Frigidaire Water Filter Base 242009602 OEM Part

Refrigerator Plastic Filter Support, White
Dimensions: 3.5 inches x 3 inches
This component can be individually purchased and is recommended for replacement if any leakage occurs.

Designed specifically for Frigidaire refrigerators, this Water Filter Base also fits models from Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Sears-Kenmore. As an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, it functions as the housing and connection for the refrigerator water filter. The base is crucial in maintaining water quality for drinking and ice production, ensuring the filtration system operates smoothly and preventing impurities. Its secure holding of the water filter creates a steady, leak-resistant link to the water supply.

Typically, problems with the Water Filter Base arise from physical damage, natural wear and tear, or incorrect filter installation.

Signs of a problematic Water Filter Base include:
- Leaking water near the filter
- Difficulty during filter installation or removal
- Reduced water flow to the dispenser or ice maker
- Strange noises from the water dispenser while in use

In addition to Frigidaire, this OEM component is compatible with models from other manufacturers like Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and some additional Sears/Kenmore models.
