Anybody know a good source? I hate to pay Whirlpool's direct-from-
the-manufacturer prices.
Or is this one of those situations where you really do have to buy
from the manufacturer because no third-party equivalent is available?

Last time I needed one, I got it at Home Depot. Never got a price from
Whirlpool, so can't compare them.

I'll check -- thanks.
It gripes my cookies that the "helpful" red-yellow-green light is
time based and has nothing to do with the actual condition of the
filter. I'm a one-person household, so I know it's prompting me to
replace the filter too soon, but I have no idea by how much.

My fridge doesn't have such a light (that I know of). My system for the
filters is that if the flow slows enough that I notice it, I replace the
filter. The flow I am looking at is the ice water spigot in the door,
which I usually use a few times a week. If you are only looking at the
ice cubes, not sure how you would tell. If the icemaker fill is by
volume, you will hear it filling for a longer time. If the fill is
timer based, the cubes will be smaller.

I had the refrigerator in my last house for three years without
replacing the filter. The water was excellent, however. The ice in
this (after a year) one is starting to taste a little strange so I'll
likely replace the filter. I've never noticed the flow change though.
Isn't there a bypass?
