The Water Filter Backing Plate is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It supports and secures the water filter, ensuring it stays in place and functions correctly to provide clean, filtered water.
Over time, the backing plate can become damaged due to regular use, exposure to moisture, or physical impact. A compromised backing plate can lead to improper positioning of the water filter, potentially causing leaks or reduced filtration efficiency.
Symptoms of a bad Water Filter Backing Plate include:
- Water filter not fitting securely or properly
- Leaks around the water filter area
- Reduced water flow or filtration issues
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
