Whirlpool w10790816 Water Filter

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL w10790816 is a replacement water filter designed to reduce contaminants in residential refrigerator water and ice systems. It installs directly into compatible Whirlpool refrigerator models, providing filtered water at the dispenser and clean ice from the icemaker. Licensed plumbers and appliance technicians, as well as experienced DIYers, perform this replacement as part of routine refrigerator maintenance. Filter changes are typically recommended every six months or per manufacturer service intervals to maintain flow rate and filtration performance.

This filter is suited for residential kitchen refrigerators equipped with a built-in water filtration system. It serves households that rely on filtered drinking water and ice produced through the refrigerator's internal water circuit. The w10790816 is a direct OEM replacement part sourced from Whirlpool, intended to restore factory filtration performance when an existing filter has reached its service life.

Installation Notes

Before replacing the filter, shut off the refrigerator's water supply line to avoid spillage. Twist out the old filter, insert the new w10790816 per the housing orientation, and flush several gallons of water through the dispenser to purge air and carbon fines before use.
