The water filter is in line
after the main fridge's water valve so even
IF it needed replacing
it shouldn't create your symptom.
I can not tell what type of saddle valve that is either.
** ...has 25 gpm written on it **
Hopefully it is working that well because that pressure is borderline to begin with for a
refrigerator water valve's operation.
Sorry but I have no other ideas. I would think either the water supply pressure is not high
enough or the saddle valve might be the problem.
