Susan asks…
how do you replace a wf285 refrigerator filter ?
My dad took out a refrigerator replacement water filter by Aqua Fresh with WF285 on it. It i is suppose to be compatible with whirlpool 4396508. However, the insertion parts on both in look different and he says the 4396508 does not fit properly, not matter what angle he inserts it in or how he turns it. Is there a different one that he should get, or is he he missing a step in the installation process?

Whirlpool refrigerator water dispenser not working?
I just got a Whirlpool 21.7 ED2GVEXVD (http://bit.ly/93Nkrq) yesterday and I connected the water
line but the water dispensder doesn’t work. It makes no sound when I hit the button, but the ice
dispenser makes the noise…just its still making ice. But whats wrong with the water dispenser?
No noise and no dispensing? The water filter is in and and everything is connected I believe.
I have a replacement coming tomorrow but I want to try and fix the problem if i can.

Make sure your water line is producing water to your fridge. There is usually a valve somewhere in the line either where it was tapped or at the end close to where you attach to the fridge. If your line produces water then I would take the replacement and make sure the guys stick around until you get it working. If you can make ice, but no water at the dispenser then sounds like you have an internal issue. I believe the water for the ice and the water dispenser both come from the filter first so I dont think it would be the filter.

PUR water-filter status lights (green, orange, red) – when the light goes red, is the…?
…water output no longer filtered?
I use the PUR filters in my refrigerator and on my kitchen tap for water. The indicator lights will change from green to red in 45-60 days after a filter replacement, but the water will keep flowing for another 60-90 days before the filter completely clogs up, and then I have to replace the filter. During the period when the light is red, is the water still being purified? My guess is that it is.
I use a similar filter system when I go hiking, and the instruction manual states that the filter will only output clean filtered water and can be used up until it is completely clogged. But the data on the home filters only say to replace the filter immediately after the light goes red. I think they just want to sell more filters.

The water is still being filtered after the light goes red, however it will come out at a lower pressure. I’m assuming you just mean your tap filter only lasts 45-60 days. Most refridgerator filters should last 6 months or so before the light goes red. I always change mine around the time it goes red because I prefer the proper water flow, and wouldn’t want something stupid like that extra few days to void my warranty on the fridge.
I also don’t know if the lower flow as the filter clogs might affect the ice cube production. They definitely do keep the intervals short to sell more filters though. Their explanation would of course be that they set the interval to ensure that you always have peak performance from the filtering system, and therefore it should be changed before it begins to lose much efficiency.
