does puting my pur water filter in the refrigerator affect it from working properly?
March 18th, 2010My Kenmore elite refrigerator has very slow running water, how do I fix it?
March 17th, 2010I noticed that my water was coming out slow and the ice was being made slow as well, i knew it was time for a new filter and so I got one. Now my problem is with the water pressure still, it comes out very slow and takes almost three minutes to fill a glass and the water taste very bad. I’m just seeing if anyone knows a way to fix this problem.
My refrigerator is a Kenmore elite model # 106.74906401….and it has the freezer on top.
What is a soft water loop?
March 16th, 2010I recently purchased a new home from centex homes and was offered a soft water loop. During construction I saw that the plumbing went from the main line to the loop, but before getting to the loop there was a connection that went towards the back yard and to the kitchen. I most definetly would have like my kitchen sink water and refrigerator to have filtered water. Does anyone know why the kitchen did not get included in the loop?
How can I speed up the water flow from my refrigerator's water dispenser?
March 15th, 2010I have already tried changing the filter, and the PSI is good. It takes a minute to fill just 6oz of water. Is there any way to speed that up? The ice maker works fine from the same line.
environmentalists, do filters on the fridge remove the chemicals and clorine in tap water?
March 14th, 2010I always bought spring water because I like the taste (I don’t know why but I taste chlorine in the tap water) and I like to be healthy. My parents purchased this refrigerator that has filtered water on it and to tell you the truth, the water tastes fine. But I still want to be healthy. Do those filtered get out all the chemicals? Are they as good as bottled spring water?
Help! Can't find the knob to turn on the water to my refrigerator! The delivery guys could not find the knob.?
March 13th, 2010I have an old house (1945) and we used to have ice but had it turned off years ago because of the bad water. But, now that we have a filter, we want ice and got a new refrigerator but the delivery guys could not find the knob. Next to the refrigerator is a dryer and next to that a washer. And the wall behind the refrigerator is the bathroom. The delivery guys could not find the knob on the wall that turns on the water. How did we used to have this hooked up?
Low water flow on Kitchen Aid water dispenser… again…?
March 13th, 2010I’ve changed my refrigerator water filter twice in the past four months. I have adequate ice production and water pressure at the kitchen faucet is very good, maybe even a little high but I have a restrictor on the faucet so it’s fine. Any ideas on what’s causing this? My refrigerator is only 18 months old and it’s getting really expensive!
How do you connect a refrigerator water line to a washing machine spigot?
March 10th, 2010We moved into a very old rental and there is no water line for the fridge. Fortunately, our washing machine had to be moved to the basement, and the washer/dryer opening is perfect for our large french door fridge to fit, with hot and cold water spigots right in the wall.
What do I need and how do I connect the standard washing machine cold water spigot to the refrigerator line so that we have filtered water and a working ice maker? We are in the country and have a Lowe’s and Wal-Mart in town.
Why isn't my Frigidaire not dispensing water and why is the filter housing leaking water from the inside?
March 10th, 2010I just bought a house with a relatively new stainless frigidaire refrigerator. I noticed the water flow from the dispenser was pretty slow, so I replaced the filter with a new one. Now there is no flow from the dispenser and water is leaking from the filter housing. I put some teflon tape on the threads of the filter housing, but there is still no water flow from the dispenser. I tried putting the old filter back in and there still isn’t any flow. Anyone know whats going on and how I can fix it? (And yes, I’m sure I’m using the correct filter.)
Why does the water and ice coming from my GE PRofile refrigerator smells moldy and tastes bad?

