Whirlpool F2WC9I1 ICE2 Ice Maker Filter
Cloudy, unpleasant-tasting or slow-producing ice may be a sign that your ice maker filter needs attention. The Whirlpool F2WC9I1 ICE2 ice maker filter is a genuine Everydrop OEM replacement designed for select 50 lb freestanding and undercounter ice machines.
Unlike a standard refrigerator filter, the F2WC9I1 is made for the higher water demands of a compatible dedicated ice maker. It has a rated service capacity of 2,000 gallons and should normally be replaced every nine months, or sooner if the filter indicator appears or ice production begins to decrease.
Genuine Everydrop OEM Replacement
The F2WC9I1 is the factory-specified ICE2 replacement filter for compatible Whirlpool Corporation ice makers. Its quarter-turn design fits the intended filter housing and helps maintain proper water flow through the machine.
Whirlpool appliance warranties vary by model. Damage caused by an incompatible or improperly installed component may not be covered, so always confirm your ice maker model and required filter number before ordering.
What Does the F2WC9I1 Filter Reduce?
The Whirlpool F2WC9I1 filtration system is tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 and CSA B483.1 for the reduction of chlorine taste and odor.
The filter also helps reduce scale buildup inside compatible ice makers. This can help support cleaner-tasting ice and the regular operation of the machine’s water and freezing system.
The certified performance data reports:
• 94.1% minimum chlorine taste and odor reduction
• 96.9% average chlorine taste and odor reduction
• 2,000-gallon rated service capacity
• 0.50 GPM service flow rate
Contaminants and minerals vary by water supply, and actual filter performance can depend on local water conditions and proper maintenance.

How to Install the F2WC9I1 ICE2 Filter
Installation normally takes only a few minutes:
1. Open the ice maker and locate the filter compartment on the right side of the control housing.
2. Attach the supplied filter wrench to the old cartridge.
3. Turn the old filter counterclockwise and pull it straight out.
4. Remove the new F2WC9I1 from its packaging.
5. Remove the protective O-ring cover and confirm that both O-rings remain properly seated.
6. Align the filter pin with the notch in the control housing.
7. Push the new filter into the housing.
8. Turn it clockwise until the alignment arrow reaches the locked position.
9. Remove the filter wrench and close the compartment.
The filter must be completely locked into the housing. An incorrectly installed cartridge may prevent the ice maker from producing ice.
Flush Before Use
After installation, flush four gallons of water through the new filter cartridge before using the ice. This removes trapped air and loose filtration material from the new cartridge.
Follow the appliance manual for the exact flushing procedure available on your ice maker model.
