Hi All -
Just wondering if anyone has experience with side-by-side fridges and their water filters.
I had my fridge for a year before the light changed and I had to change my filter. We use *TONS* of water and ice. The ice bucket used to fill up in a day and the water flow was adequate (but not exceptional).
As soon as we changed the filter, we noticed a slow-down in the flow of the water and how quickly the ice was being made. We thought the water pressure in our area was being affected by our water shortage, so we just kind of ignored it. Now it is the fall, no more water shortages and the flow seems worse. I removed the filter - and YEP - heavy water flow. So, it is the filter, now, what's the problem with it? I am pretty confident it's installed correctly (I hear a vaccuum sound each time I put it in and turn it). Perhaps it was a faulty filter or clogged from day one?
Does anyone know if buying a new filter will solve this? It was expensive ($50) and is now 4 months old - I doubt the parts place will exchange it for me (BUT, the label does say it should last for 6 - 12 months, and the Green indicator light is still on).
Do you think I have a case to demand a new filter free of charge? What could be the problem if the new filter does not help increase the flow?
Thanks, Paula
