We installed a new water filter in our one year old Amana fridge model #ABD2533DEW with "Easyfill" internal water dispenser. I installed it according to instructions and all was well until trying to dispense water from the internal dispenser. It sputtered a little, as expected, and then dispensed water at the normal rate. The only problem is that it now makes a terrible high-pitched squeal every time it dispenses water. It is obviously air escaping. I tried re-installing the old filter, putting the new one back on, and running the water for several minutes (with my ears plugged). Any ideas?
Thanks.

Re:
I would suggest that you put the new water filter back in and try dispensing water for about ten minutes. If there is still a high pitched noise then you could try bleeding the water line at different points along the water circuit (with control over the incoming supply). The fact that you are forcing water through the tank should normally resolve any air locks. The water filter could also be bled of air. Hope this is of some help.

The tray that collect water is full. Remove it slowly and empty into the sink. Don't forget to put it back in the fridge. You need to do this time to time.
If your machine is only 2 months old and wasn't used when you bought it call the number on the label that has the model and serial number on it that is located either inside the refridgerator on the upper wall somewhere or somewhere on the frame. Being that whirlpool now owns Maytag, which encompasses Amana, you have a one year manufacturer warranty where parts and labor are both covered free of cost.
I'm not sure I understand your question, so forgive me if I'm incorrect. I'm confused as to wether your whirlpool has an internal filter or if you have an external stand-alone unit.
I have a samsung refridgerator and the water filter is inside the fridge located at the back on the upper right. In fact, all Samsung RAF/AES models come with this internal filter. Depending on where you buy it, often times the delivery guys will set it up for free. They will simply disconnect your old fridge, remove it , reconnect the water hose to your new Samsung and be on their way.
If you choose to do it yourself, simply remove the old fridge, follow the hose to under your sink and remove the old one. Run the new house by attaching it to the appropriate place on your sink and over to the back of the fridge. Also, many modern homes have a cold water tap behind the fridge, so you might be able to connect it there if you do.
Either way, whether you have an external unit or inyernal hose
probaly the water inlet pump behind the fridge is defective or the filters are clogged I'd change the filter first if this dosen't help i'd say change the water inlet pump
not Cooling or Fridge not Cooling