Why does my Frigidaire refrigerator's water filter only work off and on?
March 8th, 2010It usually works but every now and then the water tastes like it is straight out of the faucet and I have to take the catridge out and slam it back in and then it will taste filtered again. This happens all the time and it gets annoying. Problem with the fridge or faulty catridge? This new filter’s only 2 months old by the way. Thanks.
I have a Kenmore refrigerator and water is not getting to the ice maker or to the water dispenser in the door.?
March 6th, 2010My Kenmore Cold-spot is 10 yrs old. Water is not getting to the lines. I can hear the ice maker trying to drop ice, but there is no sound from the water dispenser when I depress the front. It’s older so I don’t think I have a filter, any suggestions?
I’ve checked the cut off switch and that works fine.
Plus, It is hooked up to my RO, so it gets good water. If it is the silonoid, where is it and can I replace it myself?

Is refrigerator water safe to drink?
March 3rd, 2010i’ve been drinking like 6 glasses of water everyday. This water usually comes from my refrigerator most of the time. I’m pretty sure it has a filter system. I don’t feel like spending money on bottled water anymore. Is this safe to do 6 times a day everyday?? or should i just start buying bottled water again? which one is healthier?
Why did my Frigidaire refrigerator's filter suddenly stop filtering water?
March 2nd, 2010It has a removable catridge that is replaced every 6 months, no screwing, it just slides and snaps in on its own. This new catridge has been in for about a month or two and suddenly last night the water tasted like nasty chlorinated faucet water. I had more water the next morning and it still tasted awful. So I took the catridge out and put it back in, ran water through then tried another glass and it tasted beautiful. What happened and why? Will it do this again? Please help!
My refrigerator ice-maker has stopped making ice. However, it still dispenses water. How do I fix it?
March 2nd, 2010I have a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator. It has a water and ice dispenser in the door. The water still dipenses, however there is no ice being made. Also, there appears to be some floaties coming out in my water. I regularly change the filter (every six months).
Additionally, it used to work. It just one day stopped making ice. It is about 2 1/2 years old.
Moreover, the wire to tell the icemaker to make is down meaning it is on.

Refrigerators and plastic water lines – how to flush?
February 28th, 2010I decided to replace my water filter feeding my icemaker. It has a plastic water line. I can see gunk in the line before & after the filter — enough that I’m not going to use the icemaker until the lines are replaced.
My problem: I can replace the plastic lines leading up to the refrigerator, but how do I flush/santize the rest of the system (inside the fridge)? Anyone ever done this before?
KitchenAid Refrigerator slow to dispense water?
February 28th, 2010My KitchenAid refrigerator has very slow running water, how do I fix it? I tried to test the flow from the cold water and that was fine. Someone told me it might be the water inlet valve – anyone know where I could buy this? I have tried replacing the filter but that did nothing.
My refrigerator is a KitchenAid model # ksrl25FTSS00.
Additionally, I am currently using a plastic tube and this is what the refrigerator also has throughout (internally).
I’m hoping that someone can point me in the right direction without have to call a repairman.
How do you clean/sanitize the water filtration system on a refrigerator?
February 28th, 2010I just got a free refrigerator from the inlaws that was sitting in the garage.
And I know its gross, but some mice chewed on the water hose going to the refrigerator.
It was never hooked up to a water line while it was in there but I don’t feel comfortable just buying a new hose and filter and letting the water drain out for a couple minutes.
If there is some sanitizing method you can share with me then great! Think I should get a technician? Do I need one?
Black specs in my water, please help..?

How to fix bad tasting water from the refrigerator?
February 27th, 2010Our water that comes out of the refrigerator smells and tastes bad. It, obviously, also makes our ice produced by the ice maker taste bad. There is also things floating in it. We have changed the filter. The other day we emptied the water line coming from the house to the fridge and the first cup full of water was rancid and yellow. After that it seemed to clear up some, but now it is back to smelling. Our normal house water tastes fine. What could be the problem and how do we correct it?
How do I get my refrigerator to stop leaking from the water dispenser?
February 26th, 2010My Frigidaire side by side is continuously dripping from the water dispenser. It’s like one drop every 5 minutes. After searching and asking about this, I replaced the dual valve, but it did not help. There looks to be a single valve back there too, is that the problem maybe? What do all these valves do? The problem first started after I replaced the water filter, so it could be something else altogether too.
