Mike K February 18, 2021 for Model Number EI26SS55GS1 Will this Frigidaire water filter base AP3687338 fit an Electrolux side by side model Ei26ss55gs1 refrigerator.
Jeff July 02, 2020 for Model Number FFHS2611PFEA I removed the filter because it was frozen. When l got up the next morning water was all in the refrigerator and the kitchen floor. I noticed that if I push the lever for water without the filter installed, water comes out of the filter base. I find no cracks or damage to the base. Is this a base problem or solenoid valve?
1 Answer Jeff, this is going to be a failure with the filter housing base 242009604 as it should not allow water to go through due to a built-in stopper. Read More...
Scott June 23, 2020 for Model Number FRS6L9EESS1 My water dispenser continuously leaks and will fill up a glass in about a day. With this normal I mean the water inlet valve needs to be replaced or the Water filter base?
Michael Murphy April 15, 2020 for Model Number FGTC2349KS2 We have a residential refrigerator in our RV. When it was winterized last year, the shop failed to winterize the water lines in the refrigerator. Needless to say, I have water flowing from just about everywhere. In looking at the parts breakdown, I noticed most of the water lines are clear as opposed to the color-coding that is used from the factory. Are the replacement water lines color-coded to match the originals or will I have to tag them at the valve as they are replaced? Also, the water tank on the parts manual shows a vertical orientation. The one in our unit is horizontal. Is this just for illustration purpoases, or is it a different tank?
1 Answer Michael M, You will need to mark the lines as the replacements are not color-coded. The water tank can go either direction in which it fits. Read More...
Harli February 26, 2020 for Model Number ew23bc85ks7 I confused the clear hose and the brown hose connections when replacing . When looking from the front the connections are up and down and not left and right. Do you know which port the brown hose connects to, top or bottom? Thx
1 Answer Harli, viewing from the front of the refrigerator, the tan water tube attaches to the right side/lower tube connection and the clear tube attaches to the left side/bottom tube connector. The video attached to part number 240396002 will be very helpful to installing the water filter base assembly. Thanks, Read More...
Bob August 04, 2019 for Model Number GLRS234ZAB4 My water dispenser and ice maker are not getting water. When I push on the valve on the right lower side of the filter base water squirts out. Does this mean the base needs replaced. I installed a new OER filter and still have no water.
1 Answer Bob, the base 240396002 would need to be replaced if it is leaking and the filter has been verified as seating fully into the base. What this would indicate is that the bypass valve in the filter base is not setting properly and causing pressure build-up at the filter stem. Read More...
Mike June 05, 2018 for Model Number Electrolux EW23CS65GS1 Side-by-Side Refrigerator When replacing my water filter base, I forget which side the clear hose connected to vs the darker hose. It is a Electrolux EW23CS65GS1 Side-by-Side Refrigerator Any help would be appreciated
1 Answer Mike, The darker hose would go on the right side as you are looking at it from the front and the clear would go to the left. Read More...
Joe January 27, 2018 for Model Number Frs526h5asb5 Installed 240396002 and new filter fills with water but no water is dispensing? Is there another problem.
1 Answer Joe, You will want to check to see if the fill tube is frozen in the door by disconnecting the water tube at the bottom of the hinge and pushing the dispenser lever. If the water does not come out of the tube coming from under the refrigerator then check for a frozen water tank and then if this checks ok then the issue will be a faulty water valve. Read More...
Brad January 25, 2018 for Model Number FRS23H5ASB8 My Frigidaire was continuously pouring water from the filter, causing a lot of water inside. I replaced the base as your site suggested with no issues. However, it is still spewing water when I either, try to use the water dispenser or leave the ice maker on. I have not replaced the filter. Could that be the issue? If not, would the installation of a filter bypass work? Would that still allow me to use the ice maker? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Brad, You should check the water lines and filter for any possible cracks. If the issue is being caused by a cracked water line, replacing the water filter with a bypass will not help. Also, the water lines should be checked where they enter the filter base since, if not fully inserted or if there are "ridges" formed in the water lines, they may not be sealing properly. If a filter bypass were installed it would not affect the icemaker operation. Read More...
Kevin Thompson December 01, 2017 for Model Number FGHB2844LF5 This unit is not making ice or giving water at the door. When I call for water at the door I get water in the line from the output side of the filter fine. The line then runs into the back of the fridg in the center with three lines going in I think it goes into the fridge to chill the water I get nothing out from those lines. Is there a reservoir that these lines go to that could be frozen? I can't find a schematic of where those lines go. Thanks
1 Answer Kevin, There is a reservoir in the refrigerator that could be frozen and cause the dispenser line to freezer but the more likely cause would be a bad filter head since the icemaker and dispenser are not producing water. The reservoir is only for the dispenser. Read More...
