- How to replace the water and ice filter on the Whirlpool French Door Side-By-Side Fridge. After replacing the filter, you will need to dispense at least 4 gallons of water to get rid of the carbon in the filter plus any air before using it. It's recommended that this filter be changed every 6 months or so. The Fridge will chime and alert on the screen.

Handy Hudsonite here. Thanks so much for watching my tutorial on how to change the filter on a Whirlpool refrigerator. Make sure to watch my video on how to reset the filter indicator light (Because it won't reset on it's own). Check out that video here: th-cam.com/video/NJudcc8o5xc/w-d-xo.html - Oh yeah, make sure to subscribe to my channel, hitting that 🛎 so you get updated when any new video goes up! Thanks for being here.
I just recently had my water filter compartment door fixed because I accidentally jammed it in. When you lift off the compartment door, the old water filter pops out for an easy removal. Apparently I broke that function because I was having trouble taking it out. Anyway the repair job is done, but I want to make sure that the next time I have difficulty in taking out the old water filter within 6 months, I don’t destroy that pop-out function. So the way you took out that water filter was gently, not a forceful pull, right?
@@olympustiger22 Thanks for your explanation here. Yes, for me, it gently came out. Sorry you had to go through this experience while replacing. Thanks for watching!
My filter on my whirlpool refrigerator did not pop out like shown in the video at all its actually stuck in the housing I've shut water off (which I know you normally don't need to) in hopes of maybe relieving some pressure so that I can pull it out any advice on getting the original filter out would be greatly appreciated
WRS321SDHZ, how would you change the air filter in that model?
Q we
Thanks I’m a woman in my 80s and I got the darn thing done today thanks for the tutorial
Single women who live alone appreciate you 😂
Hey sexy eyes,, we can change that single lady living alone apart ;)
Absolutely!🤣
Single woman here learning 😂 Ty!!
Girl!!!😂😂
Yes indeed
Wow! This is Godsent!! I have the same exact fridge. Also, shoutout to all the "single ladiez" taking care of business in your household 🙏🏽
Problem fixed!!!! Thanks Handy Hudsonite!! My water filter was stuck. I'm a 72 year old great grandmother and I read all the posts on all the youtube posts and this post had the fix. I made sure to turn off the circuit breaker, couldn't shut off the water because I could not find the turn off knob. Anyway, be sure you unplug or turn off circuit breaker. I used the screwdriver on the 10:00 and 6:00 position, gently wriggling. Used an adjustable pliers and it came out pretty easily. I strugged for at least 30 minutes prior trying to get the filter out. This was my second filter change so I knew how to do it but the darn thing was stuck. Fixed. Hallelujah. Thanks a Million!!!!
Mary u really got me confused... I changed my water filter in about 10 minutes... I didn't need to turn off a circuit-breaker... I didn't need to get out any tools.. No screwdrivers, no hammers, no crowbars... I could be wrong... It wouldn't be the first time... So I hope u changed your filter the right way.. Mine seems to be working OK... I reset the Change water filter indicator... I'm going to write to HH regarding draining 4 gallons of water before you start using it.. Yes I'm clear it needs to be done... It's just my picture is only 32 fluid ounces and there's 64 fluid ounces in a gallon… that's it for now... It looks like you sent your note to HH 10 months ago…I hope you're water filter change in the interim was successful & that all of ur water filter replacements r a piece of cake…That's it for now.. Take care of yourself Mary
@bongo579 you’re ridiculously ignorant if you can’t understand what her comment is referring to. HER FILTER WAS STUCK INSIDE THE HOUSING AND SHE COULDN’T GET IT OUT. She had to use screwdrivers and/or adjustable pliers to grip it and wiggle it out of the housing because it wouldn’t simply slide out. Voila. You’re welcome for translating.
You forgot to mention to reset your water filter button😊
Actually.... it is also a good idea to empty your ice maker reservoir too. That ice may contain the old unfiltered water. I empy mine when I replace my filter in my Whirlpool side by side refrigerator :)
Thank you!
