I have a year old Whirlpool WRX986SIHZ02 french door fridge with the in-door ice maker. I have 2 problem that I think are likely related (but maybe not):
1) Water dispenser works fine but it's very loud, especially heard in the tubing on the top left door side of unit. I assume air getting into the water tubing. I've replaced the filter 4 times now using only the $60 OEM EDR2RXD1 and the 2nd filter had no noise issues, but the other 3 do. I've reseated it 100 times but no luck. No other issues other than this loud annoying noise when dispensing water, but...
2) I use a lot of ice every day and I frequently find the ice maker stops making ice. No error codes for any of the ice making service menu items, but there is no water released into the ice making unit itself. I can feel this w/my finger. I can run service test 45 to dispense water to ice maker but no water arrives. I can tell this since the ice tubing noise isn't there and also can feel no water in the tray w/finger. At some point, it will refill the ice tray and I'll get some ice for a period.
Could the air (presumably) in the water lines cause this issue? Where could air be getting in the water line beyond the seal for the water filter when installed?
