Which way does the filter face? Does the black side face the motor? I have a Kenmore progressive & my old filter was white on both sides

Good morning Fussy Deb, I put the black side toward the motor as it will catch all dust particle. I hope this helped you!

Black side is visible (it's got larger pores, the white is finer, so it's the second layer that the air goes through.)

I also have a Kenmore fridge and it fits perfectly. Amazon has an amazing return process, so I suggest getting the filter and returning it off its not the right one. Thanks for asking!

We have both kinds. The white one can see collected dust better, when you clean it. The black works just as good, but you don't see that much dust on filter.collected

I think so. One side is black (the side shown in the photo) and turns grayish whitish from dust, etc. as it filters the air that passes through it, as long as you insert the filter in the appropriate direction.

Yes, I work for Sears, and this filter is an exact duplicate of the 9890 Kenmore filter (if your particular side by side is made by LG for Kenmore, like mine. You can tell if your model number first starts with "795"). Be wary that some Kenmore side by side fridges are made by Whirlpool ("110" and "106") as well, and in those cases, this filter will not work.

The answer is "no." The filters I use have threads have threads on both sides. Most of them do so this shouldn't be a problem.

To be honest, I don't think it matters. If you look inside the filter, its only a screen. With that said it should not make a difference which way it goes. Its not like a standard paper filter element, where a direction would matter. Hope that helps.

Everything up to the #40324 is true, and whether that number is the new replacement part at Sears I can't say for sure. But my old filter had the "Model #86889" number printed on it and the filter did too. The package wrapper stated "Designed to fit KENMORE EF-1" and "Sold by Sears".The filters were IDENTICAL but for the dirt on the old one. The Sears store replacement was 4 times as much so I figured I had little to lose trying it, and very glad I did.

In this pic, the filter on the left goes on the one in the right. This'll make sense and fit if you have the right vacuum cleaner. Make sure you have the appropriate vacuum for these filters! You can check the manufacturer's website and the manual.

In the Pleatco catalog there is a adapter that has the 2 lugs on one end and a threaded end opposite. I was lucky that i did not throw out my old filter, so i used the adapter in the hottub on the new filter. Perhaps if you call the 800-886-5160 phone number they could find you one. I can email you some pictures of my adapter if you need them if you provide a address for me. Mine is for a dream maker hottub.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

The air intake is the "oval" area on the front of the machine. The filter is right behind the oval area. The "clean" air comes from the left side. Don't hesitate to buy this as you will be quite satisfied with it.

I have always had, used the filters as shown, white, for my Hoover FloorMate. They're pliable, meant to bend some, but hardly flimsy or of poor quality for normal use in the device. I am unaware of any change in replacement filter, wondering if they have so made a change or if you got a filter for a different model accidentally. I do know from your comment, I will avoid the black rimmed filter, direct purchase or if it comes in lieu of an ordered white one. I doubt I helped you as much as you me, so thanks.

Check to make sure it is going on the right rail. I had the same problem the first time I changed my filter.

Both sides are the same, so it can be oriented either direction. Just be aware the motor and electrical connection is opposite the drain side.

I can't answer that I am sorry.. I have a Kenmore Progressive. Not sure if they are the same.
