900403693 Fridge Water Filter suits Fisher & Paykel Fridges E522BRXFDU E442BRXFDU RF610ADUX E522BRXU4 RF522WDLUX1, Replaces 836848 862285

Part 900403693 is a replacement water filter made to suit Fisher & Paykel fridges that take the 836848 filter, now numbered 862285. It's an equivalent filter rather than one carrying the Fisher & Paykel name. Listed models include the E442B and E522B ranges, such as the E522BRXFDU and E442BRXFDU, plus RF522 and RF610 fridges like the RF610ADUX and RF522WDLUX1.

Fridge water tasting stale or the dispenser running slow

This filter treats the water before it reaches the dispenser and ice maker. Over time the filter loads up with whatever it has removed from the supply, and two things happen. Flow drops, so the dispenser slows to a trickle and the ice maker turns out small or hollow cubes, and the water can start to taste or smell stale. Most fridge makers suggest changing water filters on a regular schedule, so if you can't remember the last change, it's probably overdue.

Changing the fridge water filter

If your fridge has an isolating tap on the water supply, turn it off first. Remove the old filter and fit the new one the same way round, making sure it locks in fully. Flush a few litres through the dispenser to clear air from the line, then throw out the first batch of ice. Check for leaks around the filter housing over the next day.

Questions about this part

Is this a genuine Fisher & Paykel filter?

No, it isn't Fisher & Paykel branded. It's a replacement filter that suits Fisher & Paykel fridges using the 836848 or 862285 filter. If you'd prefer the Fisher & Paykel branded filter, order 862285 instead.
