KSRT25CRMS01 specifics — where the filter actually lives
On the KSRT25CRMS01, the cartridge at the base of the fresh-food compartment in most side-by-side builds — grille or lower rear, the same estate every side-by-side chassis refrigerator in this family uses. This is a twist-style bay, the friendlier design: seat the cartridge against the o-ring, quarter-turn clockwise, and let the keyed flange do the aligning for you.
Owners of the KSRT25CRMS01 report the same friction points: run the first gallon or two through a fresh cartridge before drinking — carbon fines are normal — and reset the indicator so the countdown matches reality. One prefix, one chassis family: count on KSR to place this unit among side-by-side chassis builds; that placement carries the water-path geometry with it. The 01 suffix here is a revision index, not a different machine — trim and door hardware can shift between revisions, the filter bay does not.
KSR vs KTR — what the prefix tells you
Know your KSR from your KTR and the cartridge question halves: KSR covers side-by-side chassis, while KTR covers top-freezer. The cartridge line is usually shared across both — order by chassis, not by door count. Model-code reading puts the KSRT25CRMS01 at roughly 2005-2009 — 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.

KSRT25CRMS01 filter questions
How to reset the water filter indicator: Kenmore KSRT25CRMS01?
The reset is a press-and-hold on the filter control with the cartridge in place; check the KSRT25CRMS01 owner’s manual for where that control sits on your panel.
Kenmore KSRT25CRMS01: bypass plug needed without a filter?
No — the EDR3RXD1 bay seals on the cartridge itself, so removing it just means unfiltered water until the next change, not a leak.
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 EDR3RXD1 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 KSRT25CRMS01?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the EDR3RXD1 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.
