Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Reduced water-dispensing flow
• Unpleasant taste or odor in dispensed water or ice
• Water may sputter or briefly drip after filter replacement if air remains in the system
• Filter-status indicator signals replacement is due
• Water dispenser does not operate when the filter is not fully locked into the housing

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the filter-status indicator or elapsed service interval indicates replacement is due.
• Verify that the cartridge is the correct filter style and is fully seated and locked in the refrigerator housing.
• Inspect the cartridge connection area for displaced O-rings or remaining protective packaging covers before installation.
• Dispense water and compare flow with the refrigerator’s normal flow; do not force a restricted cartridge.
• After installation, flush the water system according to the refrigerator instructions and reassess taste, odor, and flow.
• If the filter remains stuck, follow the refrigerator owner’s manual and Whirlpool’s stuck-filter guidance rather than applying excessive force.
