Whirlpool 7WUC4801S0 Installation, Use & Care Guide

Filter Replacement:

The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water filter are not necessarily in all users’ water.

Filter life depends on local water conditions and the volume of water used. We recommend you change the 2321005 filter every 6 months. However, it can be replaced earlier if there is a drop in water pressure.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for Cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. EPA Establishment #070595- CT-001.

Filter Cartridge Replacement Instructions:

NOTE: Before changing cartridge, turn off or bypass incoming water supply. Place a bucket under filter to catch the small amount of water that will run out after housing removal.

1. Shut off water by turning valve on filter head to the “OFF” or “BYPASS” position.

2. Unscrew housing and remove old cartridge. Wash housing thoroughly with mild soap and water.

3. Insert new cartridge and re-install housing. Be sure cartridge is seated in the housing before tightening onto head.

4. Use filter wrench to fully seat the cartridge. Tighten to make a water tight seal.

5. Turn on water by turning valve on filter head to the “FILTER” position. If any leaks appear, tighten housing as needed.

6. Flush system for five (5) minutes.

Troubleshooting Guide

Water Leaks at Threaded Fittings: Tighten slightly more until leak stops Water leaks at Push-in Connections: Refer to section “Using Push-In Fittings” Push pipe in as far as it will go. If leaking continues, shut off water

at the incoming valve and remove water line by pushing in on the connector collar while pulling the tubing away. Inspect pipe for cracks and scratches. If pipe is cracked or scratched, simply cut that portion away and reinsert pipe into fitting.
