Part WPW10143759
Purpose
Refrigerator UV filter drier to remove moisture, contaminants, and aid refrigerant leak detection
Details
This OEM UV-enhanced filter drier installs into the sealed refrigerant system and combines desiccant media with a UV dye wafer. It absorbs moisture and debris to protect components like the compressor and evaporator. The UV dye enables technicians to detect leaks using a UV lamp. Regular replacement ensures optimal refrigerant flow, reliable cooling performance, and extended equipment life.
Compatible Models
Compatible with bottom- and top-mounted refrigeration models from Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, Magic Chef, and cross-brand units—exact fit depends on system configuration; verify using your refrigerator’s parts diagram.
Replaces
