The Whirlpool EveryDrop Refrigerator Water Filter 6 is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This water filter is designed to reduce contaminants in the water supply, such as chlorine, lead, and other harmful substances, ensuring clean and safe drinking water and ice. It provides up to six months of filtration before needing replacement.

Causes of a bad water filter can include the end of its lifespan, clogging from excessive contaminants, or damage from improper installation. Over time, filters lose their effectiveness as they reach their capacity to absorb impurities.

Symptoms of a bad water filter include:

• Reduced water flow from the dispenser
• Unpleasant taste or odor in water and ice
• Cloudy or discolored water
• The filter indicator light on the refrigerator signaling a replacement

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This defrost heater melts frost from the evaporator during the automatic defrost cycle to keep air moving and temperatures stable. Replacing a failed heater restores normal cooling and helps prevent frost from building up on the freezer wall and coil.

• Heats the evaporator coil during defrost to clear accumulated frost and ice
• Helps maintain proper airflow and consistent refrigerator/freezer temperatures
• Common symptoms: heavy frost on the evaporator cover, refrigerator section warming, weak airflow, or fan noise from ice contact
