Where is the water filter located? - Amana ARB1917CSR Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

Hello Dwane;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

You did not provide a model number of your unit. The water filter location is dependent on the model number. The model number is located on a label on the inside of the fresh food section liner.

You have a bottom freezer. In general the water filter is located in the upper right hand corner of you right side fresh food section.

You may have a screw on the side panel to remove the cover, or some retainer clips, of which you must squeeze the cover housing to remove, or you may have free access.

Once locating, or accessing the water filter, grab the base and turn 1/4 turn clockwise to release and pull down. Insert the new water filter, insert and turn counter wise to the right.

Purge the air out of the filter system. Water filters are dry and have air in them. With your water dispenser fill several cups until al of the air is purged out. There will spiriting sounds.

You replace your water filter when you notice your ice cubes are small & when the water flow from your dispenser is low. The change water indicator light is a timer. It is set to cycle every six months. It is like a egg timer. It is not connected to anything.
Depending on the size of your family, and the usage you may need to change the water filter every six months or every 1-1/2- 2 years.

Do you have a manual for the refrigerator to check he same

Removing and replacing a water filter

There are two different types of Maytag brand water filters. Each one is removed in a different manner, depending entirely on where it is located in your refrigerator. There are two main locations. Select your filter location from the options below for specific removal and replacement directions.

1. The upper right corner of the refrigerator compartment.



2. In the center of the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment.

Hello Dollar1392,

I understand that you can not locate the water filter for your unit. If you have a water filter in your unit it will be located in one of two locations at the bottom of the unit in the grille or in the top of the refrigerator section on the right side in the rear corner. If the filter is not located at one of these locations then there is no filter on your unit. You will need to put an in-line filter in your water supply line.

Hi.The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the fresh food compartment. You will need to turn the filter, counterclockwise, to release it form the housing.

HI. Frist, make sure that your unit is equipped with this feature. if you have varifyed that your unit is equipped with a filter fo this nature, the location will be on teh front, lower grille area. This is the most common location for a water filter. Simply kneel down, and look at the bottom section of your unit, on the front. There is a grill, with a circular cut-out. This will be where the filter is housed. You will need to turn the handle counter-clockwise to release.

Now, in newer units, the filter will be located inside the refrigerator compartment, just above the top shelf, in the right, or left corner. if both locations do not show a filter, check the backside of the unit for a 8 inch cylindrical device.

This particular water filter is known as a ``in line water filter`` and is located at the BOTTOM of the fridge at the LEFT hand side. located in the grill at the bottom. first you must remove the filter cap and then It simply twists out for easy replacement. part number for the water filter is 2255519. and should be replaced based on a 6 month period or the amount of water filtered. hope this helps

Thanks

The water filter is located in the
upper right-hand corner of the fresh
food compartment.
1. Remove blue bypass cap and
retain for later use.
2. Remove sealing label from end
of filter and insert into filter head.
3. Rotate gently clockwise until
filter stops. Snap filter cover
closed.
4. Reduce water spurts by
flushing air from system.
Run water continuously for
two minutes through
dispenser until water runs steady. During initial
use, allow about a one- to two-minute delay in
water dispersal to allow internal water tank to fill.

The base grille water filter is located below the freezer
compartment door. Depending on your model, you may have a filter that is installed behind the base grille or a filter that is installed through the base grille.

Hi, The filter is located behind the kickplate. You can see the handle for the filter in the kick plate. I believe you turn the filter handle Counter clock wise to remove it. It will tke a little bit of force. Yes this filters the water in the door.
Let me know If I canassist you further. Thanks
