Whirlpool 4396510P Quarter-Turn Cyst-Reducing Side-by-Side Refrigerator Water Filter, 2-Pack

Whirlpool 4396510P Quarter-Turn Cyst-Reducing Side-by-Side Refrigerator Water Filter, 2-PackI have used this filter and find this to be a very good filter for this cartridge type.

These little filters cannot remove everything from your refrigerator water system, you'll need a high quality reverse osmosis system for that.

Recently I found a website* that lists the actual impurities that this 4396510 filter removes, I quote:

* 99.35% of Lead at pH 6.5

* 99.31% of Lead at pH 8.5

* 96.70% of Mercury at pH 6.5

* 91.20% of Mercury at pH 8.5

* 99.93% of Asbestos

* 96.30% of Benzene

* 99.70% of P-Dichlorobenzene

* 99.99% of Cysts

* 85.60% of Atrazine

* 92.96% of Toxaphene

* 93.06% of 2,4-D

* 97.60% of Chlorine

* 99.30% of Turbidity

* 99.90% of Particulates (Class I)

As with all built-in refrigerator water filters, the 4396510 does not remove Fluoride.

The 4396510 cartridge is tested and certified by NSF International to meet or exceed NSF/ANSI Standards 42 & 53.

The other model cartridge (4396508) does not filter quite as much as the '10' model.

*Because HTML is not allowed in these reviews I can't show the web address....

It hard to tell about water filter either it is working or not. I feel better to have it. I found this is one the reasonably priced store.

4396510 is newer model of 4396508 and "p" means "pack".

Buy Whirlpool 4396510P Quarter-Turn Cyst-Reducing Side-by-Side Refrigerator Water Filter, 2-Pack Now

We have a Sears Kenmore refrigerator model number 106.53582300 (made by Whirlpool) that we purchased from Sears. It has the round water filter in the base of the refrigerator that should be replaced every year. Sears sends post cards wanting to sell us a filter for $40 plus shipping. After some research we came across this one for less and it works superbly.

Highly recommended to save money over the Sears option.

I have a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator and have used sveral brands of replacement water filters.

I have used Kenmore 46-9010

I have used WaterSentinel WSW-1

I have used Whirlpool 4396508

(the filter being rated is the newer version of the older filter above)

The Whirlpool #4396510 is the newer version and does not need to have a gallon of water run through it after installing it (even though I did flush a liter or two through it to get the air out of the system and to ensure no leaks).

What I like about this filter is the following:

1) NSF certified/tested to tests #42 and #53 (not all filters are tested at all or do not test to #53).

2) This filter claims to removes cysts (whatever they are), but again not all filters claim to remove whatever this is... so it must be a capability that this filter or the tests above meet and allow for (again, other brands do not state, so they must not)??

What I like, is that this filter is a name brand filter for $25.00/ea, tested and certfied, ships free as it meets the minimum shipping amount due to being a 2-pack (so I have year's worth of filters since I replace every 6 months as required)... and compared to the lower price of the cheaper filters available, I do not mind paying an extra $7.00/ea for the benefits mentioned above.... for me it is worth it!!!

As mentioned above, I have purchased and used various replacement filters that all seemed to work, but for the money, this filter has all the right specifications, certifications and that it is the new/updated part number to the Whirlpool filter #4396508 which does not require a gallon of water to be run through it flush out any loose carbon particles.

Buy and enjoy.

This is the second batch of these refrigerator water filters I have ordered from Amazon. Any place else you buy them will charge a lot more.

However, I learned something from another review on Amazon that I'd like to pass on: My refrigerator has an indicator light system that supposedly tells when the filter should be replaced. But the indicator lights indicate only the time since they were reset, not the amount of water that has passed through the filter.

Supposedly the filter is good for 400 gallons of water. The refrigerator assumes that by the time six months have passed you will have run 400 gallons of water through the filter. Hence, six months after resetting the indicator light system, it will again show that the filter needs replacing, no matter how much (or how little) water has actually gone through the filter.

Since I use the water dispenser on the refrigerator infrequently, and since I don't use that much ice, that means I have probably been replacing the filter before it really needed to be replaced, based solely on the fact that six months had gone by since I last replaced the filter and reset the indicator lights.

Starting with this batch of filters, I will not replace a filter until the water tastes like the filter isn't doing anything. Your mileage may vary.

Frigidaire 241734301 Water Valve for Refrigerator

Frigidaire 241734301 Water Valve for RefrigeratorThe replacement used insertion type fittings. Had to cut the fitting ends off the plastic tubing and insert the cleanly cut tubing ends. It went well with no leaks.

