Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Filters

Every water filter Whirlpool has shipped since 2012, organized by the EveryDrop Filter 1–6 system. Identify your bay in the table below, or search your model number — exact fit, verified against Whirlpool service documentation.

The EDR numbering wasn’t always this tidy. Before EveryDrop launched around 2012, Whirlpool fridges ran on a scatter of legacy numbers — W10295370A (officially superseded by EDR1RXD1), W10295370, W10276924, P4RFWB, P8RFWB2L and the Kenmore 46-9081 / 46-9930 twins — all of which the EveryDrop Filter 1 line absorbed. The Maytag UKF8001 family (UKF8001AXX, Pur 4396395, Kenmore 46-9006) became Filter 4, and the discontinued Filter 7 and 8 have no replacement. EveryDrop is the only filter line Whirlpool certifies for its own refrigerators — and for the Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana and Jenn-Air machines built on the same platforms. Kenmore’s 46-series twins map across through the legacy cross-reference.

Whirlpool filter FAQ

Which filter does my Whirlpool use?
Most Whirlpool fridges built since 2012 use one of seven bay systems — Filter 1 through Filter 6, plus the compact Filter A. Filter 1 is by far the most common: it’s the push-in bay found across the WRX, WRF and WRS ranges. Check the system table above, or enter your model number in the finder — the plate is inside the fresh-food compartment, usually on the left wall. One caveat: Filter 7 and Filter 8 bays are discontinued with no cartridge replacement, and a small run of inline-filtered machines uses an exterior 4378411RB-style cartridge instead of a bay at all.
Are Kenmore and KitchenAid filters the same as Whirlpool's?
Often yes. Whirlpool manufactures refrigerators under its own badge plus Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana and Jenn-Air, and EveryDrop is the only filter line it certifies across all five brands — the bays are identical, only the model naming differs. Kenmore is the special case: Sears-badged 46-series machines built by Whirlpool carry twin model numbers, and the legacy Kenmore numbers still map across — 46-9081 and 46-9930 both resolve to EveryDrop Filter 1, while 46-9006 resolves to Filter 4 (the UKF8001 family). A Kenmore owner can search either number and land on the same cartridge.
Do Whirlpool fridges have a filter chip like GE's XWFE?
No. Whirlpool’s Filter 1–6 bays are simple push-in slots with no RFID tag, no chip handshake and no flow meter — any certified compatible filter seats and runs without error messages, and there is nothing to bypass. That contrasts with GE’s ecosystem, where the RPWFE line carries an authentication chip that rejects generic cartridges outright. The one Whirlpool quirk sits in the Filter 4 bay: per Whirlpool’s own documentation, those machines dispense nothing unless a cartridge or the bypass cap is seated — so keep the cap when you pull an old Filter 4.
How often should a Whirlpool filter be replaced?
EveryDrop cartridges are rated for 200 gallons or 6 months, whichever comes first — and in a typical household the calendar wins. The fridge can’t measure flow on these bays, so the filter light is a pure countdown timer: it starts when you reset it, not when the media actually loads up. Heavy-use households (big family, ice-maker running constantly, hard water) should treat 5 months as the real ceiling, because exhausted carbon quietly stops removing chlorine before any visible symptom appears. A Filter 1 3-pack on subscription lands exactly one cartridge per cycle.
My fridge used an older part number — which EveryDrop filter replaced it?
Almost every legacy Whirlpool-family number folds into the EDR line. The big one: W10295370A is officially superseded by EDR1RXD1 (Filter 1) — the older W10295370, W10276924, P4RFWB, P8RFWB2L and P5WB2L numbers resolve there too. On the Maytag side, UKF8001, UKF8001AXX, Pur 4396395 and Kenmore 46-9006 all became Filter 4 (EDR4RXD1). Numbers like 4396841 and 4396710 sit in the EveryDrop crossover zone between Filter 1 and Filter 3 era machines — verify against your model number rather than trusting the old part alone.
