The Water Filter Head and Tube Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part is designed to house the water filter, ensuring that water entering the refrigerator is properly filtered before being dispensed or used to produce ice.
Causes of damage to the water filter head and tube assembly can include normal wear and tear, excessive force when installing or removing filters, or damage from water pressure fluctuations.
Symptoms of a bad Water Filter Head and Tube Assembly include:
- Difficulty in installing or removing the water filter
- Leaks occurring at the point where the water filter connects to the refrigerator
- Poor water flow from the dispenser or ice maker
- Unusual noises when the water dispenser is used, pointing to potential issues with the assembly or filter fit.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
