Choosing the right water filter for your fridge



Water filters are found in American fridges. This type of fridge is often equipped with a water cooling system and / or a machine to make ice cubes. The water used comes from the tap, but first goes through a water filter. The water of your ice cubes therefore has the quality of bottled water. This water filter must be changed regularly. A simple formality thanks to our practical manual!

Why should I change my water filter every 6 months?

The water filter in your fridge must be changed after a certain number of liters, approximately every 6 months. If the filter is not changed, bacteria can contaminate the water. In addition, an old filter does not remove limescale and does not do its job properly. Fortunately, most refrigerators signal when to change the filter.

Refrigerator water filters from Wpro, LG, Whirlpool, Samsung, ...

The different brands of American refrigerators work with different kinds of water filters. The water filter of a Bosch fridge does not look like that of a LG fridge and does not have the same function. No need to tell you that choosing the water filter compatible with your fridge is essential. Some examples are the Wpro , Whirlpool , Maytag , Bosch-Siemens , LG and Samsung water filters   .

How to change the water filter of your fridge?

If your water filter is 6 months old and / or a small red light indicating H20 is lit, it is time to change the water filter. Look for the label of your refrigerator. In most models, you'll find it under the crisper, or sometimes in the freezer. On this label is a serial number. This number has certain characteristics: in the Bosch and Siemens refrigerators this is the name E. The Whirlpool and Bauknecht refrigerators have the name 12NC and the code still contains 12 numbers. The PNC code for Electrolux fridges has 9 digits followed by a hyphen and 2 digits.

1.       Surf the Online Repair Spare Parts Online Store. Type the serial number of your fridge in the search strip below "search by device type". If you do not find it that way, you can also type your fridge code in the main search bar.
2.       Choose your fridge from the list.
3.       You now see a list of all the spare parts compatible with your American fridge. In this list you will also find the suitable water filter.
4.       Click on "buy" and order your water filter. It will be delivered the next day!

Replacing the water filter in your fridge is very simple. On most models, it is not even necessary to shut off the water supply. Just remove the used filter (normally located in the lower and central part of your fridge). Attach the new filter, and enjoy fresh, pure water again!
