Disconnect the two water supply tubes at the base of the Water Filter Base. Using a 7/16" open end wrench, press up on the blue "O" rings to disconnect the tubes.

Having a problem with both ice maker and water dispenser not getting water. Have replaced water inlet, and filters a few times each. Still having issues. Could it be the filter base not allowing water to flow?
For model number FFHS2313LM9
Hello Jaime, Thank you for the question. If there is water getting to the filter but not leaving the filter and the filter is good, It could be the base. You can also check to make sure the water lines after the filter base are not frozen or have air. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

I ordered and replaced water filter base (a genuine OEM part.) But the Frigidaire Pure Source Ultra Water & Ice Refrigerator Filter ULTRAWF that says genuine Filters on the box will still not lock into the receptacle.
For model number FGHC2331PFCA
Hi Johnny,
Thank you for your question. If the new water filter is not locking into place, compare it to the old water filter and make sure they are the same size. Also make sure to remove the cap from the inlet on the new filter. If the water filter is fine, inspect the water filter base to make sure it is installed correctly. If the water filter base is installed correctly and the water filter will still not go in, you may have received a defective water filter base and it will need to be replaced. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.
Top icemaker doesn`t work. Replaced icemaker,valve body new filter,does not fill with water
For model number LGHB2867PFHA
Hi Alan,
Thank you for your question. I would check the water filter base, usually this issue is caused by the water inlet valve, but you should also check the base. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I can't get the non oem water filter to release so i can change it. Apparently this is a common problem when using certain non oem filters. I can take the filter housing apart ( i think with filter still attached?) but will i likely need to change the filter base? Frigidaire gallery fridge.Thanks

Replaced water inlet and filter. When i press water tab i hear the switch opening but no water. Still producing ice so i assume water is flowing through the filter returning to inlet switch. Suggestions.
For model number FFS2311LWRA
Hello Patrick, Thank you for contacting us. I suggest checking the dispenser actuator solenoid with a multimeter. The part number is PS1526338. If you are unfamiliar with the functions of the mutimeter, we have videos available to assist you.

Water is filling the water filter but no water is coming out of the dispenser. Should I replace the base water filter?
For model number FGHB2844LFE
Hello Mark, thank you for inquiring. For this symptom you will want to replace either the Water Filter part PS2364646, the 4 Coil Water Inlet Valve part PS7321353, or the Water Filter Base part PS12364175. We hope this helps.

My water dispenser is not working. I took the water filter out and pushed the dispenser and water came flying out? What part should I order?
For model number FGHS2342LF5
Hi Matt, thank you for getting in touch. According to our research, the issue is with your water filter, part number PS3412266, and it needs to be replaced. We hope that helps!
Water Filter was so difficult to remove and new one was tough to put in but I managed. But still no ice. Will changing the water filter base do the job? How do I turn the water off on my fridge? I guess I have to do that before removing the two water valves? Thank you for giving me as many details about the procedure that you can.
For model number FGHN2866PFDA
Hello Louise, thank you for reaching out. Before replacing the water filter base, we would recommend checking the water inlet valve, part number PS7784018, to fix the issue. In order to turn off the water supply to the refrigerator, you may need to turn off the water to the refrigerator at the household shutoff valve. We hope this solves your problem!
