Water dispenser suddenly started filling very slowly. Changed the filter still very slow fill. Removed the filter and it flows great but i noticed water leaking out the filter housing outlet. Replaced the filter and again very slow fill. Do i need to replace the filter housing? Again without the filter great flow so it seems the switches and valve are ok.Thanks.
For model number c
Hello Tim, thanks for your question! We would recommend changing the filter housing, as changing the filter did not fix the issue and ruled out the filter being the problem. It is most likely an issue with the connection to the water filter in the housing. We hope this helps, and good luck with your repair!

Every few days my water dispenser slows and i get a pulsating sound. I can fix it by removing and reseating the filter. But then it comes back in a few days. Also the filter takes a lot of pressure to seat and sometimes unseats on its own. Could this part fix my problem?
Hi James,
Thank you for your question. If the water filter is not seating correctly in the housing, replacing the housing may help. I would check first to make sure that housing you have now is fitted correctly in the refrigerator and not causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Replaced water filter and no water comes out of dispenser.Removed new filter and notice water leaking from filter housing ports. Removed housing cleaned ports with air to blow out any foreign material. Reinstalled housing and filter, still no water come out of dispenser. I already replaced inlet valve.
For model number ed5vhexvq02
Hi Joe,
Thank you for your question. I would suggest then checking your micro switch in your dispenser area. You can test that part with a multi meter to be sure. If that part is also fine, the problem may lay with your dispenser control board. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

No water at the dispenser with the filter installed. I replaced it with a new filter and there is still no water. It works fine with the filter removed [bypass filter]. Do I need a filter housing?
For model number ED5VHEXVQ06
Hello Gary,
Thanks for your question. There are a few parts to consider beforehand. First, test the water inlet valve with a multi-meter for continuity and replace it if it shows no continuity. See if the water lines are frozen and if they are receiving sufficient pressure as well. We would also advise checking the door switches for continuity, as they can cause the dispenser to not dispense water if they fail.
I hope this helps.

When water is dispensed at the door in addition to the slow flow, there has been a buzzing noise. This happened also with the installation of a new filter.
For model number ED5FHAXst00
Hi Ed, thank you for your question. Usually when you are having an issue like that it is best to check the water filter for any dirt or debris that could be in the top. Otherwise you might have to look at your water inlet valve for being the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

The water dispenser flow was very slow and the housing leaked when the filter was removed.
Removed front plastic grill and screws holding the filter in place. Also removed lower back cardboard panel to access water lines. Video on this website told me how to remove water lines from filter, you must depress a collar around the water line while pulling out the water line. Then install the new Water Filter Housing and water lines. The only problems I had was the tight space to work in and one of the water lines was leaking, but pushing the water line in further solved the problem.

Both the ice maker and water dispenser in the door were not getting water.
I first replaced the water valve, but that did not correct the problem. I then replaced the filter, but still no luck. In the end, it turned out to the the water filter housing was malfunctioning and not letting water through the filter when the filter was installed (it did let water through when the filter was removed, however). I replaced the water filter housing and all worked well once again. The filter housing is not difficult to replace. The hardest part is figuring out how to remove the hoses from the filter. Just push the hose in while holding the plastic ring around the outside, then pull the hose back out.

water filter not seating properly to allow water flow, replace filter housing.
Turned off water to frig and unplugged power. Removed screws holding water valve in back of frig in order to release water line going to water filter housing. Removed screws holding water filter housing in front of frig and disconnected two water lines going to water filter housing. Removed water filter housing and replaced with new. Reattached the two water lines to the new filter housing and remounted with two screws. Reattached water line to fill valve and remounted fill valve. Plugged frig back in and tested water flow out of water dispenser, good flow now to water dispenser and ice maker.

Leaking water from filter housing
Followed the directions from the video and almost everything went great. The toughest part of the repair was removing the push button cap from the old housing.

Low water pressure from water dispenser
Removed the front cover on the bottom of fridge. Removed the water filter from the housing. The housing unbolted by two 1/4 screws at the front of the housing. Removed the back cover at the bottom of fridge. Removed the solenoid valves in order to pull the housing out the back to easily undo the water lines on the housing. (I couldn’t undo the water lines from the front of the fridge.) Once I got the water lines undone I replaced the housing and did the steps in reverse. Water pressure is now back to normal!

The part worked perfectly!
My Whirlpool ice maker and water dispenser both stopped at the same time. I first replaced the water valve of the refrigerator. That did not do the trick. Had I tried removing the filter during diagnostics, I would have found that the water flowed through the filter housing and everything worked fine. When I put the filter back in, all stopped again. I tried replacing the filter, but it still did not work. I cleaned the filter housing with vinegar...still not working. After I ordered and installed the new water filter housing, everything works perfectly again. Somehow the housing had broken and was not able to send water through the filter as it should. Hope this helps you figure out your problem.
