Refrigerator Water Filter Head WR17X22074

replaced the water filter head and water lines which were fairly easy. Glad Partselect had was I was looking for and it arrived quickly.

Had to replace filter head. After watching tutorials, it was easy.

Roll out the refrigerator. Shut off water supply line. Removed the cover on the back bottom of the fridge and the top left of the fridge where the tubes exit. With a towel on the floor, disconnect the tube coming from the fridge and the supply line. Next go inside the fridge. Above the top shelf, remove the water filter and the cover of the water filter head. Remove the 2 screws securing the filter head in place. Pull the tubes through the opening and install the replacement in the reverse order. Reinstall a fresh water filter. Turn on the water supply line and roll refrigerator back in place.

It was much easier than I had anticipated it was going 2B. All it intaled was 2 undue the 2 water lines w/a 1/2 inch wrench, take out the 2 screws on the top of the head on the inside of the refrigerator, then pull it out. I then just slipped the new head in, replaced the 2 screws, replaced the filter (definitely not overly tightening it this time) by putting some waterproof food grade grease, making it much easier 2 push up & turn. After, I went 2 the back of the refrigerator & reconnected the 1 line 2 the fridge & then the other 2 the water supply. "Walla" we were making ice again & able 2 get ice cold water again, also. The entire process took approximately 30 minutes 2 complete & that's bcuz of my limited disabilities. A younger person could probably be able 2 do it possibly faster.

1. Turn off water. 2. Disconnect two tubes on the back of the refrigerator. 3 Remove Filter. 4. Remove shield covering the water filter head, just pops out. 5. Remove 2 hexhead screws at the back, top of the assembly. 6. Pull the assembly and tubes from the refrigerator. Reverse the procedure to install the new assembly. Less than 30 minutes. Most difficult step starting the screws, tight space.

as soon as i put the new piece in there was plenty of water for full size ice cubes, which it has not done in 3or4years.i was really glad with the speedy delivery of the parts roy anderson

Disconnect main water line from behind refrigerator
Remove bottom panel from refrigerator
Disconnect hose from water valve
Remove metal hose guard from top left of refrigerator Carefully remove plumbers putty from around filter hose (you will be reinstalling this putty around new hose assembly)
Inside refrigerator remove MWF water filter and guard, and then remove two screws holding filter assembly in place (this requires socket set with 4” extension bar)
Carefully pull filter hose assembly towards you from front of refrigerator. Once assembly is out remove Styrofoam cover from old assembly and install on new assembly
To reassemble, simply follow this process in reverse. Good luck

Removed water filter and turned off water supply. Remove the metal plate at the rear bottom of refrigerator and the metal plate at the top rear of the refrigerator that covers the exit of the filter housing from the refrigerator. Then disconnected the water supply line and water line from the filter housing mount to the valves that control water to the door and ice maker. From inside the refrigerator, removed the two bolts holding the filter housing and then removed the filter housing and tubing. Reversed the procedure to install the new top filter housing mount with tubing.