The valve fixed the water supply coming out from the filtered water line.

The difference between the old valve and the new valve was, the original valve had threaded fittings, the new valve has compression fittings. So you have to cut the original lines and push them in.

This unit fits and works exactly like the original. The mounting hardware was a perfect match for the original. This unit uses "push-in" connectors where the original used "screw-on" connectors. So you just cut the old lines and push them into the connections on this valve. Quick and easy, did not take more than 10 minutes start to finish.

Whirlpool W10189703 Evaporator Motor for Refrigerator

Whirlpool W10189703 Evaporator Motor for RefrigeratorTHis is a replacement motor and it fits and it works. It is NOT however, a Whirlpool motor and is built on a much smaller frame than the original with fewer coil windings and an open armature as opposed to the original motor.It clearly has less torque and quality in general than the OEM ( which was Swiss Made) as opposed to this really cheaply made Chinese product. I bought this because it was $25 rather than $45(from Sears).I thought I was getting an exact OEM replacement I keep forgetting -"You get what you pay for"

I bought this because the one in my Kenmore side by side was bad. The shaft on this one is shorter but still works just fine. I just had to make sure the fan wasn't rubbing when it spun. I tweaked the bracket a touch so it wouldn't and all was good. This replacement one worked for a couple days and then went out too. Or so I thought. Turned out the defrost timer went out after I put the new fan in. I didn't figure that out until I had returned 2 of these for replacement. Turns out it is extremely common for the thermostat, fan and defrost timer go out. If you think your fridge is special because it's a certain brand (which I did), it turns out it's not. Most of these parts are interchangeable. Do some checking and save yourself a lot of money!

So if you think your fan is what's going out make sure your defrost timer and thermostat aren't whats at fault. You can check youtube for how to test the thermostat and defrost timer. It's ridiculously easy. You just need a multi-meter. I had power going to the fan and a good ground and the fan wasn't going so I figured it had to be the fan. If you have the same results still test the thermostat and defrost timer. It will save you a big headache and time. I replaced both of them also and it was under $30 for both with PRIME. Wish I would of done it all in the beginning.

So with that said the seller was great and I was sent replacements with no problem at all. In fact they were sent out the same day I requested them.

Hope this helps some others.

The motor was not oriented in the same manner as the original. It did not work with my fridge.

The motor was tested and it works, but did not fit.

Fan works fine food is cold again. The shaft was a bit smaller that what was being replaced, so had to shim with teflon tape for a snug fit.

4 Liter AC/DC Portable Mini Fridge Cooler Warmer (Black)

4 Liter AC/DC Portable Mini Fridge Cooler WarmerI use this cooler under my desk at work. It's the second one I've purchased actually. The first one lasted about 2 years being constantly turned on. I just don't like smashing my lunch into the shared refridgerator with the rest of my coworkers. The power supply to our cubicle village can't support the little personal refridgerators and we've been threatened not to test this. It's almost silent fan can't be heard outside of my cubicle and it quickly turns into unperceptable background noise. The only one little thing I'm not thrilled about is the instructions tell you to turn it off for 1 hour after every 24 hours of continuous use. This means my yogurt warms up for 60 minutes during the day, or I have to turn it off before I go home and can't leave anything in there overnight. I don't always eat all my lunch so now I have to take home my left overs. It's not that big of a deal but sometimes I forget. I suppose I run the risk of burning it out faster? Oh well, at around $40 I'll just buy another new one.

I bought the fridge to be used at work in my cubicle. The fridge is so loud that my cubicle neighbors complain. I put up with the sound for one day and then abandoned it. The fridge comes with a car adapter and regular ac outlet adapter. It is too loud to be used in a cubicle but it might be good on road trips when you can crank up the radio to hide the annoying fan. I was told that the sound would be comparable to a computer fan....totally not true. More like having a 5.0L Mustang in your cube

I bought two of these products in the last year. They make a lot of noise but they are small, look good, and keep things quite cool. However, they cannot run continuously for more than four months. When the first one just stopped working I thought it was defective, and I bought another one. Now this one has died, too, and I realized that they are meant for occasional, short-period use only. Too bad!

No AC Power Cord included so now I have to spend $25 for it since it is for the office. Nice size.

I simply love it! It keeps my beverages cold and when I need to warm up food, it's great. The motor is somewhat loud, however, overall, it satisfies my purpose. Thanks so much!
