I have a customer that states he has to change the filter in this refrigerator every 4 weeks. New filter goes in and the water flows well from dispenser but at about four weeks the flow slows to almost nothing again. This pattern has been repeat over and over. The customer states this is averaging out to a $1.75 per day. Would this be a problem with hard water? Has anyone else had this problem? I was wondering if I should install some sort of a prefilter. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
I would look at the filter head. Is spot-on regarding the filter head. Unfortunately, the tiny actuator tip in these receptacles wears out or breaks over time, causing disruption of water to the unit. The filters this customer has replaced are probably only 10% used. The head comes with new lines to connect to the supply and valve.
The current part number is 67004106. This is more common than hard water. ApplianceVideo.com also has a Free video on this problem. Go to the site and check it out.
