FIXED GSF26C4EXY03 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Hammering noise when dispensing water

Model Number

GSF26C4EXY03

Brand

Whirlpool

Age

6-10 years

Hello.
I have started to hear a loud hammering noise when I dispenser water from my whirlpool refrigerator. It was working fine and I replaced a filter about 2 months ago. Sometimes it works fine, but 9 times out of 10, it makes noise. Sometimes, the noise stops midway when I am filling up my water bottle. Since it was working for a couple months after filter change, I assume air in the pipe is not an issue.... Also, the water comes out in bursts, in sync with the hammering noise.

Would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks

Hi,

Here's another member that had this same problem and his uses the exact same water filter housing yours does:

FIXED - Whirlpool WSF26C3EXF01 Refrigerator water hammering when dispensing/calling for ice water

Good morning, Whirlpool WSF26C3EXF01 of unknown age So... As the title says, this fridge sounds like a machine-gun when it calls for water. I've replaced both solenoid valves. I did this as a result of my misdiagnosing a frozen drinking water tank. Got it thawed and flowing afterwards...

This is what I mentioned to him below:
When you remove the water filter on this model it bypasses the filter housing, go ahead and remove the filter and see if it still does the water hammering.

If the water hammering noise stops with no filter in it, then the problem is the water filter housing.

Here's the water filter housing for your model:
WPW10238123 Housing


Then you can see in his post #3 that was the problem.

Is there a video or something that shows how to install it?

Thanks.

 

[Jake]

Yes.



Let us know how it goes.

Thank you for video. It went well. My fridge had a cover on top of the filter housing. That threw me off a bit. However, I was able to remove the cover (it came in 3 pieces- 2 on the sides and one on the back that covered the filter). Once removed, it was just like the video.

Glad to hear that.

Thanks for the update!
