What it costs over five years

Replaced on the maker’s interval, the schedule the fridge’s own filter light keeps, at list price. Every filter is counted: the one that came with the fridge is long gone. It is rated for 200 gallons, so a household drawing more than about 1.1 gallons a day through the fridge runs it out sooner.

Which refrigerators it fits

Waterdrop says it replaces W10295370A, Filter 1 (Waterdrop’s page, checked Oct. 9, 2026). None of those is an original filter TapBuff has a page for, so no refrigerators are listed here: match the number on the filter in your fridge. That is the copy maker’s claim, not the fridge maker’s: check the shape of the filter in your fridge before you buy.
