ARS2664BS specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the ARS2664BS bottom of the fresh-food column or at the grille line in most side-by-side builds, so expect to clear one shelf edge before you have working room. It is a twist-lock bay: offer the cartridge, feel the base o-ring register, and lock it by geometry rather than by force.
Owners of the ARS2664BS report the same friction points: the reset control is the step everyone skips; the light will not acknowledge a new cartridge on its own. Read the prefix and the maintenance writes itself: it usually places the machine in the side-by-side family, a strong hint at the cartridge line, the reset behavior, and the service documentation worth consulting. Finish letter sets like BS never alter the bay; the EDR4RXD1 line fits the whole set.
ARS vs AFI — what the prefix tells you
Same parts shelf, two cabinet missions — ARS marks side-by-side builds and AFI marks French-door builds. Cross-checking the prefix before ordering is faster than returning the wrong cartridge. Working from the model code, the ARS2664BS lands somewhere around 2013 to 2017; treat the window as approximate.
Swap it in 5 minutes
- Twist the old cartridge a quarter turn counterclockwise and pull it straight down — keep a towel in reach for the dribble.
- Fill the new cartridge with cold tap water so the chamber is not fighting an air pocket.
- Offer the new cartridge to the bay, push up, and twist a quarter turn clockwise until the stop catches.
- Run two gallons through the dispenser to flush carbon fines, then hold the filter-reset control until the status light clears.

ARS2664BS filter questions
Filter light reset on the Amana ARS2664BS — how?
Hold the filter-reset control a few seconds after seating the new cartridge; placements vary by control panel, and the ARS2664BS manual’s filter-status page has the exact spot.
Running the ARS2664BS with an empty filter bay — does it need a cap?
You can, but unfiltered — the EDR4RXD1 bay needs no bypass plug; it just passes water through without filtering while the cartridge is out.
Are off-brand filters safe for an Amana refrigerator?
Certified aftermarket cartridges are built to the same NSF test standards as the OEM part, and federal warranty law (Magnuson-Moss) protects your coverage when you use them.
Why is the OEM EDR4RXD1 cartridge so much more expensive?
Part of the OEM price is the badge and the distribution chain. Certified alternatives meet the same test standards at a lower unit price, especially in multi-packs.
How often should I replace the filter in my ARS2664BS?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the EDR4RXD1 class cartridges all share that service interval.
Do I need to turn off the water supply to change it?
No — the bay is designed for a live swap. Expect a small dribble, keep a towel in reach, and flush a couple of gallons through the new cartridge before the first glass.
