Water filtration assembly and method for electronics assembly

A water filtration assembly for an appliance, comprising:

• a housing comprising an inner surface adjacent to a housing internal volume, a fluid inlet opening, a fluid outlet opening, and a distal end;
• a filtration media block positioned within the housing internal volume, wherein a first flow passage extends in fluid communication from the fluid inlet opening, the first flow passage at least partially formed between the inner surface of the housing and an outer surface of the filtration media block, the filtration media block comprising a media block internal volume extending from a media block distal end opening, the filtration media block comprising a porous structure permitting fluid flow from the first flow passage to the media block internal volume;
• a housing end cap receivable at the distal end of the housing, wherein the housing end cap comprises a lead opening forming a lead passage extending along a centerline axis mutual to the housing end cap and the housing;
• a mating interface at which the housing end cap couples to the housing;
• and
• an electrically-driven module comprising a circuit board coupled to the filtration media block, a sidewall extending from the circuit board into the media block internal volume, a sensor positioned at the circuit board and within a sensor passage formed within the sidewall, wherein the sensor is in operable communication with the media block internal volume, wherein an electric wire lead extends from the sensor and the circuit board through the lead opening and lead passage at the housing end cap.
