Some retailers also cross-reference this filter with Kenmore 9999. If you’re shopping for a Kenmore fridge, browse our Kenmore refrigerator water filters and match your model number first.

Not the same filter: the ULTRAWF is not the same as the PureSource Ultra II (EPTWFU01) or the PurePour PWF-1 (FPPWFU01). Those use different part numbers. If your fridge calls for one of them, see our EPTWFU01 PureSource Ultra II filter or the FPPWFU01 PurePour PWF-1 filter.
