The Kenmore 106.9552981 does not have a water filter for the ice maker. Sears Parts Direct has the parts diagram here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/6bcxngyrj2-000582/kenmore-1069552981-refrigerator-parts . The models with a water filter will have the filter in the refrigerator compartment, on the back of the refrigerator or near the middle of the toe kick grill. So I checked the cabinet and refrigerator liner diagrams first. I also used the part search feature on the above page.

I hope this helps.
