#MAYTAG REFRIGERATOR POPPING NOISE FULL#

I shut of my water line to my fridge and removed my filter. If you put your old filter back in and it still has no pressure ,its no the filter 'makes sense'. No its not air in the lines ,No its not freezing lines,No its not low water pressure in my house. I changed my filter and little to no water pressure. I just went through this hair pulling problem. This appears to be a common problem and one definitely don't have to replace the filter head each time. I am very glad this worked and also to know the root cause of this problem.

The video provides more information and shows about the part in the filter head that needs some extra push. Though he mentions to use a metal washer, a simple garden hose washer will work as good. I got this idea after watching this YouTube video You can either replace the filter head or do a cheap fix by using a water hose washer. I agree that the issue is with the filter head assembly. So it was clear it was not the issue with water filter. Then also tried a generic filter from home depot. Returned the original GE one, and got another GE one thinking it was a defect in the filter. I had the same exact issue after I replaced the water filter. Best of all, it just costs as much as a water hose washer ! Hi, Wanted to share my solution that worked. OR perhaps never buying GE or any off name same manufacturer fridges would be! Leaning more towards bad filter specs as I can get sprayed heavily activating the switch by hand with no filter installed! Perhaps a new valve for a new fridge from 2016 with a filter for that would be best option. Could be bad filter mounts or problems with the valve switch. Fridge 12 years old, filter is like 8 years old (not mine) and the new filters don't get made by the same specs as the 'GE SMARTWATER MWF' filter used to. Not a 100% fix but all 3 filters were different inside where it mounts and triggers the switch to let water pass.

Old filter was working but slow flow, new filters wouldn't work. Created washers out of a cereal box, put inside top of filter and it worked. Pressed the switch on the valve and water went all over. noticed the inside part is different from the OE smartwater mwf filter, tried ge mwf filter and it didn't work.

Tried a great value MWF filter didn't work but for maybe 2 seconds of full pressure. If it doesnвЂ™t have continuity it should be replaced. The switch can be checked for continuity with an Ohm meter. If the door switch fails the dispenser will not turn on. When the freezer door is opened the freezer door switch does two things, it turns on the light in the freezer and turns off the ice and water dispenser. If the refrigerator water dispenser is not working, the door switch might be defective. If the refrigerator water dispenser is not working the water filter might be clogged. Water inlet valves require a minimum of 20 psi to function properly. If the water dispenser is not working the water pressure from the house might be too low.

If the pressure is good and the water filter is good, replace the water inlet valve. If it is too cold the water line in the door may freeze. The freezer temp should be kept from 0 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Most doors are foamed in with a sleeve the water line goes thru to the dispenser. and determine where it froze in the door. Look for a connection point at the bottom or top of the door, try removing the hose and blowing air through it and out the dispenser. If the refrigerator water dispenser is not working the water supply tube in the door may be frozen.
