This was a perfect replacement for a Kenmore #9915 filter and $10 less.

Title says it all. I was looking for a new filter for my Kenmore fridge and this one fits it. The Kenmore filter part number is 9915 or 2301706.

I purchased 2 Whirlpool 4396701 refrigerator water
filters on line from Amazon.com a few weeks back.
I am very satisfied with the availability of this
filter required by my Whirlpool Gold Refrigerator.
I searched the internet and shopped around local
stores like Lowe's and Sears and found none that
could match the low price. The free shipping on
this item sealed the deal for me. Amazon.com has
not disappointed me with all purchases I have made
through them.

Keep up the good work, Amazon.com.

I used this to replace a Kenmore 9915 on a 106.76239402, and it was an exact match. I hadn't realized the water flow had been reduced so much until I replaced it. Granted, I've never replaced it before and I've had this refrigerator for several years. FYI, my manual covers models 106.762{32-34,36,39,42-44,46,49}402, and specifies 9915 for all.

It fit fine, the water tastes good, and its cheaper here than anywhere else I've found.

I couldn't force myself to keep paying Sears $50 for filters, so I looked up the model number and found this cartridge as a replacement. Since many Sears refrigerators are made by other companies, their filters will also work. This purchase saved me several dollars and has the exact same specs as buying it at the local department store. It pays to do some research to cross-reference model and part numbers. It saves you lots of money and you get the exact same quality.

After much research for a replacement Kenmore 46-9915 Refrigerator Water Filter at a more reasonable price (Kenmore cost, approx. $40), I found out that Whirlpool KitchenAid 4396701 Refrigerator Filter replaces Kenmore 46-9915 Refrigerator Water Filter and other Whirlpool filters. These filters reduce cholrine taste and odor, particulate class III, lead, mercury, benzene, p-dichlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, etheyl benzene, toxaphene, and 1,2,4-trichorobenzene. Easy to replace, just push and turn. Price on Amazon for the Whirlpool 4396701 was [...] (1 pack) with free super saver shipping.

This was/is the standard as labeled water filter. Cheaper for us than buying them at Sears (at the time at least) and enjoyed the Amazon Prime free home delivery. No issues, no complaints. AFAIK, there aren't any other options for this part other than buying THIS part -- it's just matter of quantity -- so there's not really any choices except based on price.

I swapped out the filter which was obviously very easy, and the new filter does not leak or anything.
But, with the new filter our water tastes slightly "chemically".
We are going to try buying another filter, but for now, we just aren't using the water from our fridge.

What can I say - I got three of these filters for the price of 2 if I had bought them at Sears. The water tastes fine, and I'll have the other 2 remaining ones ready in 6 months when I need to change the current filter.
