Your refrigerator’s water filter puts a lot of effort into keeping your drinking water pure and flavorful. It has to be regularly replaced; we advise doing it once every six months or so, in order to maintain it that way. Finding your filter and swapping it out for a new one is simple. Learn where to quickly locate and change the Whirlpool® refrigerator water filter in the following paragraphs.

Find the authorized water filter for your Whirlpool® refrigerator by looking at the number written on it.

Care advice: Once you are aware of the kind of your filter, think about subscribing to have a new filter sent to you automatically every three or six months.
