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?

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

Thanks I’m a woman in my 80s and I got the darn thing done today thanks for the tutorial

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.

Oh my goodness….. you made my daytime dilemmas so much easier. Thank you so very much. You are amazing with your tutorials!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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 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!

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!

Trying to figure this out for weeks! Thought of KZread and found you! Yay!!! Done!!! So easy-thanks

I'm a new subscriber: a great short and concise tutorial. God bless you!

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 :)

Actually, I scrolled down and saw my answer for the filter not ejecting. I'll shut off the water, give it a try. Thanks

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.

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.

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?

Thanks. Nice job.

Single ma here. THank you. Finding right filter was confusing me

Will the replace water filter sign go away on its own after you change filter and run water for the 4 gallons

I changed my filter 2 months ago and today i noticed smal water spot and a drop of water hanging of the filter cover i checked tightnes and its as tight as it can be what else could cause leaks its very tiny inside around filter so i cant get back there to look

Can you post a video about how to flush the waterline for this same refrigerator?

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?

Where do I buy the black cap that goes on the end of the filter? Mine is missing. Thank you much for your response!

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

I have the same refrigerator. when I begin to run the water the filter keeps popping out I dont know what to do

Very helpful thank you. 👏

I put in a new filter and my order filter light won’t go out. Any ideas? Replaced with same filter

Hey, just replaced my filter. What do i do with the old filter? is it okay to dispose it off with regular garbage ?

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.

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

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.

I have this exact model and replaced the filter and the water is coming out hot like bath water!

Do you test your water after changing the filter and running 4 gallons? I did and it has a high number of contaminates

Thanks for the video

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.

I'm flushing the system after installing the new filter. The water is getting hot while I do it. Is this normal?

Ok, so what if the filter is stuck in that needs to be replaced? What do I do then?

How do you change the regular filter on the top left? I have the same fridge.

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!

My refrigerator is new and got it set up but the filter door keep popping out

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.

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?

Thank you, this helped jolt my memory to use a flashlight lol

Thanks for sharing.👍💯

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! 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!

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 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.

I have the same refrigerator. Does that fridge need a bypass cap if I already have filtered water?

my old filter is stuck. i cant remove it to replace it. ive replaced it many times. this time it is stuck and it wont come out

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.

How to remove move the order filter sign after adding new filter

Thank you.

Thank you so much!! I had a mini heart attack after my water started coming out grey!! LOL

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?

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?

Did you turn off water valve before removing the water filter?

I ran the 4 gallons through the new filter, but my replace filter alarm is still going off. Help!

Does it take a while to make ice after new filter install?

Does anyone ever have white sludge start coming out of the water dispenser after putting this filter in??

When I lift the door, it doesn’t push out the filter. It seems stuck. Any suggestions?

So I have been replacing the water filter on my Whirlpool WRS571CIDM01 for 4 years now using the Everydrop #1 filter with no problems. I put it in and the water flows right away. It's that time again and I ordered the same Everydrop filter that we always do, however when I inserted it this time, the fridge made a jackhammer noise and hardly any water comes out. I know there isn't an issue with the line because I put the old one back in and it works fine. Does anyone else have this problem and have you fixed it?

what happens if I leave the filter out?

What if it’s located on the left side of your refrigerator

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.

How’s the PH level, once it goes through the filter?

How can I bypass this filter. I have reverse osmosis water system installed.
