-
Durable construction: made of moulded plastic, engineered for daily use and contact with water supply.
-
A cost-effective repair: replacing a damaged or cracked housing/cup is far less expensive than dealing with water damage or full filter head replacement.

Helps maintain clean water supply: by ensuring a proper seal and alignment, this part supports correct filter operation and consistent water flow.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
You notice water leaking around the filter cap/housing area or puddling under the filter compartment.
-
The filter cartridge does not lock in securely, rotates loosely or causes the door/housing to mis-align.
-
The housing is cracked, broken, distorted or missing entirely, making the filter unstable.
-
The water/ice dispenser has low flow or erratic behaviour despite using a correct filter—housing mis-alignment may be the cause.
If you observe any of these symptoms, have your maintenance technician verify that the housing 240434401 is the correct part for your filter system and that no other water supply/fitting component is at fault.

Compatibility Notes
-
Matching your full appliance model number is essential—even if the old housing looks identical, variations in filter size, head alignment, and mounting tabs may differ between models. applianceparts.lowes.com
-
Replacing only the housing will restore physical fit and seal—but if the filter itself, water supply lines, or filter head are damaged, the root issue may remain. Technician inspection before ordering is advised.
-
During installation: turn off the water supply, remove the old housing/cup, inspect surrounding area for damage, install the new housing ensuring proper seat of O-ring/clip, refill system and check for leaks.
-
After installation, run the water/ice dispenser to flush air and verify normal flow and no leaks.
