EveryDrop EDR2RXD1 Filter 2, Whirlpool OEM, Push-Button, NSF 42/53/401

If your old filter pops out with a button instead of a twist, you've got a Filter 2 fridge — 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 — 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 — 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

1. Locate the filter housing — usually the top-right interior corner or the bottom grille, depending on your model.
2. Press the release button (or pull the tab, depending on your specific fridge) and slide the old cartridge out.
3. Unpack the new EDR2RXD1 and slide it straight into the housing until it locks — no twisting required.
4. Flush 2–3 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 — a bit more flushing usually clears it.

One filter swapped every 6 months keeps roughly 1,500 disposable water bottles out of the equation over its lifetime — 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 — they're not interchangeable, even though the numbering makes it tempting to assume they are.
