Filter Replacement
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by
this water fi lter are not necessarily in all users’ water.
Filter life varies depending on local water conditions and the
volume of water used. We recommend that you change this
fi lter every 6 months. However, it can be replaced earlier if
there is a drop in pressure at the refrigerator’s water dispenser
(if present) or if the icemaker’s performance deteriorates.
To reduce Sediment, Chlorine Taste and Odor and Scale, use
Replacement Filter: WHKF-R-PLUS
To purchase replacement cartridges, please contact Whirlpool
at 1-866-363-9472.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.

Troubleshooting Guide
Water Leaks at Fittings: Tighten slightly more until leak stops.
Water leaks at connections: Push tubing in as far as it will
go. If leaking continues, shut off water at the original valve
and remove water line by pushing in on the connector collar
while pulling the tubing away. Inspect tubing for cracks and
scratches. If tubing is cracked or scratched, simply cut that
portion away and reinsert tubing into push-in fi tting.
Make sure tubing is cut straight. If not, recut.