Thank you. I have the same fridge you have, ours started telling us we need to change the filter I’m glad I found your video and I just ordered it, so when it gets here I will know what to do. Thanks again.
Single ma here. THank you. Finding right filter was confusing me
Much appreciated I was about to ask about running the water after installing. This help will definitely help me and my family from going to Costco every week just to get bottled water now. Thank you.
You're welcome, so glad this was helpful for you. That's great that this will save you many trips back and forth to Costco.
Great video. Nice that you don't have to climb around on the floor any more, to change the filters.
Thanks, Jim! Yeah, it is really convenient and very easy to switch out. I appreciate you stopping by to support my channel.
Thanks again man. I needed this to see how water to run through the filter. It was all dark and mirky but I thought it was good after it turned clear. But then, I thought to myself, I better see what Handy Hudsonite has to say about that ...lol. You covered it man. Thanks again.
Actually, I scrolled down and saw my answer for the filter not ejecting. I'll shut off the water, give it a try. Thanks
Since my uncle past life got hard now im here thank u
I don't have that Whirlpool refrigerator but if I did, I would know how to change that filter. This video will help those that will search a video on changing their water filter on that particular model. Nice job Matt!
Thanks, Sam! It was a fun one to do.
Thank you for the video. Ii am sure it sounds stupid but I had been trying to install it upside down. I was absolutely certain that was the way the grooves mated on the top and bottom.
Thank you!!! Your video made this breeze for me! I wouldn’t have seen myself changing any type of filter, but your video made it so easy!! Thank you! This helps those like myself... definitely subscribing 😆
Oh my goodness….. you made my daytime dilemmas so much easier. Thank you so very much. You are amazing with your tutorials!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this, i was looking on youtube to know how to change my airfilter for days, i even bought the wrong filter cause the videos i've watched showed the old whirlpool version, not the stainless one. So i will definitely look on what kind of filter mine use now and buy the right one on Amazon! Thank you again!
My fridge has an incredibly slow drip from the dispenser. I replaced with the "one drop" filter, no change. I had a reputable fridge repairman come. He checked all lines, hosing, and even changed the casing. I placed a brand new filter, still have a ssllooww drip. Any thoughts?
I have the same problem with my fridge any suggestions on what it might be ?
I bought my side xside used from an appliance used store but this video has helped me so much Thank You all so much for the information
Thank you so much!! I had a mini heart attack after my water started coming out grey!! LOL
I have this exact refrigerator and my filter is jammed! When I pop open the lid the filter didn’t come out partially like yours did! And I can’t get the filter out! Any recommendations?
Thanks for your question. It's possible the end of the filter could be frozen causing it to be difficult to remove. You may want to take off the outer covering so you can see the other end of the filter better to determine what's wrong. It's also possible that an issue with the o-rings on the end of the filter are causing it to be stuck.
thanks this was very helpful
The replacement of the filter was described very well. However, the only reason I was watching was to learn how to reset the warning. And that is in another video?
Yes, I made a short video on how to reset the filter light: th-cam.com/video/NJudcc8o5xc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, this helped jolt my memory to use a flashlight lol
Thank you sir, very helpful
Ok, so what if the filter is stuck in that needs to be replaced? What do I do then?
Why is it so difficult to replace? it takes forever with me it just delay snapping. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a new subscriber: a great short and concise tutorial. God bless you!
Great video! I moved into a rental home, and after replacing the filter the water still has teeny tiny microscopic dots in it that settle. Is that just calcium from hard water, and will it stay that way or do I have a water line problem? It tastes just fine. Thanks!
Did you ever get an answer to this question?
Hello. I’ve got the exact fridge. My problem now is, after a few years of using, the filter door now is not pulling the cartridge out when
Lifting it. Any solution? Now I have the filter stuck inside and don’t know to pull it out. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!
