Kenmore 9990 Genuine Refrigerator Water Filter (46-9990)

Genuine Kenmore 9990 refrigerator water filter

The Kenmore 9990 refrigerator water filter is the original Kenmore cartridge (46-9990), shipped in its original Kenmore packaging. Because it is certified to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53, your water and ice taste clean and fresh.

Why replace it every 6 months

The carbon block traps contaminants until it is full. After about 6 months, however, it filters less and the water flow can slow down. As a result, the manufacturer recommends a new filter every 6 months, or sooner if your water is hard. In addition, most refrigerators turn on a filter light when the change is due.

How to replace the Kenmore 9990 refrigerator water filter

1. First, find the filter housing. Your use and care guide shows its exact position in your refrigerator.
2. Next, remove the old filter as your guide describes, because some models use a quarter turn and others a release button. Keep a towel nearby, since a few drops of water may fall.
3. Then insert the new filter the same way until it locks in place.
4. Finally, run water from the dispenser for a few minutes and reset the filter light.

Tips after a filter change

Run water through the dispenser for a few minutes after each change, because the first water flushes out air and loose carbon. Also, throw away the first batch of ice. If the water flow is weak afterwards, check that the filter is fully locked in place. Finally, write the install date on the filter or set a phone reminder, so you know when the next change is due.

Questions

Is this a genuine Kenmore part? Yes. It is the original Kenmore filter in its original box, not a compatible copy.

Is 46-9990 the same as 9990? Yes. 46-9990 is another name for the Kenmore 9990 refrigerator water filter, so both names point to the same part.
