Whirlpool W10295370A Refrigerator Water Filter
The short answer on the W10295370A
The A in W10295370A marks the 2014 revision of Whirlpool's Filter 1 cartridge: the housing, bay and media stayed identical to the bare W10295370, while the claim set moved up to include NSF/ANSI 53. It is the last pre-EveryDrop version of this slot and the direct ancestor of EDR1RXD1. It carries 42+53+401 (series claim). Replacement path: W10295370A superseded by EDR1RXD1 (EveryDrop Filter 1).
Verified fit: on-site model fit pages in progress for this part - meanwhile the Filter Finder lists every fridge it fits. Install time: 5 minutes, no tools. Plates inside 2011–2015 Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid and Amana twins show either revision; both take the current EveryDrop Filter 1 without any hardware change.

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 W10295370A 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 W10295370A the same as W10295370?
Same bay and same media — the A revision (2014) upgraded the certification claim set from 42-only to 42+53. Either number fits; the current EveryDrop Filter 1 supersedes both.
Will an EveryDrop filter work in place of the W10295370A?
Yes. EDR1RXD1 is the direct successor for this exact slot — no adapter, no housing swap. Buying the newer number is the safe path because it is the one still in production.
How do I install a W10295370A?
Five minutes, no tools: quarter-turn the spent cartridge out of the fresh-food compartment bay, seat the replacement until it latches, run 1–2 gallons to purge carbon fines, then hold the filter reset control.
What certification should a compatible W10295370A carry?
NSF/ANSI 42 + 53 to match the OEM revision. Compatibles that only cite 42 cover taste and chlorine; the 53 half is what brings tested lead and cyst reduction.
