W11168758 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Reservoir

This Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Reservoir (W11168758) is a genuine part designed specifically for Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag refrigerators. It holds the water for the water dispenser as the water chills, ensuring you always have cold, refreshing water at your fingertips when you need it. Known for its durability and compatibility, the water reservoir is also known as a "water holder" or "chilling tank." In addition to its primary chilling function, it plays a crucial role in maintaining the quality and safety of the drinking water dispensed from your refrigerator. If you've noticed that the water from your dispenser tastes odd, dispenses slowly, or if there's a leak originating from the back of the refrigerator, it's a strong indication that the water reservoir might be failing. Before replacing, ensure the refrigerator is unplugged and the water supply is shut off to prevent any mishaps. Installation may require basic tools, and wearing work gloves can offer additional protection during the process. Remember to verify your refrigerator's model number to confirm the compatibility of the W11168758 Water Reservoir before making your purchase.
