Description
Every time you turn on your Whirlpool ice and water refrigerator, you are adding to the global water crisis. The company is recalling millions of units because of a problem with the filters. There are problems with installers leaving connections at the back of the refrigerator, which can causes water to leak in and start a fire.

Like other replacement products, finding a replacement part on-line can be daunting. I found this replacement water filter for my whirlpool refrigerator model #WRS588FIH. The replacement water filter fit perfectly. I popped the old filter out and then popped the new one in. Make sure after you replace the water filter to run at least 4-gallons of water through the filter, per the manufacturer specifications. Feel free to use the 4-gallons of wasted water for irrigation.

On a quest for the best tasting water possible from a refrigerator, I decided to try out a few different filters with a TDS meter. I started with a 1/3 price filter and even after flushing gallons through, the water had visible specks and the TDS actually increased when going through the filter instead of decreasing.This EveryDrop filter decreased my TDS by 50-100 ppm (depending on when I measure, not sure if it’s a meter inaccuracy or if my tap is just changing through the days) and the taste difference is astonishing compared to the other knockoff filters. I didn’t want to pay $50+ for the filter but I will say it’s worth it.However, I don’t think it actually lasts a full 6 months of great taste. My previous EveryDrop filter was 6.5-7 months old prior to replacement and the taste had been just okay for several months.

When our ice maker started making half cubes and the water dispenser was reduced to a trickle, I figured it was time to change the filter. It was super easy to change, everything works great, I just see no reason that this little filer should cost $50.

I notoriously just hit the reset button on my water filter replacement light until the taste just got so bad that I used my Britta pitcher all of the time. Immediately after installing this filter the water and ice tasted delicious! I highly recommend not ignoring it!

PREVIOUS REVIEW: Popped out and won’t go back in. Have used these before with no problem. This one does not work. UPDATED REVIEW OF SAME FILTER: Called Everydrop and came to the conclusion that there probably was air in the line. Make sure filter is in good with door closed then run dispenser for about 5 seconds then off then run another 5 seconds to clear air on the line. What worked for me was that I made sure the water filter was NOT installed and closed the filter door. Ran water through the dispenser some which may have cleared some air. Then open filter door and put filter back in and made sure it was in securely with filter door closed. Did the run off of 4 gallons or so and no problem.

This filter works fine for us. I read the reviews, so I know that filters made in other countries have unreliable quality, so I was worried about buying these filters from Amazon. But so far, I have had no problems with this filter, and I have been buying the same one for a couple of years now. Water quality appears good, and it works right away.I do not drink the water right away. I dispense the first quart or more into a container, and use that water on my house plants. I also turn off the ice maker for a day or so.So for our household, this line of fridge filters is working okay.

This design is better than the one for the Samsung refrigerator. The little door makes it easy to remove and install a new one. The Samsung filter design is sometimes hard to remove…I had to use a pair of pliers on occasion — to get the turning force needed.

Cost too much but can trust it’s doing what it is supposed to. After market are a lot cheaper but don’t trust them

Ordered non-OEM due to 3 for the price of 1. Although those MAY have worked, modifications would have been required. This OEM fit perfectly. Won’t go for the inexpensive as they were “cheap”.
