Locate your water filter cover in the upper right-hand corner inside your refrigerator or in the base grille. Lift the filter door up. Pull the filter out and discard it. Open your new filter and remove the protective coverings from the O-rings.
Many refrigerators with a water filter have a "replace filter" indicator light for the water filter cartridge on the dispenser control panel. This is often a timed function rather than a sensor that determines the filter's capacity. Some refrigerator models use a water filter with a RFID chip in the filter.
Not all ice makers use filtered water to make ice. Furthermore, not all fridges with ice makers come with fridge filters; it depends on the specific model. However, most modern refrigerators come with an in-built filter to ensure you get the best ice quality from your machine.
The air filter is located on the rear wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment. Air filters are available at some retailers, including Amazon.
Without a functioning air filter, your refrigerator can become a breeding ground for harmful microorganisms that can contaminate your food and cause health issues.

Any refrigerator that makes ice and/or dispenses cold drinking water has a water filter. This is a necessary part of the fridge that ensures the ice or water that enters your glass is clean and safe to drink.
Not all refrigerators have air filters, but most newer models do. An air filter cleans the air in your fridge, preventing odors and food contamination from bacteria.
Because they're susceptible to the build up of dirt and debris, old fridge water filters may not be able to prevent contaminants from tainting drinking water as well. To ensure drinkable, fresh tasting water for your family, be sure to change your fridge's water filter every six months.
You will find the model number on a sticker or rating plate. This can usually be found on an inner panel behind the salad drawer, or on an internal wall within the fridge.
These grille-mounted filters generally come out and install very easily. If you feel it is stuck, it may be because you haven't turned it the right way or are not pushing the button all the way in.
With the filter removed, the water system will continue to operate, bypassing the filter, and the clogged filter will not cause slow water dispensing or low ice production. However, you will need to install a new filter to have filtered water. REMINDER: Make sure you flush the system after replacing your water filter.
Most refrigerators will have an indicator light to tell you when it's time to replace the water filter. The water filter should be changed when the filter status light/indicator (if applicable) located on the temperature control panel alerts you that the filter needs to be changed.
Depending on the model of Whirlpool refrigerator that you have, you will have one of four different filters. All of them will have a number printed on them.
No - filters are not always used on models that have icemakers. Filters are less common on top- and bottom-freezer models, and more common on side-by-side and French-door models.
Failing to change the filter can strain the refrigerator's water filtration system and reduce its overall efficiency. This may lead to potential issues, such as decreased ice production or slower water dispensing, affecting the refrigerator's lifespan.
Yes, you can use your refrigerator without a water filter. However, it's important to understand that this puts your appliance at risk of damage due to impurities in the water line.
