140171222049 Genuine Fridge Water Filter Manifold for Westinghouse, Electrolux Fridges WHE6874SA WHE6874BA WHE7074SA

Part 140171222049 is the genuine water filter manifold for Westinghouse fridges with plumbed water, listed for the WHE6874SA, WHE6874BA and WHE7074SA. The manifold is the head that the filter cartridge connects into, and the fridge's water lines run in and out of it. It also goes by 807931804. This listing covers the manifold itself, so if your cartridge is due, order that separately.

Leaks and water faults at the fridge filter head

Every drop of water heading to the dispenser or ice maker passes through this manifold, which routes it into the filter cartridge and back out again. If the plastic cracks or the seals inside it wear, you may find water pooling in the fridge or beneath it, a filter that won't lock in properly, or a dispenser that drips or runs slowly even with a new cartridge. Replacing the manifold is the fix when a fresh filter doesn't solve the leak.

Replacing the filter manifold

Turn off the water supply to the fridge and unplug it at the wall. Remove the filter cartridge first, then photograph the water line connections on the manifold before releasing them. If the lines use push-in fittings, hold the collet down while pulling the tube out. Once the new manifold is in, refit the filter, turn the water back on and run the dispenser to purge air and check for leaks.

Questions about this part

How do I know the manifold is the problem and not the filter?

If water still leaks at the filter head, or the cartridge won't seat properly after fitting a new filter, the manifold is the likely culprit. Cracks in the housing or a broken locking tab are the usual giveaways.
