EveryDrop EDR5RXD1 Refrigerator Water Filter 5
Replace your old refrigerator filter with the genuine EveryDrop EDR5RXD1 Refrigerator Water Filter 5. This Whirlpool OEM filter is designed for select side-by-side refrigerators that use the pink Filter 5 cartridge.
The EDR5RXD1 replaces several older Whirlpool, PUR and Kenmore filter numbers, including 4396508, 4396510, 9010, 46-9010 and PWF-NL240V-type systems. Always compare the part number on your current cartridge or check your refrigerator model before ordering because EveryDrop filters are not interchangeable.
Why Choose the Genuine EDR5RXD1 Filter 5?
The current EDR5RXD1 uses advanced Triple Filtration Technology powered by a renewable coconut-shell activated carbon core. Water moves through three filtration stages:
- Large-particle filtration
- Medium-size micro-filtration
- Targeted microscopic absorption
This filtration process is designed to reduce specified substances that can affect the taste, odor and quality of refrigerator water and ice.

How to Install EDR5RXD1 Filter 5
Filter 5 is generally used in compatible side-by-side refrigerators with a filter compartment in the lower front grille.
- Locate the filter housing in the refrigerator’s bottom grille.
- Press the release button if your refrigerator has one.
- Pull the old filter cartridge straight out.
- Remove the reusable cap from the old cartridge when applicable.
- Attach the cap to the new EDR5RXD1.
- Align the cartridge with the filter housing.
- Push the new filter in until it locks securely.
- Reset the refrigerator’s filter indicator according to the appliance manual.
Some older Filter 5 housings use slightly different cap or release mechanisms. Follow the instructions in your refrigerator owner’s manual when they differ from these general steps. Whirlpool provides a dedicated Filter 5 replacement guide and recommends using the appliance model number to locate the correct instructions.
Flush the New Filter Before Use
After installation, flush the refrigerator’s water system according to the refrigerator manual. Flushing helps remove trapped air and loose carbon particles from the new cartridge.
Temporary sputtering, cloudy water or uneven flow immediately after installation can occur while air is leaving the system. Continue dispensing until the flow is steady and the water appears clear.
When Should EDR5RXD1 Be Replaced?
Replace EveryDrop Filter 5 at least every six months or earlier when:
- The filter status indicator turns red.
- Water flow becomes noticeably slower.
- The water develops an unusual taste or odor.
- Ice begins to taste different.
- The refrigerator has been unused for an extended period.
- Your household consumes a large amount of refrigerator water.
The official performance sheet specifies that the disposable cartridge must be changed at least every six months.
