It was time to replace the water filter (4396841 EDR3RXD1) Tried 3 different generic and finally an OEM. None of them work. Tried pre filling them. Nothing. Put the old filter in and it works great. We have compared the old and new but can't find any difference. Help please
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Issue has been resolved. I filed the solid plastic stem a couple times. It was a millimeter too long and would not let the prongs seat properly.

Thank you for following up and posting a solution.
As crazy as this idea sounds, it worked for me. I could not get my correct model number filter 9083 to pop into place. I filed down the stem near the inlet and outlet around an 1/8th of an inch - The filter popped into place perfectly.
Unfortunately, I had no idea the filter hadn't been seated correctly and filtering water the first time it was installed. The first clue was that there was no water in the filter when I pulled it out. The good news is it's working now - the bad news is our ice maker has been making ice with city swamp water for the past year :p

Examine the original filter carefully for overall length, distance between inlet and outlet ports, O-rings and their locations. Compare with the OEM replacement. Be sure the two O-rings remain on each filter after removal from the refrigerator. There may be a sensor to detect faulty alignment or poor mechanical connection to prevent water flow, resulting in water on the floor. If O-rings aren't missing, perhaps a Q-tip with a little vegetable oil swabbed onto each O-ring may allow lubrication to allow better fitment of replacement filters.
