SRC121 Generic Fridge Water Filter suits Bosch Refrigerators, Compatible Replacement for Bosch Filter 00640565 640565

SRC121 is a generic replacement water filter for Bosch fridges that use a water filter cartridge. It's a compatible alternative to Bosch filter 00640565, so if your fridge takes that cartridge, SRC121 is designed to go in the same place. It's an aftermarket filter, not a Bosch part, and a practical option for keeping up with regular filter changes.

When to change the water filter in a Bosch fridge

A fridge water filter sits in the water line feeding the dispenser and ice maker, trapping sediment and typically reducing tastes and odours before the water reaches your glass. As the cartridge fills up, flow slows and the filtering drops off. Signs it's due include water that tastes or smells off, a weak or spitting dispenser, cloudy or undersized ice cubes, or a filter indicator on the fridge asking for a change. Many fridge makers suggest a change about every six months, though heavy use or poor water quality can shorten that.

Changing the filter cartridge

Check the instructions in your Bosch manual, as the filter position varies between fridge designs. Have a towel ready for a few drips when the old cartridge comes out. Fit the new filter firmly in the same orientation, then run several litres of water through the dispenser to flush out air and any loose particles before drinking. Reset the filter indicator if your fridge has one.

Questions about this part

How do I know if my Bosch fridge takes this filter?

Look at the filter currently in your fridge. If it's Bosch 00640565, or your manual lists that number, SRC121 is the aftermarket alternative. If your filter has a different number, send it with your fridge model through the parts enquiry form.
