Whirlpool 9083 Refrigerator Water Filter
The short answer on the 9083
Kenmore 9083 is the Sears catalog number (46-9083, 04609083000) for the EveryDrop Filter 3 cartridge. Whirlpool built these Kenmore refrigerators and stocked them with its own bottom-grille cartridge under Sears numbering — the current retail number for the same media is EDR3RXD1. It carries 42+53+401 (series claim). Replacement path: Kenmore 9083 = EveryDrop Filter 3 (EDR3RXD1).
Our library cross-checks this cartridge against 481 refrigerator models. Install time: 5 minutes, no tools. Filter 3 bays sit in the bottom grille of side-by-side and French-door builds; if your Kenmore carries its cartridge inside the fresh-food compartment instead, you are looking at a different slot — check the 9081 (Filter 1) entry.
9083 vs EDR3RXD1 vs 9030 — same bay or different?
| Part | Role | RFID chip | NSF claims | Replacement path |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9083 | Sears catalog number (46-9083) | No chip | Same cartridge as EDR3RXD1 | Sears numbering, Whirlpool-made |
| EDR3RXD1 | Current EveryDrop Filter 3 | No chip | 42+53+401 (series claim) | The modern retail number |
| 9030 | Earlier Sears number for this slot | No chip | Same cartridge line | Older catalog era |
| 9020 | Oldest Sears number in this line | No chip | Same cartridge line | 2000s catalog era |
Certification lines above are traced to our verified evidence file (part-number × version facts); third-party compatibles usually carry less.
What a 9083 should cost
We do not print an OEM list price for the 9083 — Sears catalog numbers stopped carrying published list pricing, and a guessed anchor is worse than none. Check the maker's own parts store for the genuine price; third-party compatibles cluster at $8–15 per cartridge (mostly NSF/ANSI 42 only) with a premium 42+53 tier above them.
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
- Press the release tab and draw the spent cartridge straight down and out — a couple of drips is normal.
- Match the new cartridge's keying to the slot; it seats in only one orientation.
- Push until the latch catches with a click.
- Flush 1–2 gallons through the dispenser to clear carbon fines, then hold filter reset until the light goes out.
What the 9083 is actually certified to remove
NSF/ANSI 42 + 53 (series also passes 401) Honest framing for buyers: compatibles split into 42-only (taste, chlorine, sediment) and 42+53 (adds tested lead and cyst reduction) — that second tier is the one worth paying for. 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.
Is the Kenmore 9083 the same as EveryDrop Filter 3?
Yes — 9083 is Sears dress for the EDR3RXD1 cartridge. Same bay, same media, same claim set; the number on the box only tells you which catalog it was sold through.
Does the 9083 water filter have an RFID chip?
No. Nothing in the Kenmore or Whirlpool cartridge line carries a chip — electronic lock-in is exclusive to GE's RPWFE line among mainstream US refrigerator filters.
How do I change a 9083 filter?
Five minutes without tools: pull the spent cartridge from the bottom-grille bay (a drip or two is normal), seat the replacement until it latches, flush 1–2 gallons, then reset the filter light.
Which certification should a compatible 9083 list?
NSF/ANSI 42 + 53 matches the OEM series (which also passes 401). The practical split in compatibles is 42-only versus 42+53 — tested lead and cyst reduction lives in the 53 claim.
