FAQs

This part directly replaces 2260518W, WP2260518W, 2260502W, WP2260518WVP, PS11739972, AP6006884, and 1058149.
You should replace the cap if the locking tabs are broken, the threads are stripped, or if it no longer holds the water filter securely in place. A damaged cap can prevent the filter from seating correctly, which may lead to water leaks or bypass, where water flows without being properly filtered.
No tools are required for this installation. Simply remove your old, damaged cap by unscrewing it from the filter housing, insert your existing water filter into the new cap, and screw the assembly back into the refrigerator until it is hand-tight. The entire process typically takes less than two minutes.
If the new cap does not seat firmly, inspect the filter housing inside the refrigerator for any debris or mineral buildup that might be obstructing the threads. Additionally, ensure that the water filter itself is properly aligned before you begin tightening the cap. Forcing the cap onto misaligned threads can damage the plastic and prevent a proper seal.
