MFT2672AEB10 specifics — where the filter actually lives
Finding the bay is the easy part — this chassis puts it in the fresh-food compartment, typically the upper back wall in most French-door layouts — usually a kneeling-height or shoulder-height swap, not a teardown. It is a twist-lock bay: look for the index lugs, offer the cartridge, and rotate until they disappear into the housing.
Before you click buy, two things: flush before the first glass — new carbon beds shed fines for the first gallon or so, which is cosmetic, not contamination. The badge reads MFT2672AEB10, but the chassis reads MFT: count on MFT to place this unit among French-door builds; that placement carries the water-path geometry with it. A -10 style suffix means running production revisions; filter fit stayed constant across the whole run.
MFT vs MSD — what the prefix tells you
The MFT/MSD pair divides this family by layout — MFT answers to French-door; MSD answers to side-by-side; the water-filter answer is shared. Working from the model code, the MFT2672AEB10 lands somewhere around 2012 to 2016; treat the window as approximate.
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.

MFT2672AEB10 filter questions
Maytag MFT2672AEB10: 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 MFT2672AEB10 manual’s filter section has the exact control for your trim.
MFT2672AEB10 with no water filter installed — safe, or does it need a bypass?
No cap needed — the EDR2RXD2 bay passes water unfiltered while empty; it does not leak, it just skips filtration.
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 MFT2672AEB10?
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.
