Home Improvement Asked on May 1, 2021
My filter system is leaking and I have switched off water supply to it for now. As a result I am not getting water in refrigerator as well. My refrigerator doesn’t have filter inside it, this is the one that is connected to it.
My question is should replacing these filters pretty much fix the problem or I need a plumber?
Also how do I shop for new filters? Mine has a set of three as you can picture and the middle one appears to be a different size. It has code 11350 written on it. Is that how I identify new filter? Are there any compatible ones? I guess they may a standard type?

We can not answer that for you but you can.
Why don't you try replacing it and find out, unless you have money to burn, then call a plumber. Replacing the filter is the smart thing to do, it should be done regularly anyway.

Filter are coded But i am not sure that 11350 is the code for the filter. There is code at the top that is difficult to read but it may be Wheerm
there may be others that are compatible. You should ask whirlpool
As far as the leak goes, you should turn off the valve that supply's water to the filters and remove the filters, inspect the rubber gasket on the filter housing and inspect the filter to see if it is FULL. (clogged) Filters filter so it can get "full" of the stuff it is filtering.

The name on the filter says it is a reverse osmosis filter commonly referred as RO.
these are not normally replaced but back flushed. Identifying the point of leakage we may well be able to answer you but not with the information provided. The RO systems I have worked on use high pressure to force the water through the membrane so there could be a seal that has deteriorated. The label mentions a pre filter if that has been replaced the o-ring seal may have been damaged so identifying the leak , and possibly replacing an o ring would be the proper method.
