UKF8001AXX750 specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the UKF8001AXX750 inside the fresh-food cavity, position varying with dispenser spec, a spot that survives trim changes across the refrigerator run. Mechanically it is a quarter-turn twist-in seat: offer the cartridge, feel the base o-ring register, and lock it by geometry rather than by force.
Before you click buy, two things: 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. Whatever the badge on the door says, the parts reality is the EDR4RXD1 cartridge family is what every fit listing for this chassis resolves to, OEM and certified alternative alike. The 50 suffix here is a revision index, not a different machine — trim and door hardware can shift between revisions, the filter bay does not.
Reading the UKF8001AXX750 model code — what the digits tell you
Model-code reading puts the UKF8001AXX750 at roughly 2012-2016 — treat that as approximately right, not a production guarantee. The trim walk never reaches the plumbing: every variant of this chassis locks onto the EDR4RXD1 line — that is the whole parts story.
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.

UKF8001AXX750 filter questions
How do I reset the filter light on the Maytag UKF8001AXX750?
Hold the filter-reset control a few seconds after the swap; the status light clears only with a seated cartridge, and the UKF8001AXX750 manual maps the control by panel type.
UKF8001AXX750 with no water filter installed — safe, or does it need a bypass?
The bay self-seals: with no cartridge the UKF8001AXX750 still dispenses, just unfiltered. No bypass plug exists for this line.
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 EDR4RXD1 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 UKF8001AXX750?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the EDR4RXD1 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.
