KBRS22EVMS00 specifics — where the filter actually lives
On the KBRS22EVMS00, the cartridge behind the lower fresh-food trim or base grille in most side-by-side layouts, a spot that survives trim changes across the KBR run. The seat is a twist-in design — a quarter turn one way to release, the other to seat, and the only tool you need is a towel for the drip.
Before you click buy, two things: a stiff first removal on builds that sat on the same cartridge for years, and an indicator light that wants a manual reset after a non-OEM cartridge is seated. One prefix, one chassis family: KBR on this badge family usually means side-by-side variant stock, which is why fit charts list cartridges by chassis code first. Suffix 00 = production revision; filtration hardware was not part of the revision cycle.
KBR vs KSR — what the prefix tells you
Same parts shelf, two cabinet missions — KBR covers side-by-side variant, while KSR covers side-by-side chassis. The cartridge line is usually shared across both — order by chassis, not by door count. Model-code reading puts the KBRS22EVMS00 at roughly 2008 to 2012 — treat that as approximately right, not a production guarantee.
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.

KBRS22EVMS00 filter questions
KBRS22EVMS00 filter light will not turn off — what is the reset step?
Press and hold the reset control until the light clears (a few seconds), with the new cartridge already seated — the KBRS22EVMS00 owner’s manual lists the button location for your control panel.
Will the Kenmore KBRS22EVMS00 dispense water without a filter cartridge?
No bypass needed: the EDR4RXD1 bay closes on its own, and running empty simply means the water skips filtration until you seat a new cartridge.
Are off-brand filters safe for a Kenmore 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 KBRS22EVMS00?
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.
