In these sorts of filters, the water passes through granules of carbon, which will remove impurities like chlorine, lead, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as herbicides and pesticides. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, you may find that water or ice from your fridge is tasting or smelling a little strange or that the flow of water is weaker. These are some pretty surefire signs that it\u2019s time to replace a refrigerator\u2019s water filter, typically you will want to replace your water filter every six months to keep your water fresh.

Most manufacturers recommend replacing the filter in your fridge every 6 months or so, and never letting it go longer than a year. Leaving a filter in too long could lead to a number of issues, including:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>It just stops filtering. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the carbon inside the filter reaches max capacity, the water will keep flowing through the filter, carrying along what should\u2019ve been filtered out, and possibly picking up more debris along the way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Clogging <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from an overly packed filter will impact the flow of water both into the ice maker and from the dispenser. If it gets too bad, they might stop working all together.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Scaling or other buildup <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which could cause damage to the rest of the refrigerator, particularly the water dispenser or ice maker\u2019s other components.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Bacterial or mold growth. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your refrigerator\u2019s water filter is left for too long, bacteria or mold could begin to grow in it. Not only will this seriously make your water taste weird, it could make you sick!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Find The Right Water Filter For Your Refrigerator<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the process for filtering water may be largely the same from filter to filter, the filters themselves come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and hookups. It\u2019s important to ensure that you\u2019re getting a compatible filter for your fridge before you make any purchases. For the best results, you should get an OEM product &#8212; that\u2019s original equipment manufacturer &#8212; to ensure an NSF certified, quality product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figuring out what filter you need is simple enough. Just remove the filter currently in your fridge and check the label. It should have a part number of some sort, making it easy to identify. Whirlpool refrigerator water filters, for instance, are sorted by a single digit, 1 through 6. If your refrigerator\u2019s water filter is missing, or if the label is too damaged or worn to read, you can search your refrigerator\u2019s model number online to find a compatible part.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you know what you need, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/refrigerator-filter.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">check out water filters at AppliancePartsPros.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to pick up the right part at a great price by searching with your exact fridge model number.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Replace A Refrigerator Water Filter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where to find your fridge\u2019s filter and how to install a new one will depend on the brand and model of your fridge, but there are a few common styles of filter that are removed and installed in roughly the same way. Let\u2019s start with the basics, steps you\u2019ll want to take with every filter, and then we\u2019ll review how to install several different types of water filter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Across the board, regardless of which model of refrigerator you have, <\/span><b>you should start by shutting off the water to your refrigerator<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can do this from the back of the refrigerator. Look for a valve connected to a (usually white) hose. Just turn that to the right to shut the water off. After, press a glass to the dispenser and drain the remaining water from the fridge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It won\u2019t hurt to have a dish towel on hand. Place it beneath the filter before removing it to ensure any leaking water is caught! Once you\u2019ve done that, you can move on to the next step\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Replace A Twist-On Refrigerator Water Filter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the name implies, twist-on refrigerator water filters are locked into place by turning.
