The Filter Cap is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It seals the water filter housing chamber located inside the refrigerator. The cap plays an important role in properly securing the water filter cartridge and ensuring a tight seal that prevents leaks.
Causes of a bad filter cap can include cracks, deformities, or warping of the cap due to pressure fluctuations over time within the filter housing chamber.
Symptoms of a bad filter cap include:
- Water leaks from around the filter area
- Inability to securely lock the filter cartridge in place
- Premature wasting of water when the filter is not fully engaged
This Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
