Frigidaire Refrigerator Water Filter Head Parts — Models & Compatibility

If you're dealing with a leaking water filter or water that won't flow unless you unscrew and retighten the filter constantly, you're likely facing a worn-out filter head. This replacement part (5304522623) fits over 100 Frigidaire and Electrolux refrigerator models, solving issues with that internal button that wears out and causes leaks or water flow problems.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your refrigerator's model number — it's typically located inside the fridge on the left or right wall, or sometimes on the ceiling. Common compatible series include FPSS, FPBS, FPSC, LFSS, LGHC, and LRSC models. This filter head replaces AP6976322, 5304521650, and 807931801, so if you've seen any of those part numbers referenced in your manual or on repair sites, this is the correct replacement.

About This Replacement Part

The water filter head is the housing assembly that holds your refrigerator's water filter cartridge in place. It contains an internal button and seal system that, when functioning properly, creates a watertight connection between the filter and your fridge's water supply line. The most common failure? That small internal button wears out over time, preventing the filter from sealing properly. You'll know it's failed when water leaks from the filter area, water flow slows to a trickle, or — as one user put it — "water would not work unless filter unscrewed and tightened again." The good news: replacing the entire filter head takes just 15-30 minutes with basic tools like a wrench set and screwdrivers. Most DIYers report watching a quick video and completing the job in under half an hour.

Common Symptoms This Part Fixes

• Water filter leaking around the base or sides
• Slow water flow from the dispenser despite a new filter
• Filter won't seal properly no matter how tight you screw it
• Water dispenser stops working entirely
• Having to repeatedly unscrew and retighten the filter to get water flow

What's Included

This replacement includes the complete water filter head assembly with the internal sealing mechanism and mounting hardware. It's designed as a direct replacement for the original Frigidaire part, so it mounts in the same location using your existing water line connections.

Installation Overview

This is rated as an easy repair. You'll need to shut off the water supply to your fridge, disconnect the old filter head from the water line (usually just a compression fitting or quick-connect), remove a few mounting screws, and install the new head in reverse order. The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes. As one user noted: "Watched a video and replaced the manifold in about 25 min."
