Parts for Maytag AFI2538AEB3: 08 - Dispenser Front Parts

The Water Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to filter and purify the water for your refrigerator, ensuring clean and fresh drinking water and ice.

A bad refrigerator water filter can be caused by regular use and the buildup of contaminants over time. It may also become less effective if not replaced according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule.

Symptoms of a bad refrigerator water filter include:

• A decrease in water flow or water pressure.
• An unpleasant taste or odor in the water.
• The presence of particles or sediment in the water.
• Cloudy or discolored ice cubes.

If you notice any of these signs or if it has been more than six months since your last filter replacement, it's time to replace the refrigerator water filter with this genuine OEM part. This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This ice dispenser chute extension mounts beneath the freezer-door dispenser opening to guide cubes or crushed ice straight into your glass. Replacing a cracked or missing extension improves dispensing accuracy and helps keep the dispenser area cleaner. What it does:

• Restores proper reach/clearance for taller containers
• Typical symptoms: missing piece, cracked/broken tabs, ice spilling past the glass

• One black chute extension

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Open the freezer door; align the extension's tabs with the slots under the ice chute and snap firmly into place
• Do not force the part to avoid damaging tabs or the door liner
• Dispense a small amount of ice to confirm a secure fit and proper alignment

• Use the correct nut driver or socket for the hex head to avoid rounding
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
