Whirlpool 9030 Refrigerator Water Filter
The short answer on the 9030
Kenmore 9030 is the earlier Sears-era number for the cartridge line that EveryDrop now sells as Filter 3. The 9030B and 9030P suffixes Sears used are packaging variants, not different media — all of them map to the push-in bottom-grille bay that EDR3RXD1 serves today. It carries 42+53+401 (series claim). Path: Kenmore 9030 = Filter 3 slot (EDR3RXD1 line).
Cross-checked fit coverage: 481 refrigerator models in the library behind this site. Install time: 5 minutes, no tools. A parts list showing 9030, 9020 or 9083 all points at the same Filter 3 family; where they differ is catalog year, not geometry. Cross-check the fridge model number before ordering any suffix variant.
9030 vs 9020 vs 9083 — which cartridge does your fridge take?
| Number | Identity | Electronics | Claims | Succession |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9030 | Earlier Sears number (9030/B/P) | No chip | Same cartridge line as EDR3RXD1 | Suffixes are packaging runs |
| 9020 | Oldest Sears number in the line | No chip | Same cartridge line | 2000s catalog era |
| 9083 | Later Sears number for the slot | No chip | Same cartridge as EDR3RXD1 | Newer catalog era |
| EDR3RXD1 | The live Filter 3 number | No chip | 42+53, with 401 across the series | Production number today |
Claim lines are part-number × version facts from our evidence file — compatibles typically stop lower on the certification ladder.
What a 9030 should cost
Sears-era numbers like the 9030 have no live published list price, and inventing one is worse than a blank. The maker's parts store is the reference for the genuine price; expect compatibles to cluster at $8–15 (42-only band) with a smaller 42+53 premium tier above.
ClearFit pricing follows a competitor −10% formula and is published per SKU once the product line goes live — no placeholder prices on this page.

Swap it in 5 minutes
- Pull the old cartridge straight out of the header — expect a small spill, not a flood.
- Align the new cartridge with the keyed slot; it only goes in one orientation.
- Push the cartridge home until the retention latch clicks.
- Run 1–2 gallons through the dispenser to flush carbon fines, then hold the filter-reset control until the status light clears.
What the 9030 is actually certified to remove
The OEM line carries NSF/ANSI 42 + 53, and the series also passes 401 The honest framing: the two tiers that matter in compatibles are 42-only (taste, chlorine, sediment) and 42+53 (adds tested lead and cyst reduction). A claim is a part-number × version fact, and NSF listings move with annual re-tests — verify in the certified-product database before you rely on one. And note the PFOA/PFOS reduction claim sits under NSF/ANSI 53 (P473 protocol), never under 401, whatever a listing says.
What is the difference between Kenmore 9030 and 9030P?
Nothing functional. The P suffix marks a later packaging run of the same cartridge; the media, the bay and the claims are identical across 9030, 9030B and 9030P listings.
Is the 9030 the same as EveryDrop Filter 3?
It is the same slot. Sears numbered the cartridge 9030 in its earlier catalogs; the current production number for the media is EDR3RXD1, and no adapter is needed in either direction.
Does the 9030 filter need tools to replace?
No — the push-in bay is a hand job. Expect five minutes: pull the old cartridge from the bottom grille, seat the new one, flush 1–2 gallons, reset the light.
What claims should a compatible 9030 carry?
NSF/ANSI 42 + 53 keeps you on par with the OEM series claim set (the series also passes 401). Listings citing only 42 deliver taste and chlorine work, not tested lead or cyst reduction.
