M20CM5526 Genuine Kalki Clean Filter for Mitsubishi Electric Fridges with Automatic Ice Makers, Water Tank Filter

M20CM5526 is the genuine Mitsubishi Electric Kalki Clean filter, the small filter used in the water tank that feeds the automatic ice maker on Mitsubishi Electric fridges. Water from the tank passes through it on its way to the ice tray. If yours is cracked, discoloured or missing, swapping in a new M20CM5526 is a quick job. Check the number in your fridge's user manual or parts list to confirm it suits your model.

What the Kalki Clean filter does in a Mitsubishi fridge

Kalki is a Japanese term used for the chlorine in tap water, which hints at the filter's job. It treats the water you pour into the ice maker tank so the ice tastes cleaner. The filter sits in the tank, and every drop heading to the ice tray passes through it. Over time it can clog with scale, grow slime or simply wear out, and the ice maker may then make small, cloudy or odd tasting ice, or fill the tray slowly. A tank left with old water and an old filter can also develop an odour. Regular cleaning helps, but a tired filter is best replaced.

Swapping the tank filter

Take the water tank out of the fridge and empty it. Remove the old filter, then wash the tank and lid in warm water with a little mild detergent and rinse well. Fit the new filter the same way round as the old one, refill the tank with fresh tap water and slide it back in. Throw out the first batch or two of ice.

Questions about this part

How often should I replace the Kalki Clean filter?

Your Mitsubishi Electric user manual gives the recommended interval for your model. As a rule, replace it sooner if it looks stained, slimy or damaged, or if the ice starts to taste or smell off even after the tank has been cleaned.
