Where is the model number located on a Kenmore refrigerator?

Kenmore models always have a 3 digit prefix such as 110 or 665, then a period, then more numbers. Next, look for an aluminum tag--or a silver or white adhesive label. The model number may be printed or stamped onto the tag and it may be written in two different type sizes or styles.

Which water filter goes first?

The water should first go through a sediment water filter to reduce sand, dirt, rust, and other sediment. You want to have the water go through a sediment filter first so it does not clog up the carbon filter, which is more expensive.

Why is my water filter leaking?

Open the tank ball valve and feed water line. Check for leaks. If the filter housing continues to leak, the O ring maybe damaged and needs to be replaced, or the filter housing cap maybe faulty. If the housing continues to leak, shutoff the feed water and tank ball valve again.

How do you clean a whole house water filter?

Soak the filter.
Pour in oxalic acid, and let it sit until clean, about 20 minutes or so. For the carbon-based filter, mix up a tablespoon of bleach in a gallon of water. Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub down the paper, then let the whole filter soak in the bleach solution for 5 to 10 minutes.
