For Electrolux and Westinghouse fridges with a plumbed water dispenser or ice maker, 900403940 is the genuine inline water filter. Also sold as accessory ACC139 and under the older number 1450970, it sits in the water supply line rather than inside the cabinet. Models on the list include WSE6070SF, WSE6970SF, ESE6077SG, ESE6078WA, EHE5167SB, WBE5160SC and WHE5160SA-D.

Signs your inline fridge filter needs replacing

Mains water runs through this canister on its way to the fridge's water valve, so it catches sediment and helps the water and ice taste better. As it clogs, the dispenser slows to a trickle, the ice maker turns out fewer or smaller cubes, and the water can start to taste stale. Because it lives out of sight behind the fridge, it's easy to forget about for years. Write the date on the new filter when you fit it so you know when the next change is due.

Installing the inline filter

Turn the water off at the tap feeding the fridge and ease the fridge out from the wall. Most inline filters are marked with a flow direction, so fit the new one the same way round as the old. Turn the water back on slowly and check every joint for drips. Flush a few litres through the dispenser before you drink from it.
