Is this a genuine Whirlpool Water Filters P/N 4396510? I do not want a generic or non Whilrpool brand.

Honestly I do not know. The box says Whirlpool using the proper logo and also says Pur. Pur maybe making theses filters for Whirlpool products since Pur is a filter company. They have worked fine. I would not hesitate to purchase again.

Well I order the filter on line......and the company gave me a call....to validate what I was purchasing indeed matched up to the make and model of my machine on hand. If and when I order filters again, the company has a record. The filter I purchased fits and works as designed. I guess make sure you phone number etc are on point. Mr. Matt

These do appear to be pretty generic filters. If it fits in your housing, you should be good to go

The filter that comes with it looks like the Filtrete brand. You may be able to get answers at this number 1-800-388-3458. We have used other filters with this unit. The filter type is "S" if they ask you which one you are asking about.

If all the filters are original PUR* replacement filters, the filter medium will be the same. Someone has posted that the PBSS filter is inferior to the others, but I see no data to back up that assertion. The difference is in the amount of water they can filter before recommended replacement and the flow rate. The "universal" PBSS filter is rated at 100gal. capacity and 0.5GPM flow rate. The 4396710 is rated 200gal. capacity and 0.5GPM flow rate. The 4396841 is rated 200gal. capacity and 0.85GPH flow rate. Strangely, both the 100 & 200 gal. capacity models are recommended for 6 months replacement. You would think the 200gal. models would last longer. Some whirlpool refrigerators offer what's called "fast-fill" systems, which dispense the water almost twice as fast as "normal" systems. It stands to reason that the 4396841 would be best if you want/need the higher flow rate. It also stands to reason that the lower flow rate models probably filter better since the cartridges (and presumably the filter mediums) are exactly the same size (educated opinion). I have decided on the 4396710 for my refrigerator. I researched a lot for this answer, I hope it helps.

This Whirlpool air purifier machine takes two filters, as you know, a white cardboard one and a black carbon one. I have the model AP 51030K and have re-ordered both filters several times and they fit perfectly. The cardboard one is 1183054K and the black one is 8171434K. Maybe the picture of the filter is just not exact. I have always ordered the Whirlpool brand filters even though they are more expensive than the knock off versions. Hope this helps you out.

Yes-- at least they have the Honeywell logo on the filter itself, along with the model info. They are sturdy and do a great job. I've ordered cheaper "generic" replacement filters before, and they were a waste of money-- flimsy and not as effective at trapping dust.

I am unsure about that model #. The packaging for the filters doesn't spexify model numbers. I have the true air 04384A.

Yeah, they're knockoffs. So what? They work fine, and they're a lot cheaper than the brand name ones. If they're the same filter, why would you want to spend the money on the brand panel? Been using these for about two years. They're great!

No, I don't believe it is, but there are other filters on Amazon's site that are. Just search using the part number Samsung DA97-06317A.

was not a Hayward OEM filter but a 3rd party knock off...the filters did not last a month

Test to be sure it is the real stainless, and not the coated stuff. Whirlpool has used both materials in different models. If you bought it because it resists fingerprints it is not likely real stainless

All I know is that it is a perfect fit! I love having an extra so that when one is being washed and dried I still have a filter. Whether it's 100% genuine or not, I can't tell you that but do know that I'm very satisfied with mine! Hope that helps!

No. This is a generic filter and not a good fit for the models listed. It is deeper and has a rubber seal that bulges, making it difficult to fit with the pre-filter. Because of the bad fit, it makes the unit much louder with vibration than a real Whirlpool filter.

Srivatsa,This appears to be the same as our original filter cartridge. The installation instructions, packaging, and overall appearance is identical to the filters we bought from Amway. It also lasts the same as the originals. Hope this helps.

I'm pretty positive it is. As long as it says it's from Zen Water Systems. Mine fit perfectly and has worked great.

According to "FiltersFast" (.com), I think the answer is No. Whirlpool Refrigerator Model GC5SHEXNS03 replacement part Whirlpool PUR 4396710 Filter Replaces Kenmore 9030 (4396710) Your model GC5SHEXNS03 uses the 4396710 Whirlpool PUR 4396710 Filter Replaces Kenmore 9030 The Whirlpool PUR 4396710 Filter Replaces Kenmore 9030 is the new and improved replacement water filter for Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators with easy access through the front base grille push button access. SEARSPARTSDIRECT says your refrigerator is a "side-by-side" and also says "No". From the picture they provide it looks like your filter has two attachment points ("nipples"?) where the PUR you're asking about only has one. Can you get a replacement number off your existing filter (turn the water supply to the fridge OFF before removing the filter) or use it to compare to pictures to find online?
