KSRX25FSST01 specifics — where the filter actually lives
Finding the bay is the easy part — this chassis puts it low on the fresh-food side or behind the base grille in most side-by-side layouts, the same estate every side-by-side chassis refrigerator in this family uses. The seat is a twist-in design — the bay wants the cartridge offered flat, rotated a quarter turn, and nothing more — hand pressure only.
Before you click buy, two things: the reset control is the step everyone skips; the light will not acknowledge a new cartridge on its own. The KSR prefix is the tell: in this catalog KSR is the side-by-side chassis marker; internal layouts vary, the bay layout does not. That trailing 01 is the revision counter: KSR chassis revisions share one water path, so the cartridge order never changes with it.
KSR vs KTR — what the prefix tells you
Same parts shelf, two cabinet missions — Chassis first: side-by-side chassis (KSR) versus top-freezer (KTR). The shared cartridge line covers both without adaptation. The KSRX25FSST01 decodes to about 2006-2010 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.

KSRX25FSST01 filter questions
How do I reset the filter light on the KitchenAid KSRX25FSST01?
Seat the new cartridge first, then hold the filter-reset control for a few seconds until the status light clears — the exact button placement varies by control panel, so check the KSRX25FSST01 owner’s manual page for filter status.
Is a bypass plug required for the KSRX25FSST01 when the cartridge is removed?
No bypass needed: the EDR3RXD1 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 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 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 KSRX25FSST01?
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.
