Water not working on GE Profile French Door Refrigerator after changing filter
Model Number: PFSS6PKXASS
Brand: GE
Age: 1-5 years
I removed sticker on top, but did not fill new filter with water. Water does not dispense. I have seen a couple of drips through dispenser and hear a low hum when I press dispenser, but do not hear water or air flowing. Previous filter change was without problems.
What I have tried:
1. Replacing new filter with old filter
2. Pressing dispenser for up to 5 minutes (suggested by GE)
3. Unplugging for a few minutes and plugging back in
4. Turning supply water valve on and off

My research found some GE Profile side-by-sides that had water line freezing problem and that there is a warming kit to prevent that, but I did not find that this is a problem with french door model. I turned off circuit breaker to refrigerator. How long would it take to thaw line in 70 degree house?
I'm wondering if I damaged the housing where filter attaches. It seems like housing is tight, but there was not much room to remove filter between top shelf and filter. It's possible that I damaged housing getting filter off and on. How hard is that to replace?
Further research found this part is called Water Filer Head and has part no.
WR17X12469. Have not found replacement instructions, but part includes tubing that goes down back of fridge.
I was able to solve this annoying issue by cutting two pieces of cardboard and placing them over the water lines. The cardboard insulates the lines and keeps them from freezing up. Hope this helps.
