KSRD22FKBL14 specifics — where the filter actually lives
Finding the bay is the easy part — this chassis puts it behind the lower fresh-food trim or base grille in most side-by-side layouts, the same estate every side-by-side chassis refrigerator in this family uses. This is a twist-style bay, the friendlier design: half a turn of wrist work in each direction is the whole procedure; everything else is towel management.
Practical notes from the install forums: the first removal takes more force than every later one, and skipping the reset leaves a change-light glaring at a perfectly fresh cartridge. The KSR in KSRD22FKBL14 is doing real work: in this catalog KSR is the side-by-side chassis marker; internal layouts vary, the bay layout does not. A -14 style suffix means running production revisions; filter fit stayed constant across the whole run.
KSR vs KTR — what the prefix tells you
KSR versus KTR is the first fork in the parts catalog: The door count differs — side-by-side chassis against top-freezer — but the bay and the cartridge order do not. The KSRD22FKBL14 code suggests roughly 2001 to 2005 production — approximately right, which is all a parts search needs.
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.

KSRD22FKBL14 filter questions
Kenmore KSRD22FKBL14: how do I clear the change-filter light?
With the new cartridge seated, press and hold the filter reset until the light clears — panel placement differs, so the KSRD22FKBL14 manual’s filter section has the exact control for your trim.
Running the KSRD22FKBL14 with an empty filter bay — does it need a cap?
No bypass needed: the EDR5RXD1 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 EDR5RXD1 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 KSRD22FKBL14?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the EDR5RXD1 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.
