Water leaking near the fridge filter?

Water reaches the dispenser and ice maker through tubing and fittings that run via the filter manifold. Connectors at the manifold have to hold mains water pressure while the filter is twisted in and out every few months, so they can crack, loosen or wear their seals. Leaks often show up as water pooling inside the fridge compartment, drips under the crisper bins or ice forming around the filter area. A cracked connector can also let air in, which makes the dispenser splutter. Check the filter itself is seated properly before replacing parts.

Replacing the manifold connector

Unplug the fridge and turn off its water supply at the isolation tap. Remove the filter cartridge, then hold a towel under the manifold to catch water left in the lines. Photograph how the tubes connect before releasing any clips. Push each tube fully into the new connector, turn the water back on slowly and run the dispenser for a couple of minutes to clear air before checking for leaks.

Questions about this part

Is this the whole filter head?

No. This part is the connector that goes with the filter manifold. The manifold itself is a separate genuine part, 140171222049. If the manifold body is cracked, you may need both, so check the old parts before ordering.
