Tools and Hardware Reviews of Whirlpool 4396508 KitchenAid Maytag Side-by-Side Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-Pack
Customer Review: The real Whirlpool 4396508 is the way to go
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I bought this I tried a cheaper knockoff brand (can be found in my reviews) and it was not a good experience.
Then I bought this one, the actual Whirlpool brand, and it resolved the issues we had with the knockoff brand.
CONS: It's a little bit difficult to remove/replace these, and you do have to run quite a bit of water through to get rid of the initial dusty residue, but those issues were both to be expected.
PROS: Way better than the cheap knock-off brands, quality product, and excellent tasting water.
I'm definitely sticking with these from now on.
Customer Review: Water tastes like air
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best water filter I've ever used. I've since sold my fridge that had this thing integrated, and I've tried several other filters; none were as good.
Even the whirlpool under-the-sink model doesn't get the water tasting quite as good as this one does. Brita, PUR, GE . . . none of the alternatives that are in the same price range are as good.
The best comparison is Sparklett's water. They're a company in San Antonio that delivers 5 gal bottles to our office. That's how the water that comes out of this filter tastes.

I've been buying this filter for a few years for my KitchenAid fridge. Unfortunately at other retailers, this filter can get quite expensive. But now I will only be purchasing this from Amazon given their great price and fast shipping. The filter does what it's supposed to do and it does last for the full 6 months that is recommended. This filter also consistently makes my ordinary tap water, and ice, taste significantly better.
Highly recommend this filter. And as always, great packaging and fast shipping from Amazon.
Customer Review: Looks like original to me
Summary: 5 Stars
I read reviews from others that said this wasn't a factory replacement and therefore no good. It says Whirlpool on the one I received. Looks identical. Fit perfectly. Water comes out fine and looking and smelling as good as ever.
i saved more than 10 bucks getting this one. And regardless if it comes from the "official" Whirlpool factory, it works and is cheaper. Besides, all the "official" replacements coming directly from the factory are likely made in the same factory this replacement is. That's how replacement parts work.

If you read the instructions it will drive you nuts! If I remember right, it's lefty(loose) and right(tight).
Once I figured it is counterclockwise(not clockwise like the instructions said), much to my amazement it come right out like it said it would. Make sure you run plenty of water thru the dispenser so it will hopefully stop dripping.
I would advise keeping an eye on it so there is no water running or call your insurance agent to make sure you have water damage insurance. Otherwise, it seems ok!
