Dwight for Model Number Whirlpool Refridgerator model 4396710 I am using an "every drop" replacement filter and it doesn't feel like it snaps in. The eject button does need to be depressed to take back out but it doesn't have the snap the old filter had. I noticed several other questions with my issue were addressed as possible bad filter housing. It appears to me that the filter is working even though it doesn't feel as tight as the original filter and I haven't seen any water leaking yet. Is it possible the replacement filter just won't have the same fit as the original filters? Seem strange that so many folks report the same experience and unlikely everyone having a bad filter housing. What do you think?
Answer Hello Dwight, The filter should not come back out without ejecting. The filter housing failure is a very common issue. I would not trust the filter in that housing. I would first try a new filter to make sure the manufacturer did not have a bad lot and if that doesn't correct the issue, replace the filter housing. I'm sorry but we will need to ask you to post a new question including the model number from your units' I.D. tag so we can recommend parts that can be guaranteed to work properly on your unit. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, September 8, 2017
