KSRS22FGBL00 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, a spot that survives trim changes across the KSR run. The seat is a twist-in design — seat the cartridge against the o-ring, quarter-turn clockwise, and let the keyed flange do the aligning for you.
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. Prefix literacy pays here: in this catalog KSR is the side-by-side chassis marker; internal layouts vary, the bay layout does not. Suffix 00 = production revision; filtration hardware was not part of the revision cycle.
KSR vs KTR — what the prefix tells you
Know your KSR from your KTR and the cartridge question halves: side-by-side chassis against top-freezer, respectively. Filter bays rarely care — the media family carries over more often than not. The KSRS22FGBL00 decodes to about 2017-2021 by catalog convention — close enough to bracket the cartridge generation, not close enough to certify.
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.

KSRS22FGBL00 filter questions
KitchenAid KSRS22FGBL00: how do I clear the change-filter light?
Press and hold the reset control until the light clears (a few seconds), with the new cartridge already seated — the KSRS22FGBL00 owner’s manual lists the button location for your control panel.
Running the KSRS22FGBL00 with an empty filter bay — does it need a cap?
Nothing to buy — the EDR5RXD1 housing closes without a cartridge; water runs unfiltered until the next one goes in.
Are off-brand filters safe for a KitchenAid 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 KSRS22FGBL00?
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.
