Michael June 27, 2017 for Model Number asr2365ac amana fridge I purchased a reverse osmosis and want to connect it to the ice maker. I purchased a bypass part number r0000009, but I cant find any advice, pdf or video on how to install it. Help!
1 Answer Michael, The part that you ordered R0000009 is a filter head assembly with the bypass plug. Just remove the bypass plug from this part and then remove the filter on the unit and put the bypass in its place. Read More...
Richard June 05, 2017 for Model Number ARS9169AS I bought this fridge with the house. The water system had been damaged and disconnected during a prior repair. I reconnected all the pipes (guessing which was which) but there's a constant whining noise coming from the filter when water is dispensed, including to the ice maker. Is this what would happen if I got the feed and return pipes reversed? I've replaced the filter and get the same thing.
1 Answer Richard, This whining noise would more likely be caused by a filter head that is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
James March 04, 2017 for Model Number SRD26VPSE I broke off nipple into filter. Do I need the entire head assembly?

Amy February 17, 2016 for Model Number kenmore 596.50399001 My water from the door was running slow and the icemaker had stopped so I replaced the filter. It worked for about 3 months and then began to trickle and the icemaker again stopped. I would assume that it is just the filter. If so can I purchase a bypass, R0000009, and resolve the issue. If not would it be another problem? If this easy to install?
1 Answer Amy, Yes if the filter is the issue then you can install the bypass and the unit will work normally. Read More...
Eldon S. August 01, 2015 for Model Number Amana Refrigerator SRD26VW Water dispenser works for 1 to 2 minutes every time after reinstalling filter or bypass valve and then stops. Is it possible the solenoid on secondary valve is weak and only working for 1 to 2 minutes and then stops? Why would releasing water pressure by reinstalling bypass allow water to flow again but only 1 to 2 minutes? The water tank isn't frozen. It appears that the secondary valve is defective but shouldn't it either work or not and not on and off? There is green jell like material on line off compressor and about a golf ball size has dropped onto bottom refrigerator plate. What could this be?
1 Answer Hello Eldon, You will need to replace the filter head R0000009 and possibly the water filter WF401S. Read More...
Eldon S. August 01, 2015 for Model Number Amana refrigerator SRD26VW Water is coming out dispenser on door initially and then not next time unless filter or bypass valve is taken off and put on again. Then it will work initially but not on next try. I tried a hair dryer on water tank for 15 minutes and then the dispenser provided water for a short time but stopped. I want to take the tank out to see if still frozen. How does tubing disconnect from water tank? Could water tube be frozen inside freezer door?
1 Answer Hello Eldon, While the water line WPB5705307 or tank R0181175 could be freezing it is actually more probable that the filter head valve is failing. This would require to replacement of the filter head R0000009 to correct the issue. Read More...
Lisa March 18, 2015 for Model Number SRD25vw I'm trying to install a water filter but I can't get the by pass head to come off. It will twist and I can see were it locks but I'm scared to pry it off ... Any ideas? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Lisa. You be able to just twist and remove the bypass from the filter head. These are tight. Read More...
Tony G March 05, 2013 for Model Number Amana SZD26VE - Broken Water Filter Housing Nozzle I bought a 5 year old used Amana Fridge the other day and the owner claims he never changed the water filter. As a result, the filter was frozen onto the nozzle that feeds up into the housing unit. When attempting to apply some pressure to remove the filter, I broke off the little nozzle. How do I repair this? Do I need to replace the whole housing?
1 Answer Tony, If the nozzle broke off the filter head then you would have to replace the filter head R0000009. To replace it is held in by one screw. Once screw is removed you would push in on the ring around the tubing and pull the water line out. When reinstalling you just push tubing into fitting. Read More...
Richard January 27, 2013 for Model Number DRS2662AW I have an Amana refrigerator model # DRS2662AW, S/N: 0105100729. I installed a reverse osmosis filter and I want to bypass the filter. In a previous inquiry, I was told I would need the Assy, Head/bypass part AP4245984 (mfg. part # R0000009). Do you have any instillation information? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Richard, We do not have instructions for installing the filter head but since you already have the filter head in the unit you would just pull the bypass out and install the bypass on the one already in unit. Read More...
Gerry July 21, 2012 I have an Amana side by side and the ice maker and water dispensor stopped working. I replaced the water valve and get water at the valve outlet but not at the door. I checked and replaced the filter and when it filled I got water at the door. I put everything together but it stopped working again. If I remove the filter and drain it it will refill and the water at the door works. If I wait and try it again it does not work. I pushed on the small metal valve button at the filter and get water but again it only works the first time and then stops. Could the valve at the filter assembly be bad?
1 Answer Hello Gerry, I would first suspect the water reservoir being frozen. Try removing the bottom drawer and putting in a hair dryer for 10 to 15 minutes and see if it will dispense water. If the ice maker water is filtered also, this will correct it also. I have also gotten restricted water filters out of the box, so if you have a filter bypass plug, you can try that. The water valve is out of the question because if it works to fill the filter, it should allow water pressure to pass through the dispenser also. Let us know if we can assist further. Read More...
