W10862461 Whirlpool Water Filter Housing Assembly, Gray

The Water Filter Housing Assembly, available in gray, is a genuine replacement part designed for use in Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators. This component serves as the enclosure for a water filter cartridge that filters out contaminants from the water going to the ice maker and water dispenser.

Common issues that may indicate a problem with the filter housing include water leaks around the filter area, difficulty in fitting or securing a new filter cartridge, and a decline in the water quality affecting the taste or clarity of ice and beverages. These problems typically arise from physical damage such as cracks, worn threads, or shape distortion after prolonged use and frequent filter replacements.

This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part is also suitable for various models from brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible components for appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea brand names.
