One more winterize question

[cadbid04]

I have read the threads and haven't come across an answer for this question. I have a 2014 390-60 with a residential whirlpool refrigerator. It has a water filter in the refrigerator. I ran 2 gallons of liquid out the front of the fridge and it kept coming out clear due to the water filter i would guess? I took the filter out and there was pink stuff in the filter. It won't work without filter in it. Can I assume that since pink was coming out of every other faucet that after 2 gallons even if it didn't turn pink I would be winterized? Did anyone else have this trouble?? Thanks for your advice. Chris

Chris,
You should have removed the filter. There should have been a blue cap that you install after you removed the filter. I would remove the filter, because it is probably shot now anyway, put the cap in and run the pump for a minute or so to make sure you get the pink stuff coming out of the water tap on the fridge.

thanks Tom- Now I know what that blue thing was I just threw in a drawer. I took the filter off and had pink coming out. Good to know the filter works on pink. Chris

Time to go look for a blue cap... anyone happen to shoot a pic of this?

This is a picture of the cap installed. Remove the filter and put the cap in in place of the filter inside the refrigerator.

Thanks Tom, I'll go check the parts drawer and see if I can find it...

Chris, I did the same thing because it didn't work without the filter. I assume I'm fine because I too saw pink in the filter area. It's amazing how well the filter cleaned out the antifreeze of the fridge.
