These are the standard filters used in many refrigerators like my Whirlpool. They filter all the water used in the ice maker and the in-door water dispenser just as you would expect them to do.
The 3-pack of these is a great maoney saving costing only about $5 more than buying two of them individually.
They only rate about a 4 in the star system because they never last as long as Whirlpool says they should. The owner's manual says about 5-6 months with the sort of use we put them to, and the "change me" light comes on at about the 5 month time, and the water flow through begins to diminish about the same time. But, changing the filter at the 4-month point keeps the water taste top notch. Waiting that extra month or so gives you water that isn't as clean tasting.
Ah, well. At least you save money buying in bulk.

Using the correct model, serial numbers from the Refrigerator and the part number on the factory ice maker this is the unit that was suppose to replace it.Not even close - Wrong side for water inlet, Mounting bracket will not mount correctly.I even tried to change out the motor, timer and switches and use the existing housing and etc.The only thing that would change out is the two switches.Not satisfied.
