The Whirlpool WP2260518B Water Filter Cap helps secure and properly position the water filter in your refrigerator. Designed as a replacement component, this water filter cap fits onto the filter housing and helps keep the filter firmly in place during normal operation. It supports a stable connection within the filtration system, allowing water to pass through the filter as intended. A properly fitted cap can help prevent loose filter installation and maintain reliable filter positioning. This replacement part is useful when the original cap is cracked, damaged, missing, or no longer holds the filter securely.
