Is this one of those American things, or am I just ignorant?
I've never changed, or heard about changing a water filter in the fridge 🤔😵💫 sounds like I'm living a unclean life..
It really is weird. I guess from other comments that this is something about those fancy and expensive fridges that no normal people have with water dispenser on the door and ice sometimes... Maybe?
At least 50% of American fridges do indeed have ice and filtered water dispensers built in and I think they're great :) ice cold, delicious water any time of the day? Yes please.
They're not even that "fancy/expensive" as it's fairly standard
if i want cold water, i just let the tap water run for a bit and drink that. granted, its not ice cold, but do you really need it to be freezingly cold?
Honestly, yes. Frigid water is extremely tasty
look at mr. freeze over there 😎
Something something, ICE TO MEET YOU! something something.
The water in my sink only gets lukewarm at the coldest.
It gets pretty much ice cold where I live. It's nice
The last time I got a fridge I bought the cheapest one it could find. It dispensed water but did not have an ice maker.
I just turn the tap to cold for that
I do like that my countries tap water is perfectly drinkable/inflammable. I have no need for such fridges.
Just fyi inflammable means flammable .

Inflammable is something that can be inflamed
But in case anyone was at risk of thinking they understood the logic of the English language, flammable also means inflammable, so good luck.
Most of North America, the tap water is perfectly drinkable; but it can still be improved with extra filtration.
These also provide water colder than a tap can.
To be clear, very much a luxury item, not a necessity in any way. They've just become quite common over here.
The filters are also particulate filters; they won't do much if your water is actually considered unhealthy due to bacterial contamination/you're on a boil water notice.
Does your fridge have plumbing + a water/ice dispenser in the door?
A regular fridge obviously wouldn't need cleaning of parts it doesn't have.
Ooooh that makes sende. No my fidge doesn't, and I've never seen that IRL. It looks useful, when I want ice cubes I need to manually fill an ice tray/bag and put that in the freezer.
Some fridges have a water/ice dispenser built into the door. Not all American fridges have it and it's available in other markets too.
US people have a fetish about ice cold drinks that's not very common outside of their country.
Like "the brits drink warm beer (6° instead of -2°), what kind of prehistoric shit is that⸘"
No, they don’t.
