TS25AFXKT04 specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the TS25AFXKT04 inside the fresh-food cavity, position varying with dispenser spec, a deliberate placement that keeps the swap away from the door seals and drawer rails. It is a twist-lock bay: the ears on the cartridge neck are the guide — line them up, lift into the seat, and quarter-turn home.
Field notes: the line is still live when you open the bay, so keep a towel in reach, and expect the filter-status light to need a reset before it believes the new cartridge. One more anchor for the parts search: the TS25AFXKT04 shares its water path with the whole EDR5RXD1 generation — the cartridge is the common denominator, not the door count. A -04 style suffix means running production revisions; filter fit stayed constant across the whole run.
Reading the TS25AFXKT04 model code — what the digits tell you
Catalog convention puts the TS25AFXKT04 near 2001 to 2005 — an approximation, useful for bracketing the cartridge era only. Order by cartridge, not by cabinet: whatever the door count, the cartridge answer for this chassis is the EDR5RXD1 family.
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.

TS25AFXKT04 filter questions
Reset procedure for the change-filter alert on the TS25AFXKT04?
With the new cartridge seated, press and hold the filter reset until the light clears — panel placement differs, so the TS25AFXKT04 manual’s filter section has the exact control for your trim.
TS25AFXKT04 with no water filter installed — safe, or does it need a bypass?
No — the EDR5RXD1 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 an Estate 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 EDR5RXD1 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 TS25AFXKT04?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the EDR5RXD1 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.
