Specifications

Cleaner-Tasting Water

The Kenmore 9990 filter helps reduce chlorine taste and odor that can make refrigerator water taste unpleasant. A fresh cartridge helps keep everyday drinking water cleaner and more enjoyable.

Better-Tasting Ice

The water supplied to your ice maker passes through the same filtration system. By reducing unwanted tastes, odors, and sediment before the water reaches the ice maker, the 46-9990 helps keep your ice tasting fresher.

Carbon Block Filtration

The premium carbon block is designed to reduce several common impurities found in household water, including chlorine taste and odor, lead, cysts, and sediment. The product page lists NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 certification for the applicable filtration claims.

300-Gallon Capacity

The Kenmore 9990 is rated for up to 300 gallons of filtration and is recommended for replacement every six months. Actual filter life can vary depending on household water consumption and incoming water quality, so heavier use may require an earlier replacement.

Easy Slide-and-Twist Installation

Replacing the filter does not require special tools. The 9990 slides into its compatible housing and twists into position, allowing you to complete a routine filter change without complicated installation.

Helps Maintain Water Flow

A filter that has been used beyond its recommended service period can affect water flow. Replacing the 46-9990 on schedule helps maintain consistent filtration and normal dispenser performance.

Built for Compatible Kenmore Refrigerators

The 9990 and 46-9990 part numbers identify this specific Kenmore filter family. The product is listed for compatible Kenmore side-by-side and other refrigerator models, with the filter positioned in the refrigerator door or upper compartment depending on the appliance.

Before ordering, check the number printed on your existing cartridge or confirm your refrigerator model. If your current filter is marked 9990 or 46-9990, this is the replacement family to look for. Matching the part number helps prevent ordering a filter designed for a different Kenmore filtration system.
