I’ve been able to replace the water filter in my Hotpoint HSS25GFPJWW many times without any fuss, but I’m not sure what is going on this time.
I’m having trouble getting water to dispense after installing a new Brita MWF filter. (This is the same filter I have been using for years.) When I screw in the filter, I hear a pressurization noise, and when I hit the water button on the door, nothing happens. If I try to remove the filter, there is a loud pop, water everywhere, and what looks like air/gas from the filter, indicating that I’ve relieved some pressure in the process.
I’ve been able to repeat this a number of times. Putting in the old filter ends with the same results. The only thing I can think of is that I filled the new filter with water per the instructions. (I never did that when changing the filter previously.) For what it’s worth, I changed the main board a few months ago, but everything (ice/water) was working fine up until today.
Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
