Water Filter for the Crosley CS22AFXKT06 (EDR5RXD1)

CS22AFXKT06 specifics — where the filter actually lives

The CS22AFXKT06 carries its water filter inside the fresh-food cavity, position varying with dispenser spec — usually a kneeling-height or shoulder-height swap, not a teardown. It is a twist-lock bay: offer the cartridge, feel the base o-ring register, and lock it by geometry rather than by force.

The small print owners learn the hard way: plan on a towel for the first pull — sitting water in the line — and a five-second reset hold once the fresh cartridge is in. Under the cabinet differences one thing holds: the CS22AFXKT06 shares its water path with the whole EDR5RXD1 generation — the cartridge is the common denominator, not the door count. The 06 suffix here is a revision index, not a different machine — trim and door hardware can shift between revisions, the filter bay does not.

Reading the CS22AFXKT06 model code — what the digits tell you

The CS22AFXKT06 decodes to about 2001 to 2005 by catalog convention — close enough to bracket the cartridge generation, not close enough to certify. The model code varies with trim, but the parts logic does not: the water path is fixed at the EDR5RXD1 line — that asymmetry is what makes filter shopping simple.

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.
