what kind of refrigerator water filters does my refrigerator use?

Answer 1

You should be able to buy a replacement filter where you bought your refrigerator. For example, if you bought a Kenmore at Sears you should be able to get your replacement Kenmroe filter there too.

Answer 2

That depends on the filter you need. Often stores such as Sears have a reasonable selection of replacement parts in stock, but if your appliance is an older model or a less popular brand, they might not have it in stock. But if they sell the appliance, they should be able to order it for you.

Answer 3

The water filter in your refrigerator should be replaced often in order for you and your family to receive the maximum benefit. This can easily be done by YOU with the right appliance parts and accessories. Yes, that is right, you can do it. All filters come with instructions specific to that brand of filter.

When looking for the right appliance part for your refrigerator, make sure you know the brand you are looking for. You might be able to get a comparable non-brand appliance part or accessory, but first verify that it is compatable with your brand and model of refrigerator.

First, after purchasing the replacement water filter, you must flush two to three gallons of water through the new filter. This must be done before installation as most water filters use carbon and there could be carbon residue in the first gallon filtered. This could cause residue in the water and affect the taste.

The next step would be finding the current filter in the refrigerator. Most filters can be found in the base grill at the bottom front of the refrigerator. If you see that your water filter has a reusable knob, you will use this to remove the old filter and install the new filter. You do this by holding the knob and turning 1/4 turn to the left. You can now pull the filter out. The knob must be installed on the new filter and then the new filter can be installed. Once the new filter is in, make 1/4 turn to the right to secure. If your water filter has a push button instead of a knob, you will just need to push the button. The filter will then pop out to be removed. You then insert the new water filter, pushing it in until you hear it click in place.

This is just one of the jobs you can do yourself when using the right applicance parts and accessories.

This is pretty much impossible to answer without knowing what kind of refrigerator you have. Check with the manual that came with it, or look up your model # online for more information!
