Product review (5 stars): Great OEM equal replacement for Kenmore.  No off taste or odor of water and ice.
Let me start by saying I own a newer (8 months old as of this writing) Kenmore refrigerator.  At 6 months, the warning light came on about changing the filter.  At Sears, the replacement filters were about $50 each.  OUCH!  I checked various websites and came back to Amazon as pricing is almost always better.  I looked at other sites and Amazon for pricing and model of filter I needed as Sears model numbers are different.  There are many out there.

Once I found out what filter I needed, I saw many different brands, including several generic styles and of course, pricing.  i did a lot of research and though some other brands are cheaper initially, you have to replace them more often so in the end, they may not be cheaper.  I saw the LG 3 pack and price was very reasonable and other reviewers rated them high.  I also later realized why the LG brand fits my Kenmore refrigerator.  My refrigerator is actually made by LG for Sears.  That was sort of a shocker, but I am good with it.  These filters changed out with a simple twist and installed just as easily.  i did not have to turn off my water to refrigerator (manual said I had to, but Sears said I did not).  I did the change out in about 1 minute.  You do have to run the water of refrigerator for awhile (many glasses worth) and also have to run ice maker and throw out first few batches of ice just like you do when you buy a new refrigerator.  Once this was done, there was no off flavor or off color to the water or the ice.  Just pure, filtered water and ice.

I would highly recommend LG Water Filters in the 3 pack as they are similar to other brand names and work well.  No after taste or off smell of water or ice.  You get clean, filtered water and it lasts 500 gallons or 6 months.
