You should change the water filter of your Whirlpool refrigerator once a year. It may taste funny and look murky, the ice will start to smell, and there may be black spots in the water if you leave it any longer.
A faulty water filter can also affect the water flow, causing water to slowly trickle out and ice to form in smaller blocks.
In any case, you will need to make sure you get the correct replacement water filter for your refrigerator. It is likely that the wrong filter will not connect up with the water line in your refrigerator if you install it incorrectly.
And good thing is, It shouldn’t take you any special tools or knowledge to replace the Whirlpool refrigerator’s water filter.
It is helpful if you can identify the part number printed on the old water filter to ensure that you get the right replacement.
