No good without it
Just a little switch behind the water filter, but if it fails you will have no through the door water and no ice being made.
Simple to replace but hard to find.

Hope installing the new water filter base solves the problem.
I'm a little old lady. I installed the new part with little effort, just hard to reach. I will know if the part really solved the problem when it is time to replace the filter. Could not get the old filter out of the filter base, so I had to remove the old filter base with the filter still attached and throw both in the garbage. The new filter is genuine Frigidaire brand.

Having a problem with both ice maker and water dispenser not getting water. Have replaced water inlet, and filters a few times each. Still having issues. Could it be the filter base not allowing water to flow?
For model number FFHS2313LM9
Hello Jaime, Thank you for the question. If there is water getting to the filter but not leaving the filter and the filter is good, It could be the base. You can also check to make sure the water lines after the filter base are not frozen or have air. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

Top icemaker doesn`t work. Replaced icemaker,valve body new filter,does not fill with water
For model number LGHB2867PFHA
Hi Alan,
Thank you for your question. I would check the water filter base, usually this issue is caused by the water inlet valve, but you should also check the base. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I ordered and replaced water filter base (a genuine OEM part.) But the Frigidaire Pure Source Ultra Water & Ice Refrigerator Filter ULTRAWF that says genuine Filters on the box will still not lock into the receptacle.
For model number FGHC2331PFCA
Hi Johnny,
Thank you for your question. If the new water filter is not locking into place, compare it to the old water filter and make sure they are the same size. Also make sure to remove the cap from the inlet on the new filter. If the water filter is fine, inspect the water filter base to make sure it is installed correctly. If the water filter base is installed correctly and the water filter will still not go in, you may have received a defective water filter base and it will need to be replaced. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.
I can't get the non oem water filter to release so i can change it. Apparently this is a common problem when using certain non oem filters. I can take the filter housing apart ( i think with filter still attached?) but will i likely need to change the filter base? Frigidaire gallery fridge.Thanks

Hello Mark, thank you for your question. Yes, you will most likely have to replace the base PartSelect Number: PS12364175 to complete this repair. I hope this helps.

My water dispenser is not working. I took the water filter out and pushed the dispenser and water came flying out? What part should I order?
For model number FGHS2342LF5
Hi Matt, thank you for getting in touch. According to our research, the issue is with your water filter, part number PS3412266, and it needs to be replaced. We hope that helps!
Water is filling the water filter but no water is coming out of the dispenser. Should I replace the base water filter?
For model number FGHB2844LFE
Hello Mark, thank you for inquiring. For this symptom you will want to replace either the Water Filter part PS2364646, the 4 Coil Water Inlet Valve part PS7321353, or the Water Filter Base part PS12364175. We hope this helps.

Replaced water inlet and filter. When i press water tab i hear the switch opening but no water. Still producing ice so i assume water is flowing through the filter returning to inlet switch. Suggestions.
For model number FFS2311LWRA
Hello Patrick, Thank you for contacting us. I suggest checking the dispenser actuator solenoid with a multimeter. The part number is PS1526338. If you are unfamiliar with the functions of the mutimeter, we have videos available to assist you.

I have a stuck water filter, and am unable to remove it from the housing any idea how i can remove the cartridge so i can replace the filter. If i have to replace the filter base is 242009601 the correct replacement part?
For model number FFHS2611LW7
Hello Dennis, thank you for your question. We do not have any information on releasing a stuck filter, but the base part number you have referenced is correct for that unit. I hope this helps.