Sorry to hear you're having that issue. I've heard of others that run into this. It's possible that the o-ring is frozen, causing the filter to not move. It could be due to some other issue also. Here is what the Whirpool site recommends: If the water filter is stuck:
**Try closing and re-opening the Water Filter Compartment Door
Ensure the door is fully opened
Turn off the water to the Refrigerator and purge some of the water from the water line line, using the water dispenser. Dispense several cups of water, this will release some of the water pressure in the water line. After purging the water line, try removing the water filter.** - Hope this can help you out. Thanks for watching!!
@@HandyHudsonite how to turn off the water?
@@mochatype under your sink there are probably 2 football shaped handless. The cold water is what u want to turn off.
My filter would not come out either. If you look there is a little brass hex head screw holding the housing over the filter. Undo the screw and then you can push the filter out from behind. When I popped it out, I found the problem. There is a T shaped plastic piece with a hook that is supposed to pull the filter out when u open the door. It popped out. I just placed it back in its grooves, hook side down.
Filter is stuck. Doesn’t pop out when you open the door!
Great Video. But how do we install a bypass for this ? Since we already have a water softener and RO water system
Trying to figure this out for weeks! Thought of TH-cam and found you! Yay!!! Done!!! So easy-thanks
My water dispenser always leaks, no a lot but just enough, when I come home, there is always water on the drip tray. Is there a way to stop that.
Hi Handy. Good video. One item that differed between my owner's manual and your video is the following info from my owner's Manual: "Once the water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gals. (12 L) has been dispensed." The frig is a new Whirlpool purchased Jan 2024. I have two theories on why they specify this: (1) Closing the water supply valve via the water dispenser "shocks" the water system every 5 seconds when the solenoid valve closes. This could cause additional particles to dislodge. (2) Keeping the solenoid valve energized while you pump 3 gallons could cause it to overheat. Of course, the repeated ON-OFF every 5 seconds doesn't seem really great for it either!
I don't know that either of these is accurate..... just my initial thoughts.
Can you post a video about how to flush the waterline for this same refrigerator?
How to remove move the order filter sign after adding new filter
Appreciate your channel and subbed,…..weird question,..looked all over online for this and can’t find the answer,..but how long do you have between the order filter and replace filter,…or should it be changed on order filter,…not looking for an exact number just an estimate,….thanks in advance.
Great video. Could you explain why filter door is not snapping close, I have to tape door and why there is never air coming out when new filter is installed? Could it be water is not being filtered?
My filter door doesn't snap close either. It is broken?
Will you do a video on the ice maker not making ice?
I have the same problem. My ice maker stopped working after changing my filter with a new one I got from Amazon. I returned the filter and got the name brand one to replace the knock off one (I didn’t realize it was a knockoff) but ice maker still not working. I can hear the engine but no ice. Any thoughts?
@@yhwh4ps374 I removed all built up ice from around the ice maker. Reinstalled the parts and it began working.
@@temasan2365 I’m too much a scaredy cat to try to take it apart. I miss my ice.
Hey, just replaced my filter. What do i do with the old filter? is it okay to dispose it off with regular garbage ?
Great video thank you, what if I want to use a water filter bypass plug? Which part is that? And how would I go about that?
When I open the filter door, it does not eject the filter. Do you have any recommendations? Pull out with channel locks?
Mine won't come out either. Whst did you do?
I have the same Whirlpool refrigerator and I dont think this model requires a BYPASS cap like other models do. If you dont need or want the water filter (which in my case I dont need a water filter because I have a whole house water filter on my main water supply to my house). I removed my water filter and didnt install any kind of Bypass Cap and the water still flows and operates as normal.
Was looking for an answer to this question. Have a RO system providing water to the fridge and want the filter removed. Old fridge required a cap...wondering if this one needed cap also
@@brianscott2895 this model of Whirlpool fridge does not need a cap. I tool my filter out and didnt install any type of cap 2 months ago and there is no water leaking anywhere. Just take your filter out and your good
Will the replace water filter sign go away on its own after you change filter and run water for the 4 gallons
When I try to replace with new filter it keeps popping out?
If I put the old one in it’s fine. I have tried several new filters and it’s the same with all.
