Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Filter 4396841

Product is really good. Ofcourse we love amazon. They are the best. But I found little difficulty in installing the product. Finally i was able to install it.

Since I had had previous experience with Pur water filters, we purchased a side-by-side water and ice dispenser Whirlpool fridge over a year ago that uses these filters and they have made a huge difference in the quality of our water. We live in Riverview, FL, a suburb of Tampa, and the water here is so foul that I sometimes wonder if I have an odor from it after I shower. Since it smelled that bad coming from the tap I knew I was not going to drink it, cook with it, nor give it to my cats. So, to save us the expense of buying bottled water, we bought the fridge. Yes, the filters are expensive, but they are Pur water filters which, in my opinion, are better than Brita. I would rather have the expense than get sick drinking nasty water. Since I use the filtered water for just about everything, I have to replace my filter more frequently, but it is well worth the cost.

To save a few bucks, I order my filter online and three at a time; this usually saves me $3-5.00 per filter. Just search for the item number of the filter and you will find several places that sell it either as a single, a three-pack, a four-pack or a six-pack. Obviously, the more you buy, the more you save.

Yes, the filter is quite expensive, but I did without mine for a month or so, because I ordered the replacement recommended by Whirlpool, which was the wrong one. So, I had to order a replacement, which meant more expense, but the quality of the water is just so much better, as well as the taste and smell of the ice. Installation is fairly easy, just make sure you have a flashlight if yours is at the floor level like mine. You have to line it up correctly. I will continue to replace mine when my refrigerator's light recommends. I won't like the expense, but I do believe it is worth it for better tasting and better smelling ice and water. I had never had water filtration in a refrigerator before, but I'm so glad that I do now.

Check closely in your refrigerator's handbook to be sure you match up the right part number, but other than that...this works! It fits just fine, functions like it should, and does what it's supposed to do.

Product arrived as advertised. These things are expensive, but they do improve water quality. This particular model is well designed. With some types, you have to shut off the water supply. With this one, it's pull out the old one and replace, that's it.
