The backing plate holds the water filter in place and connects the incoming water lines to it, directing water through the filter to supply the dispenser and ice maker. When the plate cracks, warps, or no longer seats the filter correctly, the filter can leak or fail to seal, and water flow to the dispenser and ice maker can drop or stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a genuine OEM part from Whirlpool, not an aftermarket equivalent, so the fit and the filter connection match what came with the refrigerator.
