Additional Information
The Kenmore Refrigerator Inline Water Filter (part number 3844609) is designed for refrigerators without a built-in water filter. This filter has NSF certifications 42 and 53, ensuring it effectively reduces lead, cysts, and chlorine taste and odor in your water. The filter uses activated carbon, a black powder, for purification.
After installing the filter, it is recommended to flush about 5 gallons of water through it to remove any fine, harmless carbon particles. This process typically takes around 10 minutes until the water runs clear.
Most manufacturers recommend replacing the water filter every 6 months. Sign up for our water filter subscription service and never worry about remembering to order it again.
Replacement part numbers include 3844601 and 3844602.

Arrived and installed the exact date we specified
I pulled out the fridge from the wall to influence my hubby to help me to install it. I located our red fridge filter bucket and labeled the cartridge with the date and the water flow direction. My hubby, who reads no directions, accidentally turned the water ON for a second, then quickly switched it back to empty INTO the bucket. In no time we filled the bucket to clear charcoal and I collected the water from the front water spigot until it ran clear. Guided the fridge back to its position and in minutes enjoyed the fresh, clean water I'm accumstomed to. Ciao!

Only the Filter
In the past I received this filter with all the installation parts for $30 less. I received this package with filter and two end clips and that's it for a higher cost. Additionally, it just so happened that the top adapter clip the filter attaches to broke and I needed to replace it. Luckily I saved my previous purchased parts and was able to replace it without waiting down time. The filter works great and is a very good purchase but has become over priced.
