiring on the back of the maker. The wiring is attached to the back wall in the form of what is called a Molex connector, a white plastic connector. This is probably the hardest part of the job, wiring access. The air deflector blocks any free access, so you have to just grab and depress the prongs to release the Molex from the wall. With wiring disconnected, remove entire assembly. Use a flat-tip screwdriver to pop the white cover off of the front of the maker to use on the new one. Same goes for the wire cube arm that sets out over the ice cube bin, taking the front out first (pulling straightout) then pivot arm 180 degrees and remove from back. Remove wiring harness from front of maker. Re-install on maker, it goes in one direction only, look at the configuration before you pull it out, and put in the same way. Make absolutely sure you re-install it so it clicks in all the way. If not, it won't work. I had to remove the ice maker again because I did not make this connection properly the first time. So I did the whole job twice. You have to put the job back in reverse of the way you took it out. The new one works great. I should have done this about a year ago. The old one had been making a noise and I ignored it.
Repair was simple and just as described by several others on this site! From finding the part, ordering, quick shipping and instructions, PartsSelect made this job a breeze to complete.
Really easy, simple instructions, and it was on my doorstep 3 days after I ordered. Much simpler than dealing with the appliance store, where I'd have to drive to the store, order the filter, wait 7-10 days, and return to pick it up. Ughh! Internet is the way to go!

I changed the water filter in my fridge because the order and replace light went from green to red. Now that its been replaced how do I make the light go back to green? Will it reboot on its own?
Hi Brian, after replacing the filter you can hold the reset filter pad for 3 seconds. This should turn the light off. Best of luck with this repair.

My icemaker just stopped making ice and I know I need to replace the water filter ive just been dragging my feet about it. Is the icemaker cut off now because I need to replace my filter or is there another reason for it stopping now?
Hello Jones, we recommend replacing the water filter every 6 months, depending on how often you use it. Replacing or not replacing the filter would only affect the water dispenser, not the icemaker. The most common reason an icemaker does not get water would be a defective water valve WPW10270395. I hope this helps.

I just replaced my water filter on my Whirlpool gold however its making ice but its not dispensing water or ice. What van i do?
For model number G15SVAXVL01
Hi Ivan,
Thank you for your question. If there is no water or ice being dispensed, I would check the switch in the dispenser with a multimeter to see if it is working correctly. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

How do you remove water filter?
For model number wrx735sdbm00
Hello Richard,
Thanks for your question. Open up the fridge section, and the filter will be in the back corner of the compartment. Open up the plastic covering. You will need to twist the filter counterclockwise, then remove it.
I hope this helps.

Our fridge section is too cold. Adjusting the digital thermostat does not seem to help much.Water filter replacement comes up as the #1 solution.How does the water filter function affect fridge temp? Does seem to make sense. Thanks.
For model number GZ25FSRXYY0
Hi Steve, Thank you for the question, The suggestions are based on previous customers and what reason they gave for replacing a part. A customer replacing the filter may have clicked the wrong option in error. I suggest checking to make sure the Damper Control Assembly is not stuck open and allowing too much cold air through from the freezer. You can check to see if the flapper has froze open or if there is something blocking the flapper not allowing it to close.Hope this helps!

My refrigerator is leaking water into the freezer. My model has the freezer on the bottom. Which part do you think i need
For model number gz25fsrxyy0
Hello Walter,
Thank you for the great question. Checking the symptom list something to check would be the water filter, If it needs to be replaced it might leak or if it is loose.You can also check to see if the reservoir tank at the back of the appliance has no leaks or the lines going to the tank.
I hope this helps!

The water filter cover keeps on opening and the filter keeps dropping down. The little plastic clip is not holding the door in place. I can't seem to find the part anywhere for my kitchen aide refrigerator. I am using a soda bottle to hold the filter in place.
For model number kfis27cxwh3
Hello Greg, Thank you for your inquiry. The latch or clip for the filter cover is part# WP2223877. Hope this helps!

When I opened the filter cover the filter did not drop down like it did in the video. It is lodged in the compartment. How do I release it?
For model number MF12269FRZ02
Hello Wayne, Thank you for the question. If the filter is stuck, you may need to remove the Filter bracket, Part #: PS2069868 and cover Part #: PS11743682 to remove the filter. I also suggest checking them for any damage causing the filter to get stuck. Hope this helps!
The install video does not show shutting the water. Is it not necessary to shut off the water?
For model number MFI2269FRW00
Hi Charles,
Thank you for your question. No, you will not need to turn the water off to perform this repair. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
