Tools and Hardware Reviews of Whirlpool 4396841 PUR Push Button Side-by-Side Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-Pack
Customer Review: Bad Filter
Summary: 1 Stars
I paid almost as much for this as I would have had to pay in the store, and it has never worked since the day I installed it. I kept thinking that maybe it needed to be in awhile and the bad taste would go away, but it has not. Once in awhile it tastes better for a glass or two, but most of the water and ice are terrible. I had a filter in that came with the refrigerator for two years and never had any bad ice or water, and ever since I changed to this one it has all been bad, so there must be something wrong with the filter. It is supposed to be the exact filter that came with my fridge when it was new according to the website, but it does not work the same. I am not entirely sure if it is even new, perhaps they are recycled or maybe it was just defective, but it is too difficult to try to fix it through the internet and the mail, so now I will be forced to go to the local store and buy another after just paying for a new one. If I were you, I would just get your replacements at a local store, if it doesn't work right, at least you can take it back easily and exchange it. I will not order one this way again, I will use a hardware store or department or appliance store.Customer Review: Bad Filter too

Like some other reviewers, I received a bad filter from Amazon.com. I purchased my filter on July 12, 2010.
I have the Whirlpool GD5DHAXVY01 refrigerator and have replaced the filter several times in the past with filters purchased directly from Whirlpool. This time I ordered from Amazon to save $10 and now I regret it. Since putting the Amazon.com replacement filter into my fridge, the water and ice have smelled and tasted foul.
Because I didn't replace the filter until after Amazon's 30-day exchange period had passed, Amazon would not accept a return. They told me to call Whirlpool who said:
1) they don't make the filters, so are not responsible
2) I should call PUR (owned by P&G) who makes the filters and
3) had I bought the filter from Whilpool, I wouldn't have had this problem because Amazon probably sold me an expired filter.
I doubt Whirlpool's third claim, but in any case, I called PUR (at 1-800-787-5463) and they courteously offered to send me a check for the amount I paid Amazon.com. I'll use that to buy another filter and cross my fingers that it isn't from the same lot.
Be careful out there!
Customer Review: Best Price

Always a great experience with Amazon. Two times a year replace this filter and it provides good, clean, water. We have alot of clorine in our water supply and this filter does improve the taste greatly.Customer Review: Best price I have found

These work great and is the best price I have found on them plus you pay no tax (for now) and the shipping was free.Customer Review: Better than going to a local store

The replacement water filter for my KitchenAid refrigerator meets factory specs and you can't beat Amazon's price and convenience.
