Parts for Kitchenaid KRFC604FSS01: Icemaker And Ice Container Parts

The Whirlpool EveryDrop Ice and Water Refrigerator Filter 2 is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This advanced water filter is designed to provide superior filtration for both the ice maker and water dispenser. This water filter effectively reduces numerous contaminants, including lead, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals, ensuring that your drinking water and ice are not only clean but also taste great.  

Regular replacement of the EveryDrop Filter is recommended to maintain optimal performance and water quality. Over time, filters can become clogged with particles and contaminants, leading to reduced water flow and a decline in the effectiveness of filtration.

Symptoms of a filter that needs to be replaced include:

• Noticeable decrease in water flow rate from the dispenser
• Unpleasant taste or odor in the water and ice
• The filter indicator light on the refrigerator turns on

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The FreshFlow Refrigerator Air Filter is an OEM component for Whirlpool and Maytag refrigerators. Located inside the ventilation system, this filter purifies circulated air. This air filter is 3" wide by 2" high and white in color. It should be replaced every 6 months to ensure the best performance.

Causes of failure relate to clogging from trapped dust, dander and other allergens despite regular replacement intervals. Performance decreases as filter media becomes saturated over months of use.  

Symptoms of a dirty or blocked refrigerator air filter include:

• Reduced airflow causes higher compressor runtime hours  
• Odors being pulled into the fridge from unfiltered vents  
• Shortening of food storage life due to unpurified air exposure
