As they should. I think I read somewhere these water filters have like $1 worth of materials in them. They sell at retail $40-$50. They're in the same class as inkjet cartridges.

And your car air and cabin air filters and low MPR furnace filters. It's why Home Depot will ship you a $5 one in a 36x14x8" box for free. They wouldn't if their profit weren't so high. I have to hack my XFWE from GE/Haier. Total hassle.
Yeah, we got our LG fridge from Lowe's with some stacked coupons and it's fantastic. They redesigned the ice maker so it fits inside the door (which prevents freezing and clogs) and the ice maker, although smaller, is pretty fast. It only hold about 16 glasses of ice, but if you have a party or something the acceler-ice button starts cranking it out like crazy. I didn't think I'd like the wifi connectivity either, but it turned out to be handy (it alerts you if the door is left open, when filters need to be changed, if there's an issue with a part, etc).
I was a Whirlpool/Kenmore guy but started switching over to LG appliances after this experience. Just got an LG wifi washer. Going for a dryer next. Whirlpool seems to have started cheaping out on their parts and build quality.
Build quality and finish on my whirlpool is not good. The little chrome finish piece around the water/ice dispenser squeaks if you touch it as an example. Just cheap and poor fitted. The freezer handle also will not tighten to fit without a slight wobble. Poor attention to detail. If it wasn't a 1000lbs and I noticed all the issues sooner I would have returned it.
You could bypass the OEM filter, and put a good generic ahead of it. Mount new filter, on the back of the fridge for easy access.
I had a fridge water supply put in garage to connect to my older Samsung. Quicker ice and better tasting water out of the fridge/filter. That helps. No idea how to do what you are suggesting.
Was going to get an LG fridge at a recent sale Costco had but I did too much research and the model I wanted sold out, so we got a whirlpool. I regret it. Not to mention other issues like insanely slow ice making, the filters are $60 a piece and only last 3 months. Stupid....
Just buy it and research, most of the time it don't ship quick and can always cancel if you change your mind.

Any EDR1RXD1 for whirlpool? Seems like they employed NASA to make this proprietary filter
Whirlpool is no longer an option for my family. The LED light in the refrigerator went out. It costs about 1/4th the cost of the total refrigerator just for the part ($300)... Remember when you could go to the hardware store and buy a light bulb for your refrigerator and it cost 10cents? fark Whirlpool for over engineering something so dumb.
