Refrigerator Filter - fridge filter, refrigerator
This filter is rated at 750 gallons capacity. If the consumer uses one gallon of water per day in the form of water from the refrigerator dispenser and ice from the ice dispenser, the filter will last 750 days; i.e., just over TWO years. In general, there is no reason to replace the filter yearly, unless you have a really yuccky water source.
In a small household of two adults, the filter should last considerably longer than two years. Furthermore, with the addition of a filtered water dispenser at the sink (such as a GE undercounter unit), the refrigerator filter would be functional for a few years. The undercounter units have a quite large capacity and some use two filter cartridges.
I have an Amana fridge with a water filter. It was time for a new pack of filters. I put the model number of my old filters in the search engine and I was referred to the Maytag filters and of course a new model number. I hesitated but thought I can always return them if it's not correct. The new filters fit and work great!. It was an easy purchase. Thanks! It is suggested you change your water filters every 3 months. With just two people in the household we change ours every 6-7 months.
I bought an Amana refrigerator a little over a year ago and recently the "Replace Filter" light came on. I shopped several stores around here and was totally confused as to which filter was the right one. I mean, Whirlpool bought Maytag and Amana bought Whirlpool (or something like that), so it is hard to tell which filter was for which fridge. There were no convenient charts to guide you. Finally I went to Google and typed in the part number. Amazon had the best price. We have well water with a whole house filter, but my son noticed the difference right away. Good filter, good price, quick delivery.
This filter was a snap to install, and once I did my water pressure from the dispenser was back to normal. If you've
got a refrigerator that uses one of these filters and the water's been coming out slow then it's probably time for a new filter. One word of advice: use a big water pitcher for the first use of the dispenser after the filter change - the pressure has to readjust and it will spit out a few huge blasts of water that will overwhelm your normal water glass. After the couple of big blasts though, you get constant good pressure, better than you remembered was even possible after the gradual slow down with your old filter.
This filter lasts in our Maytag Ice20 refrigerator exactly one year. It is easy to change. It does make the water taste better, so about $32 per year isn't too much to pay for something we use all the time. I've noticed that this same filter comes with different part numbers and names under the general title of PuriClean II. You may pay more or less to get the same thing, so shop around.
Hi receive the product exactly the estimated arrival date in perfect conditions. Installation was very easy, and we notice clearer water and ice, my old filter was 2 years old, and I haven't notice any bad taste or decoloration in the ice, but after Intall a new one there is certaily a difference in the "taste" of the water and the size and color of the Ice. I recommend this product, and specially the 3 pack, since it eliminate the need to get one every 6 or 12 months, you have enogh for a minimum of 2 years or so.
This flows much slower than the old filter it replaced. It installed just fine, the price was good, and it filters the water and ice. But for filling up your glass with water it takes too long. This is in a JennAir/Maytag JSD2690HES that's about 5 yrs old. - Maytag Filter - Maytag - Fridge Filter - Refrigerator'
