If your fridge takes EveryDrop Filter 1, the number to order is EDR1RXD1 — and if the cartridge you just pulled out says W10295370, that is the same filter under its older name. This guide answers the whole job in one place: how to confirm the fit, what the genuine filter honestly costs, how to swap it, how to reset the light, and what to do when something goes wrong after the change.
Confirm EDR1RXD1 is really your filter
Do not order by fridge brand alone. Whirlpool-family fridges (Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid and JennAir) have used several filter types, so match the number printed on your old cartridge against this table, taken from the genuine product page:
| Number on your old filter | Order this |
|---|---|
| W10295370 | EDR1RXD1 |
| W10295370A | EDR1RXD1 |
| W10790813 | EDR1RXD1 |
| W10276924 | EDR1RXD1 |
| W10291030 | EDR1RXD1 |
| Kenmore 46-9081 / 9081 | EDR1RXD1 |
| Kenmore 46-9930 / 9930 | EDR1RXD1 |
| P4RFWB / P5WB2L | EDR1RXD1 |
| EDR1RXD1B | EDR1RXD1 (same filter, packaging variant) |
If your cartridge says a different number, stop and match that number instead — a filter that looks right but is not your part number will not seal properly. Still unsure which EveryDrop number your fridge takes? Our Complete EveryDrop Buying Guide puts all six filters in one table, and the W10295370 cross-reference explains the old-number change in full.
What EDR1RXD1 filters
EDR1RXD1 is a genuine carbon-block cartridge. It works by activated carbon filtration: water passes through a carbon block that reduces chlorine taste and odour, sediment and a range of contaminants. It is certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53 and 401, rated to reduce up to 70 contaminants, and that list includes lead — which is why so many people searching for water filters that remove lead land on this exact part number. It lasts about 6 months or 200 gallons, whichever comes first, and it filters everything the fridge dispenses: drinking water and ice alike.
The honest price truth
If you are shopping for discount refrigerator water filters, compare genuine with genuine — a much cheaper “compatible” is not the same cartridge, and a genuine cartridge at a headline price with a shipping threshold is not cheaper once a single filter ships.

How to swap it
The change takes about five minutes and needs no tools, and you do not need to turn off the water supply. Filter 1 sits in the base grille on many models and inside the upper-right area on others, so follow the housing steps for your model in our How to Replace EDR1RXD1 (Filter 1) guide:
- Find the housing — base grille at the bottom front, or inside the fridge behind a small filter cover door.
- Remove the old filter. On base-grille models, press the eject button, pull the filter out, then twist the cap off and keep it — you reuse it on the new cartridge.
- Prepare the new cartridge: remove packaging and protective covers, check the O-rings are seated, and fit the reused cap if your model uses one.
- Slide the new EDR1RXD1 in firmly until it clicks, or until the cover door starts to close on its own, then close the door fully until it snaps. A half-seated filter is the most common cause of slow flow and leaks after a change.
- Flush as the guide directs — a few gallons, in short bursts, until the water runs clear and steady — and discard the first batch of ice.
How to reset the Whirlpool filter light
Fitting a new filter does not clear the light on its own — the indicator is a reminder clock, not a sensor. Resetting is the last step of a filter change, never a substitute for one: fit the new filter fully, flush as directed, and close the fridge door — many panels ignore presses made with the door open. Then, on most Whirlpool-family models, find the button labelled “Water Filter” or “Filter Reset” and press and hold it for a full 3 seconds — count it out slowly, because a quick tap does nothing on these panels. The full walkthrough, including display models and models with no button, is in our Whirlpool filter light reset guide.
If something is wrong after the change
- Slow flow: the cartridge is usually not fully seated. Push it in again until it clicks, then flush again to clear trapped air.
- Cloudy or sputtering water: air bubbles and carbon fines working their way out. Keep flushing until the stream runs clear.
- Odd taste for a day: flush another gallon. New carbon can affect taste briefly; it should taste clean within the first day of normal use.
- Light still on: the reset step above was missed, done with the door open, or held too briefly. Re-seat the cartridge, close the door, then hold the reset button for a full 3 seconds. If it still stays red, work through our still-red troubleshooting hub before assuming the new filter is faulty — it almost never is.
FAQ
Is W10295370 the same as EDR1RXD1?
Yes. W10295370 and W10295370A are the older part numbers for the filter sold as EveryDrop Filter 1 (EDR1RXD1). They are the same cartridge and fit the same housings.
How often should I replace an EDR1RXD1 filter?
About every 6 months or 200 gallons, whichever comes first. Time matters as much as gallons: a filter left in for a year is spent even if use was light.
Do I need tools to replace it?
No. It is a no-tools cartridge change — remove the old one, seat the new one until it clicks, flush, and reset the indicator.
Can I use a bypass plug instead of a filter?
Yes, if you have a whole-house filtration system, a bypass plug keeps water flowing without a filter. Without one, do not run the fridge filter-free and expect filtered water.
What is the difference between EDR1RXD1 and EDR2RXD1?
They are for different refrigerator models. EDR1RXD1 is Filter 1, EDR2RXD1 is Filter 2. They look similar and are not interchangeable — always match the number on your old cartridge.
