Default Floaty things in water from Refrigerator Dispenser?
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 10653662300
Age: 1 - 4 years

So we were not vigilant on changing our filter this last time and have clearish white floaty things in the water coming out of the dispenser.

We have now changed the filter and run about 4 gallons of water through the new filter and the floaty things are still appearing.

Has anyone seen this before? Know what it is? Have a solution for us?

Thanks for any advice you can offer!

Andy

Sorry have never seen this
By your description that the particles float. They are most likely plastic.

Could be from the old filter. I would check the filter holder.

Cannot think of any other place that would produce plastic shavings but weird things do happen. I would try to find the cause ASAP, if it is something wearing or degrading in the system, you could end up with a flood
