Parts for Kenmore 106.51713411 (10651713411, 106 51713411): Unit Parts

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
• Reduced fan speeds or strange noises originating from the vents

This genuine Whirlpool filter is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Amana models as well.

The Whirlpool EveryDrop Ice and Refrigerator Water Filter 1 is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This filter works to remove small particles from water to ensure clean, great-tasting ice and drinking water directly from the refrigerator door.  Measuring approximately 2.50 x 2.50 x 8.69 inches, this filter is easy to install. 

For optimal performance, we recommend replacing the filter every six months. The filter material is made from coconut carbon block, which has a micron rating of 0.5 and a flow rate of 0.5 gpm. The filter is designed to operate at a maximum pressure of 125 psi and an operating temperature of 38-100°.

Symptoms of a filter needing replacement include:

• Gradual decline in water/ice quality over time exhibiting muddy appearance or odd tastes
• Filter life indicator appears showing it is time for a new one 

Causes stem from normal usage over the stated capacity of the original filter. Allowing one to expire could produce unhealthy water.

This OEM replacement part is compatible with select Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Amana models as well.
