Thread: Maytag Water Dispenser Issue, vibrating

What I usually say is if your mechanically inclined and have fixed other things around your house, then you should be able to do it.

Hey Jake,

I got my part but am not sure how to disconnect the filter head from the water valve. In a different post you mentioned posting instuctions but I cannot find them

Water Filter Assembly
1. Remove filter cover opening cover and pulling rear left
side of cover to the left to release cover from holding
pin.
2. Filter head can be released from holding bracket by
opening tabs on left side filter head and pulling
downward and to your left to release filter head.
3. Tubing needs to be disconnected from water valves
in the machine compartment. (see water valve
removal)
4. After tubing is loose from water valves pull the filter
head and tubing out the front of unit.
5. Reverse procedure to reassemble.

NOTE: Make sure to note tubing end colors when
reinstalling new head and tubing assembly.

Thanks Jake but I must be missing the link somehow. In your directions there is a part that says "(see water valve removal)". Am I supposed to be able to click on this? If so, it appears in regular text for me (I cannot click on it) and I do not see a link to water valve removal anywhere else on the post?

Thanks
Jay

Jake one addtional question. My brother was looking at the wate head filter and was concerned about pulling the filter through the styrofoam piece leading into the fridge. Should this be of concern? I don't see any mention of it in your instructions.

Thanks
Jay

Here you go:

Water Valve Removal
1. Remove water valve cover plate on left side of
machine compartment in the back of the refrigerator(Pull the refrigerator out from the wall first)
2. Disconnect wiring from water valve, reference color of
connector to correct solenoid.
3. Disconnect water tubing from water valve, reference or
mark tubing to ensure correct hookup upon
reassemble.
4. Remove hex screw attaching valve to water valve cover
plate.
5. Reverse procedure to reassemble.

Then when you posted the photo of your model# tag, I still didn't see the inverted 5 & 6.

I'm experiencing the same symptoms with my MAYTAG fridge. My model is MFI2568AEW. Its French door style with water and ice on the left door. Would the part mentioned above fit my model as well?

Thx,
Jay

Hi Jay,

No, your model uses this one here:
Manufacturer's Number: 12956202


Unfortunately I don't have the instructions to tell you how to do it on this model.

Jake - My Jenn Air is experiencing the exact same problems. Could you tell me which part I need for my specific model?

Model # JSD2695KES

Let me know if you need more information in order to answer. Thanks much! - Carter
