WPW10394053 Whirlpool Water Filter Housing

The Water Filter Housing is a genuine OEM part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. It serves as the enclosure for the water filter cartridge, which is essential for removing impurities from the water, ensuring the water dispensed is clean and safe to drink. This component is compatible with several brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, and also fits certain Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models.<br /><br />Indicators of a malfunctioning housing may include visible cracks or leaks around the seal, challenges in installing new filter cartridges, or an increase in mineral deposits or sediment in the water. Such issues typically arise from normal wear and tear due to regular replacement of filters, or could be due to impact damage or moisture getting into the housing, which over time diminishes its effectiveness.<br /><br />Maintaining the integrity of the filter housing is crucial for protecting the filter cartridge and facilitating straightforward replacement. To ensure optimal water quality and prolong the effectiveness of your filter system, it is recommended to use an original Whirlpool replacement housing. This will help in maintaining the performance and longevity of your refrigerator's water dispensing functionality.
