Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I very reluctantly ordered this because our semi-new fridge prompted that we needed to replace the filter. When we bought the fridge, and learned it had a water filter, I thought that's nice, but had no idea that MayTag itself would not supply filters for their own products. Instead, we're forced to search and research for someone that does sell replacement filters. What we've learned is that this is a captured market and the manufacturers are gouging customers. After you've spent a couple thousand on a new fridge that uses a water filter, you'll now need to spend $45+ every few months for filters, forever. Anyhow, the morning after installing this overpriced junk, I opened the fridge and water just poured out everywhere. It causes so much back pressure the connector and seals cannot handle it and the front shield that covers the filter fills up with water in a few minutes and then continues to flow and spill, continuously. Lesson learned. If you can find them, there are $18 versions of this filter that float around Amazon ever so often and they work perfectly. A more sensibly priced and working version is at "Compatible with Filter 2 Refrigerator Water Filter W10413645A W10413645 Kenmore 9082 (1-Pack) Sold by: apluschoice"
