MFF2055DRM00 specifics — where the filter actually lives
The MFF2055DRM00 carries its water filter in the fresh-food compartment, placement dependent on the dispenser package, a deliberate placement that keeps the swap away from the door seals and drawer rails. It is a twist-lock bay: look for the index lugs, offer the cartridge, and rotate until they disappear into the housing.
The recurring owner notes: a stubborn first twist when the old o-ring has set, and a change-filter light that will not clear itself until you hold the reset. Whatever the badge on the door says, the parts reality is the EDR2RXD2 cartridge family is what every fit listing for this chassis resolves to, OEM and certified alternative alike. The -00 tail tracks the revision ladder — each rung shares the identical EDR2RXD2 bay.
Reading the MFF2055DRM00 model code — what the digits tell you
The MFF2055DRM00 code suggests roughly 2014-2018 production — approximately right, which is all a parts search needs. The trim walk never reaches the plumbing: the MFF2055DRM00 and its siblings all drink from the EDR2RXD2 line, which keeps the parts search short.
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.

MFF2055DRM00 filter questions
Maytag MFF2055DRM00: how do I clear the change-filter light?
Hold the filter-reset control a few seconds after seating the new cartridge; placements vary by control panel, and the MFF2055DRM00 manual’s filter-status page has the exact spot.
MFF2055DRM00 with no water filter installed — safe, or does it need a bypass?
No bypass needed: the EDR2RXD2 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 Maytag 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 EDR2RXD2 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 MFF2055DRM00?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the EDR2RXD2 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.
