Have you changed the water filter that supplies water to the refrigerator (dispenser and the ice maker)?

Nope since we cannot hear it for ourselves.Does anyone know what this noise is?
Poor/low pressure fills...clogged shut off valve ( esp self piercing style ), bad fill valve, tired filter, kinked line.the water dispenser flows very slowly
??Think the noise is more noticable inside the refrigerator or outside of the refrigerator?
there a motor noise and it sounds like it's working extra hard..almost a grinding sound
the noise sounds like it's coming from inside
Likely KSRS25IKWH03KSRS251KWH03
Full model# would have been best to post.2004 Kenmore (Whirlpool) 106.7xxxxxx series
Sounds like ( no pun intended ) the motor on the module...The noise comes from the gear pictured in the link jeff1 posted above that says "Do not rotate manually" on it
Likely can quieten it down for a bit with some lube, but the motor is not available seperetly and if the insurance will pay for a new part....let them.Can the motor be repaired with some proper lubrication & maintanence?
None built into the refrigerator itself.do you know if this fridge uses a water filter?
Good to know, because the fridge currently has the cheap translucent plastic hose and I recently purchased a real feed line to replace it. A plumber friend told me that if the cheap hose breaks it's major, and they tend to break over time. I think I'll splice a filter into the new line. Thanks again for the info.None built into the refrigerator itself.
Only filter it may have is an add on inline filter in the supply water line feed.
