What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Refrigerator Water Filter Replacement?
Most modern refrigerators with water and ice use:
A built-in filter cartridge (inside the fridge or grille), or
An inline cartridge on the water supply line, sometimes in addition to the built-in filter.
These filters help:
Reduce chlorine, taste, and odors.
Trap some fine sediment and particles.
Protect solenoids, valves, and ice maker components from debris.
Over time they clog or exhaust, which can:
Let more taste and odor through.
Cause slow or weak flow at the dispenser.
Increase stress on fridge valves and lines.
Replacing them keeps your fridge water and ice quality where it should be.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
We know the plumbing side: We handle shutoffs, supply lines, and inline filters—not just the cartridge.
Brand-flexible service: We work with most common fridge brands and filter styles.
Leak-conscious approach: We turn off water, release pressure, and check connections after replacement.
Can upgrade beyond OEM: Where appropriate, we can combine fridge filters with dedicated inline filtration.
Local pros: Nevada License #0047021, serving Las Vegas-area homes since 1991.

Common Situations Where Fridge Filter Replacement Makes Sense
Your fridge filter light is on or has been for a while.
Water or ice has more chlorine taste, “plastic” taste, or odd odors.
The dispenser has slower flow or spits air.
Ice cubes look cloudier than usual and pick up off flavors quickly.
You’ve never replaced the filter since moving in or buying the fridge.
Fridge & Filter Identification
We identify your fridge make and model, locate the built-in filter and any inline filter, and find the water shutoff for the refrigerator.
Shutoff & Depressurization
We turn off the water to the fridge, relieve pressure at the dispenser, and prepare the system so the filter can be safely removed without sprays or drips.
Old Filter Removal & Line Check
We remove the old built-in cartridge (and inline filter if present), inspect for debris or damage, and look over visible supply lines and fittings for early leak signs.
New Filter Installation & Reassembly
We install the correct replacement filter(s)—properly seated and locked in place—then check that fittings and lines are secure behind or under the fridge.
Water Restoration, Flushing & Leak Check
We restore water to the fridge and flush the new filter per manufacturer guidelines (often several gallons), while checking for drips or leaks at the filter, supply line, and shutoff.
Basic Performance & Taste Check
We confirm steady flow at the dispenser, verify the filter light can be reset (where applicable), and discuss how soon you can expect fresh-tasting water and ice once initial flushing is complete.
What’s Included
A typical refrigerator water filter replacement may include:
Identification of fridge filter type and location (built-in and/or inline)
Safe shutoff and depressurization of the fridge water line
Removal and disposal of the old fridge filter(s)
Installation of properly matched new filter cartridge(s)
System flushing and leak checks at the fridge, supply line, and shutoff
Simple guidance on replacement timing and filter light/reset behavior
(Exact scope depends on fridge brand, filter style, and whether you also have dedicated inline filtration.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Cost and timing depend on:
Filter style: Simple twist-in or push-in OEM filter vs external inline cartridge system.
Brand and model: Some fridges use proprietary, higher-cost filters.
Access: Freestanding fridge vs tight alcoves, built-ins, or limited rear access.
Extra work: Replacing old shutoff valves, brittle lines, or adding/upgrading inline filters if needed.
We’ll give you a clear estimate for labor and filters before we start, and let you know if we see any risk areas that should be addressed while we’re there.
Insurance & Claims Help
Fridge water lines and filters are one of the most common leak sources in a home.
If a leak or water damage event occurs:
We can identify whether the problem came from the filter, line, or shutoff.
Provide itemized invoices and repair/replacement estimates.
Answer plumbing-related questions from your insurance adjuster, landlord, or property manager.
Your insurer and policy always decide coverage; we provide clear plumbing documentation.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
A refrigerator water filter is helpful, but:
It mainly handles basic taste, odor, and some particles—not all contaminants.
It does not soften water or fix whole-home scale issues.
For concerns like PFAS, lead, or broader water quality, you may want under-sink RO or whole-house treatment in addition.
Old, brittle plastic lines or fittings feeding the fridge may need upgraded tubing or valves, not just a new filter.
We’ll be honest if your setup would benefit from additional filtration or plumbing upgrades.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-conscious plumbing: Any shutoff, tubing, or valve work follows Nevada plumbing code and good practice.
Proper filter matching: We use filters suited to your fridge brand and water line configuration.
Secure, neat lines: Supply lines are routed to be secure and protected, reducing future leak risks.
Clean work area: We keep the floor and surrounding cabinets as clean and dry as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace my refrigerator water filter?
Most manufacturers recommend about every 6 months, but heavy use, local water conditions, or small cartridges may justify more frequent changes.
Do I really have to change the filter if water still looks clear?
No single filter can. Under-sink filters typically focus on sediment and taste/odor (chlorine). For more advanced contaminant reduction, RO or specialty systems may be recommended.
Can you add a better inline filter in addition to my fridge filter?
Often yes. We can install a dedicated inline or multi-stage filter on the fridge supply line for extra taste/odor improvement.
What if my filter is stuck or won’t come out?
We handle stuck filters and housings carefully to avoid cracking them and can replace damaged parts or lines if needed.
Will replacing the filter fix slow dispenser flow?
If the filter is clogged, replacement often helps a lot. If not, we’ll check valves, lines, and pressure for other issues.
