How many refrigerator have a water filters?

Usually if there is water/ice through the door it will have a
filter. Some that have ice makers will also have a filter. Even if
your refrigerator does not have a filter but does have an ice maker
consider installing one in the water supply line, the installation
can be a DIY task. Note: As an example of the style of water
filter I usually install is linked below.

Ice maker Refrigerator Repair?

Most refrigerators in use today have ice makers that may stop
working from time to time. The refrigerator’s ice maker receives
its water supply from a water valve. The water valve is the first
component of the refrigerator that should be checked when there is
a malfunction with the ice maker. To operate, the ice maker closes
an electric circuit enabling the water valve to open.
Water will then flow through the water valve into the ice maker.
The ice maker will then begin the process of making ice cubes and
placing them in the ice tray. The water valve has a filter that
keeps out particles from entering into the ice maker through the
water supply. These particles can sometimes build up at the water
valve filter and may even block the flow of water to the ice
maker.
When the flow of water in the water valve is restricted due to
build up, it can cause the still water freeze in the valve. One
solution is to heat the water valve with a hair dryer to melt the
ice buildup in the ice maker. Be careful not to heat the plastic of
the refrigerator too much causing it to melt. These particles can
also lock the valve in the open position filling up the ice maker
to excess.
Sometimes an open solenoid coil winding can cause the valve to
remain closed. This will not allow the water to flow to the ice
maker as the plunger remains closed. In order to do further tests
on the refrigerator to determine the fault with the ice maker is to
test the current flow. This will not only be a safer measure for
you as you attempt to repair your ice maker, but will also ensure
the various components are operating as they should.
Your diagnosis will most likely be related to the water valve,
but if your refrigerator is old it could mean your ice maker needs
to be replaced. Occasionally the electrical connections can
sometimes get short circuited or disconnected during use.
Thoroughly examine all the parts of your refrigerator with the
proper tools and testing equipment.
