-
Restores secure filter mounting: The housing gives your filter cartridge a reliable base—reducing risk of leaks, misalignment or improper flow.
-
Improves dispenser performance: A good housing ensures the cartridge sits as intended, thereby helping maintain proper water/ice flow and reducing the chance of cartridge bypass or poor sealing.
-
Cost-effective repair: Replacing a damaged or cracked housing is far less expensive than replacing full dispenser or water-line assemblies.
-
Durable build: Made for use inside the colder environment of a refrigerator, designed to interface with standard cartridge styles used by Frigidaire.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Is Needed
-
You notice leaks or drips around the filter cartridge area after replacing the filter—indicating the housing or mount may be damaged.
-
The filter cartridge fits loosely or won’t seat properly—suggesting the housing may be cracked or the mounting clips are worn.
-
Water flow is reduced or irregular from the dispenser, despite a new filter—housing damage can affect seating and flow.
-
The housing appears cracked, discoloured, mounted at an incorrect angle, or the mounting tabs/clips are broken.
-
During service you remove the cartridge and observe that the housing interior has warpage or damage around the cartridge interface.
Compatibility Notes
-
This part fits many Frigidaire (and affiliated brand) refrigerators that list part 240434301 as the water filter housing. Frigidaire Appliance Parts+1
-
Before purchasing, confirm your refrigerator’s model number, check existing part numbers for the housing, and inspect the filter cartridge type and mounting style.
-
If the housing mount is cracked or the liner around it is damaged, simply installing the new housing may not restore full sealing integrity—have your technician inspect the surrounding liner area.
-
Installation usually involves powering off or turning off water supply, removing the existing housing or cartridge, mounting the new housing, connecting water line and ensuring proper seating of the new filter.
-
Replacing this housing restores correct cartridge mounting but will not fix unrelated issues such as water valve failure, dispenser motor faults or water-line corrosion—those require separate diagnosis.