If you don't change filter....will it cause your fridge to constantly stay on? Cause I had food go bad cause it's not cold enough... so I had to put food in freezer and the freezer is not cold enough... but cold enough for the refrigerator food.
Do you test your water after changing the filter and running 4 gallons?
I did and it has a high number of contaminates
This is easy enough to learn, however when we lift up the filter door the filter does not pop out. We can't get the filter out at all.
Thanks for your help,I really appreciated.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻job done.
Just ordered this fridge. Had an issue with the freezer door sticking out further than the fridge side due to thicker weatherstripping. I have a replacement coming. Hopefully its not a common problem. Do your doors close evenly side by side or does the freezer side stick out a bit like its not fully closed, even though it is?
My nice whirlpool stopped making ice! I can hear the motor kick on trying to "make ice" but no ice. I've change the only water filter like the one you are showing us but, that hasn't help. Can you help me?
I have had a Whirlpool refrigerator for three years, but I have never used the ice maker or water dispenser. However, the filter light is still on. Under such circumstances, I do not belive I even need to install a new one. Am I right? Thanks!
I get the feeling that when I replace anything to do with water, I turn it off before replacing a component. Is this true for this filter?
Hi! Thank you for the video on how to install. I have the same fridge as you and did exactly as you instructed but it’s still saying that I need to order a new filter on the screen. Will it go away once I have taking the 4 gallons out?
Same problem. Do I need to resset anything?
He goes over how to reset screen here: th-cam.com/video/NJudcc8o5xc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! How often do you switch the water filter?
We replace ours about every 6 months, but it depends on how much water you’re running through it each week.
@@HandyHudsoniteThank you! Your videos are helpful
great video. Thank you. HOw do you clear the Order filter warning message?
Hold the temperature button inside the fridge for 5secs
That's in another video: th-cam.com/video/NJudcc8o5xc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the info. How long should the filter last? Seems my last one lasted 3 months before the notice came on to replace.
Supposed to be about 6 months. Depends on how many people. I am just one person and it lasts 6 months for me.
i appreciate your video on changing filter. When i changed the filter, i am getting a leak from the filter area. I tried to buy another filter and still leaks, whats your opinion
Thanks for your question, Ziyad. It sounds to me that you might have a leak at the seal of where the filter connects into the line. You may want to inspect back there to see if the seal is broken or not seated properly or some other issue is going on. The fact the second filter also leaks leads me to believe it's with a part in your fridge. Hope this helps.
Mine leaked about a tablespoon of water, I think it's normal
Where do I buy the black cap that goes on the end of the filter? Mine is missing. Thank you much for your response!
I bought an off brand replacement filter that corresponded to my model. It went in and worked fine, but now i can't get it out. It doesn't pop out it should. It won't turn or budge in any direction. Any suggestions?
Just an FYI for those who have a different water filter configuration: After searching for the non-existent upper right corner water filter, I read further in my instruction manual and discovered that mine filter is down at the "base grill" of the refrigerator, literally an inch off the floor. Nice, Whirlpool, we seniors just love having to crawl on the floor and stand on our heads to do otherwise simple maintenance!
Did you turn off water valve before removing the water filter?
Hello question. I got this Whirlpool and wonder if I need a water filter at all as I have the osmosis water supply for the fridge. I got this fridge last year and don't even know if there is a filter inside. In case there is a filter can I just remove the old filter without installing a new one? Thanks
Does it have to be the same filter or can it be a different one that supports the same fridge?
After replacing the filter, the water comes out super slow. How do you fix that?
I have a whole house water system installed, can this Whirlpool WRS588FIHZ00 fridge be used without its built-in water filter?
Thanks HH. Did this just now. Subscribed
You're welcome, Mike! Glad this helped you to get the filter job done. I really appreciate you supporting my channel. Many thanks.
I guess mine is broke and it doesn’t come out when i pull up on the cover. I can’t pull it out with my hands. What to do?
Does anyone ever have white sludge start coming out of the water dispenser after putting this filter in??
So Everytime u change the filter u hav 2 purge the 1st 4 gallons out? What about the ice? Do u purge that too? Plz let me know ASAP!!! Plz...☹
Thank you. Now I got that done.
