Refrigerator Accessories - whirlpool water filter, 4396508

Click here for more information I purchased Whirlpool filters (item 4396508) as shown in the photo and described in the description. I received generic Water Sentinel filters. Probably an honest mistake, but if I wanted generic filters, I would have ordered them. I will be returning them.

I don't know how this will compare to the REAL "Whirlpool" filter which I thought that I was getting! It says that it is made by Water Sentinel. That is not how it is presented so I am very disappointed.

Like some other reviewers recently, I did not receive a genuine Whirlpool filter as pictured in the description. I received a "Water Sentinel" brand filter. I does fit the refrigerator--mine takes the filter in the lower grille (but it's a Kenmore made by Whirlpool). However, it's not what I believed I was purchasing. The filter itself is very lightweight which makes me question if there's as much going on on the inside as there is in a genuine whirlpool filter. Yes, the price is cheap. No, I'm not going through the hassle of returning it. But buyer beware! :(

I just recieved another brand some after market not the item advertised as Whirlpool.This filter compared to Whirlppol is not the same if you shake it it has something inside that moves. It does not seem to be similar in quality. I do not know why this is not corrected yet on Amazon it still shows Whirlpool product and picture and you recieve a product as Water Sentinel. I did recieve a credit for the error after a few calls so customer service was okay.

Amazon makes it easy to replace these filters that are easy to forget when you are at Home Depot or any home store. The filters are easy to order, takes a couple of days to receive, no sales tax, free shipping, much cheaper, and no gasoline used or crowds to deal with. My water and ice taste great. Since I got my side by side ten years ago, I drink nothing but water and love the taste of good, clean water with all the chemicals and harmful junk filtered out. These filters are easy to install and ease my mind when I think of all the crap that is in the tap water. It is scary what is acceptable as far as water quality standards. I certainly do not want my family drinking unfiltered water. Anyway, got off on a tangent, but bottom line is I highly recommend this filter and the ease of obtaining them.

I'll keep this to the point:

- Ordered a three-pack of the product on this page

- Product arrived and was labeled "Whirlpool" on top and "Pur" on the bottom. It appeared to be genuine OEM

- Have changed out the water filter on this fridge over a dozen times previously with no issues

- Installed one and the water took on rotten eggs (hydrogen sulfide) smell

- Water had no such smell with the previous filters

- Thinking I had one bad unit, I installed another one form the 3-pack

- It too imparted the awful smell

- Removed filter completely, smell went away

- Returned this product for a refund

- Ordered PUR QTSS Whirlpool Quarter Turn Refrigerator Ice and Water Filter Cartridge and installed it... no bad smell - Whirlpool Water Filter - 4396508 - Water Filter For Refrigerator - Fridge Filter

Whirlpool Water Filter - whirlpool water filter, pur

Click here for more information This is advertised as a "Whirlpool" 1/4 turn filter but it fits all 1/4 turn filters including Kenmore side-by-side models. I have been paying $30+ for Kenmore's 9010 filter and this filter is an exact replacement.

Is a less expensive replacement for whirlpool filter #4396510 and appears to filter the same contaminants.



Original Whirlpool filter label claims: NSF/ANSI Certified against standard 42 for Chlorine taste & odor; particulate reduction class 1; certified against ANSI standard 53 for Lead, Mercury, Benzene, p-Dichlor., Toxaphene 2, Asbestos, Cysts, Turbidity, & Altrazine.



PUR replacement filter label claims: tested and certified against standard #42 and #53. Carton specifically mentions Chlorine taste/odor, Lead, Sediment, p-Dichlor., Benzene.

I'm always a little afraid to order substitute brands, but the price and the picture of the Pur Filter product gave me a little more confidence to give it a try. It took a little long to get delivered than I expected, but once here it fit my Kitchenaid Side-By-Side Refrigerator perfectly and was easy to install. Would recommend this replacement product to others.

Since PUR filters were the highest rated in my Consumer Reports, I decided to give this a try. I was pleased to see that the Sears filter I removed from my Kenmore side by side is made by PUR!!! Basically the same filter, only $15 less.

Another reviewer mentioned the cost of shipping but I got free shipping since it cost $25. A very good buy and still working great 4 months later.

Unlike the review below that states "Fits all Quarter turn refridgerators", this filter DOES NOT FIT LG Refridgerators quarter turn. The filter is too short and the connection head is too big.



Luckily Amazon was awesome enough to refund me, and I am stuck buying the expensive manufacture brand.



The pur filter is great in price and researched function though.... - Whirlpool Water Filter - Pur - Water Filter - Refrigerator Accessories
