Replace your used refrigerator filter with the genuine EveryDrop EDR4RXD1 Refrigerator Water Filter 4. This Whirlpool OEM refrigerator filter is designed for select Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana and JennAir refrigerators that use the green Filter 4 cartridge.

Certified Triple Filtration Technology
The EveryDrop Filter 4 uses a renewable coconut-shell activated carbon core and advanced Triple Filtration Technology. Water passes through three filtration stages:
-
Large-particle filtration
-
Medium-size micro-filtration
-
Targeted microscopic absorption
This process helps reduce substances that can affect the taste, odor and quality of refrigerator water and ice.
NSF 42, 53 and 401 Certified
The genuine EDR4RXD1 is independently certified under NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53 and 401.
-
NSF 42 covers chlorine taste, odor and particulate reduction.
-
NSF 53 covers specified health-related contaminants such as lead, mercury, cysts, asbestos and selected chemicals.
-
NSF 401 covers specified emerging contaminants, including selected pharmaceuticals, chemicals and microplastics.
The current EveryDrop Filter 4 is certified to reduce 32 potentially harmful contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides and 99% of microplastics.
Reduction claims apply only to the contaminants and percentages listed in the product’s official performance data sheet. This filter is intended for use with water that is already microbiologically safe.

Cross-reference numbers do not guarantee compatibility with every refrigerator. Always verify the appliance model or compare the new filter with the existing cartridge before placing an order.
How to Install EDR4RXD1 Filter 4
Filter 4 is generally installed in a ceiling-mounted compartment in the upper-right corner inside the refrigerator.
-
Open the water-filter compartment door.
-
Pull the existing filter downward so it is angled.
-
Turn the old filter to the left and remove it.
-
Remove the protective coverings from the new filter’s O-rings.
-
Insert the EDR4RXD1 into the housing.
-
Turn the filter to the right until it locks securely.
-
Push the filter upward and close the compartment door.
-
Reset the refrigerator’s filter indicator when applicable.
The precise door, tab and reset mechanism can differ between refrigerator models, so follow your appliance owner’s manual when its instructions differ.
Flush the Filter After Installation
Flush the refrigerator water system after installing the new filter. Flushing removes trapped air and excess loose carbon from the water line.
Most EveryDrop refrigerator filters require approximately four gallons of water to be dispensed after replacement, although the exact requirement should be confirmed in the filter instructions or refrigerator manual.
Temporary sputtering, cloudy water or an uneven flow immediately after installation is usually caused by air in the water line. Continue flushing until the flow becomes steady and the water appears clear.

When Should EveryDrop Filter 4 Be Replaced?
Replace the EDR4RXD1 approximately every six months or after filtering 200 gallons, whichever comes first. Replacement may be required sooner when:
-
The refrigerator’s filter indicator turns on.
-
Water flow becomes noticeably slower.
-
Water develops an unusual taste or odor.
-
Ice begins to taste different.
-
The refrigerator is used by a larger household.
-
The incoming water contains more sediment than usual.
A clogged, expired or incorrectly installed filter can reduce the flow of water to the dispenser and ice maker.