When installing filter sping in door came out and i have no idea how to get the spring back in right place
My latch assembly broke so it would not pull out the old filter and the doors is flopping. I was able to grip the old filter with a channellock pliers and pull it out. I thought it was wrecked but I pushed the new one in and the door still snaps and locks shut. It went in firm and so I don't think water pressure will pop it out but I am watching it. It is working now.
This helped alot. Thank you sir
Any idea why on the 3 month old fridge after changing filter and draining just about gallon of water, now no water will come out. Hear buzzing but that’s about it
found you on ho to turn off light...Thanks!
Glad I could help!
That is great but I can’t get my filter door to snap back into place, it stays open, how do I get it to close?
Put a little pressure on it to snap it into place
Erica Lovett , my bus and was finally able to get it to snap closed, not easy, shouldn’t be that hard.
Great to hear you got it in. Yeah, it can be a little tricky getting that door closed.
Thanks for the input here, Erica.
Hey thanks, you made this a snap!
I have the same refrigerator. when I begin to run the water the filter keeps popping out
I dont know what to do
I'm flushing the system after installing the new filter. The water is getting hot while I do it. Is this normal?
Does it take a while to make ice after new filter install?
Thanks. Nice job.
My refrigerator is new and got it set up but the filter door keep popping out
I have the same refrigerator. Does that fridge need a bypass cap if I already have filtered water?
Thank you! exactly the same as my refrigerator! thank you very much.
You're welcome, Kathleen.
Add the same refrigerator to. But you really expect me to change the $50-60 filter every six months. This sounds like a scam. How does this filter no it needs to be replaced? I do have a in-line filter before the refrigerator, that filter supposed to replaced every 5-10 years.
What do you do with the old filter?
I accidentally jammed my water filter in my whirlpool refrigerator. How can I get it out? The door of the filter pocket won’t close now.
My filter won't come out. Filter door doesn't help push it out. Help
I put in a new filter and my order filter light won’t go out. Any ideas? Replaced with same filter
I just bought a used fridge like yours. The water worked at the guys house but I get it home and it didn't. It did not have a filter in it. I just went and bought a filter, installed it and the water still does not work!
Are you sure the water is hooked up properly to your water line? How was the fridge transported? Did you make sure to transport it with the fridge upright, not laying down on its side?
@@HandyHudsonite yep. Everything was hooked up right. Transported upright on a trailer. It's weird cuz when you first hot the water, it spits out just a little then stops.
@@HandyHudsonite we got it working! We replaced the inlet Valve and now it works. Not we have to figure out the ice maker.
@@AkronKid330 Great job! You're making great progress!
Thanks for the video... this is great! I can't find the filter for this Whirlpool Model. Any tips? WRS325SDHZ08
I have this exact model and replaced the filter and the water is coming out hot like bath water!
how do you keep the replace light from being on
Watch my other video on how to reset that light: Reset Refrigerator "Replace Water Filter" Indicator Light - Whirlpool | Handy Hudsonite

How do you change the regular filter on the top left? I have the same fridge.
The arrows on the end of the filter point up.
Finally!
Someone else here who has noticed that... They match the end of the Filter Cover, which also points up 👍
I have model # GSF26C5EXW00 Whirlpool Gold side-by-side refrigerator, and the filter is freezing, causing no water to dispense and no ice made. I know it is the filter freezing because I take filter out, let it warm up, replace it, and then the water works again. How do I fix this. I have found nothing on internet addressing this problem - I have seen problems addressed dealing with pumps, filter attachment, lines, and what not, but nothing dealing with freezing water filter.
Charlie, that's an interesting issue. Are you sure you don't have the fridge temp too cold? Also, have you tried a different filter to see if you experience the same issue? Is there ice buildup in your freezer that may be contributing to this?
I can’t find the link to get water filter from amazon
Can you use a Kenmore filter instead of an Everydrop filter?
I have an RO system, do I really need to replace these throw away filters?
