Whirlpool Kenmore Refrigerator Filter Housing Cap 2186494W

• Genuine OEM replacement filter cap
• For fridges with a white grille

Have to replace the old filter on a Kitchen Aid and the old cap was already broken. This new one fits in perfectly, except that the color (bright white vs creamy white) doesn't match exactly. It's much easier to turn than the original one.

I ordered this cap and it works just fine. It is a factory replacement cap. The challenge was that it is recessed into the grill. That limits the access your fingers have when turning the filter, making this a frustrating and time-consuming process!

What to do? Partially remove the grill. Pull the grill down and away at the right corner. Continue pulling the grill away and work this separation toward the area of the filter. What you are trying to do is gain separation between the grill and base of the fridge. When you do, open the freezer door and slide your fingers on to the cap (your fingers should be between the grill and fridge at this point). You won't have a lot of space, but it is more than just trying to twist the filter cap when it is recessed from the outer part of the grill.

Since I have to use pliers to turn the cap to get the filter out the cap gets all beat up. This cap will come in handy when I have to change my old beat up cap.
