Water filter for refrigerator water dispenser

[DNAv5]

My fridge's water filter needs replacement. I just search online and found out they are about $50 each!

Anyone knows where to get them cheaper? I don't mind to get a few at a time. Or if we can get it from wholesale, we can possibly even start a group buy.

The filter I need is PUR 4396841, which are for both KitchenAid and Whirlpool fridges.

I am in the GTA/Markham.

yeah I have to buy those damn filters too. Never thought about it until the fridge is sitting in my house needing a new $60 filter. I have been buying them on ebay through a guy outta Arkansas who uses the name "speedyfilters" there. He has been reliable and fast for me. If you buy bulk (He gives a better deal the more filters you buy), I think that I got my last batch for as low as ~$30 per including shipping. If you find something cheaper post back here!

Otherwise, I have seen a couple of DIY videos, on Youtube and such, detailing how to refill your Brita filters with activated charcoal. I am wondering if the same cant be done with these filters too. For $30 a pop I am willing to give it a shot the next time a dead filter comes out of my fridge! >.<

I am looking also, but for a maytag fridge. They are about 45-50 dollars.

I have just ordered one on ebay for my fridge from a company called senecarivertrading for US$28, shipping included, and should be here in a couple of days.

Thanks alot, I will look it up on Ebay. Hopefully they have more.

I have a Whirlpool fridge with one of those filters as well however I haven't had to replace my filter yet (filter light is still green) but I definitely want a spare available.

I have a KitchenAid Fridge that has the option of running without a filter. I bought a whole house filter that is inline before the water get to the fridge which is hanging off the basement ceiling. I used a system from RainFresh (<$40) which allows you to select the type of filter you can use depending on your needs. Filters are about $10 when they come up on sale at CT or Home Hardware. The unit is fairly easy to install if you are not affraid of DIY plumbing.

I wouldn't buy any of these from Ebay as many of them probably either are reset or are counterfeit.

KitchenAid/Whirpool have a service and parts center located on Matheson Blvd and Kennedy Rd. area.

$25 for a Kitchenaid filter similar to yours.

I think I too need to replace my fridge water filter, I guess my fridge water runs even I remove the filter from the fridge, so I am planning to go with Sunster's idea. Can some one suggest a small waterfilter which I can fix outside of the fridge? I need short in length so that it wont look ugly in my basement hanging from sealing I am not sure whether i can fix filter in flat direction instead of normal up direction. If i can fix flat to my sealing then I do not mind the size of filter.

By the way what does reset do on the filter? i some times press that button on the fridge panel but donno what it do to inside filter?

I've just bought a Kitchenaid fridge so I will eventually need to replace the filter. I am interested in the group buy.

I bought the undersink Rainfresh model and just plumbed the waterline under the kitchen cabinets to the fridge. The dual cartridges are cheap on sale and probably do a better job.

Is this the place??

If so, I will check it out. Did you purchase yours there for this price??

edit: Shat, I had a brain fart. My fridge is a Kenmore, I'm SOL. The local Sears wanted something like 70 bucks for one. Fawk that.

Anyone know of a warehouse location for Kenmore parts??
