If your old filter pops out with a button instead of a twist, you've got a Filter 2 fridge β and this is the exact one it needs.
This is the genuine Whirlpool EveryDrop EDR2RXD1, the direct replacement for the older W10413645A. It's built around a three-stage carbon filtration process, moving water through large-particle filtration, then finer micro-filtration, then a final stage that targets the smallest, hardest-to-catch particles β including microplastics, which most bargain filters aren't even tested against.
Real certification, not just a sticker
Independently certified by NSF International under three separate standards: 42 (taste and odor), 53 (health-related contaminants like lead and VOCs), and 401 (emerging contaminants β pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and roughly 99% of microplastics). Current testing puts it at 70 reduced contaminants total, a meaningful jump from the 7 contaminants the original W10413645A was rated for.
Installing it is about as simple as fridge filters get
- Locate the filter housing β usually the top-right interior corner or the bottom grille, depending on your model.
- Press the release button (or pull the tab, depending on your specific fridge) and slide the old cartridge out.
- Unpack the new EDR2RXD1 and slide it straight into the housing until it locks β no twisting required.
- Flush 2β3 gallons through the dispenser to clear air and settle the carbon before drinking.
If water flow seems weak right after install, that's almost always trapped air, not a bad filter β a bit more flushing usually clears it.

Fits select models from: Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, JennAir, and Kenmore refrigerators using an internal push-button filter compartment
One filter swapped every 6 months keeps roughly 1,500 disposable water bottles out of the equation over its lifetime β a small habit that adds up if you're doing it consistently.
If you're not sure whether your fridge takes Filter 1 or Filter 2, check the shape of your old cartridge or your owner's manual before ordering β they're not interchangeable, even though the numbering makes it tempting to assume they are.
