Refrigerator Water Tasting Off? 00750673 Water Filter – Fix Filtration Fast
If your refrigerator water tastes or smells off, dispenses slowly, or your filter indicator light is on, the water filter is the direct cause. In most Bosch refrigerators, the internal water filter is the sole barrier against sediment, chlorine, and contaminants — when it clogs or expires, water quality and flow degrade immediately. ⚡ One of the most common maintenance replacements in Bosch-built refrigerators. Part 00750673 is the genuine OEM replacement filter that restores clean, great-tasting water and full dispenser flow rate.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Refrigerator powers on and cooling functions normally
- ✔ Ice maker and dispenser mechanism are operational
- ✔ Water supply line and shut-off valve confirmed open and flowing
- ✔ Filter indicator light is on, or filter has not been replaced in 6+ months
- ✔ ONLY problem is poor water taste, odour, reduced flow, or active filter warning

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Water from dispenser tastes or smells like chlorine or plastic — most common complaint
- Filter indicator light or “Change Filter” alert active on display
- Reduced water flow or slow dispenser output
- Ice cubes have an off taste or odour
- Water appears slightly cloudy or discoloured
- It has been 6 months or more since the last filter replacement
✔ If these symptoms match, the water filter is the most likely cause in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing the water filter restores full flow and clean taste immediately.
📦 Part Details
- Part Number: 00750673
- Type: OEM internal refrigerator water filter cartridge
- Replaces: OEM direct-fit filter — supersedes 00655179, 00752595 (no modification required)
- Brands: Bosch
After installing the new filter, run 2–3 gallons of water through the dispenser to flush air and carbon fines before drinking. If your dispenser has a water line or inlet valve that hasn’t been inspected recently, this is a good time to check for mineral buildup or slow-drip leaks.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 5–10 minutes. No tools required and no need to shut off water supply for most models. Locate the filter housing inside the refrigerator (typically upper right corner of the fridge compartment), twist the old filter counterclockwise to release, insert the new 00750673 and twist clockwise until it locks. Reset the filter indicator light per your model’s instructions after installation.
💡 Pro Tip
Bosch recommends replacing the water filter every 6 months or 300 gallons — whichever comes first. A phone reminder set at install time costs nothing and ensures you never drink from an expired filter. Keeping a spare 00750673 on hand means zero downtime when the next change is due.
