EveryDrop EDRARXD1 Filter A – Genuine Whirlpool OEM Water Filter
Microplastics are too small to see or taste, but that does not mean they cannot be present in drinking water. The genuine EveryDrop EDRARXD1 Filter A is precision-engineered to reduce 99% of microplastics, including particles described by EveryDrop as approximately 60 times smaller than a grain of sand.
Filter A is the official OEM refrigerator water filter for select Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana and JennAir refrigerators. It also replaces older Whirlpool part numbers W11536439 and W11519209.
Triple Filtration Technology
The EDRARXD1 is powered by a renewable coconut-shell-based activated carbon core. Water passes through three filtration stages designed to target contaminants of different sizes:
• Large-particle filtration
• Medium-size micro-filtration
• Targeted microscopic absorption
This advanced filtration design goes beyond basic chlorine taste and odor reduction. The current EveryDrop product information states that Filter A is certified to reduce up to 75 potentially harmful contaminants, including selected heavy metals, industrial chemicals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and volatile organic compounds.
NSF 42, 53 and 401 Certified
The EDRARXD1 filtration system is independently tested and certified by UL Solutions against NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53 and 401, as well as CSA B483.1, for the reduction of the specific contaminants listed in its official performance data sheet.
These standards cover different filtration claims:
NSF/ANSI 42 covers aesthetic effects such as chlorine taste, odor and Class I particulates.
NSF/ANSI 53 covers specific contaminants with potential health effects, including lead, mercury, asbestos, cysts, benzene, turbidity and selected volatile organic compounds.
NSF/ANSI 401 covers specified emerging or incidental contaminants, including selected pharmaceuticals, chemicals and microplastics.
Certification applies only to the contaminants and performance levels listed in the official performance data sheet. It does not mean the filter removes every substance that may be present in drinking water.
Reduces 99% of Microplastics
EveryDrop Filter A is certified to reduce 99% of microplastics under its specified testing conditions. It also reduces Class I particles measuring approximately 0.5 to 1 micron.
The certified filtration claims include selected contaminants such as:
• Lead
• Mercury
• Chlorine taste and odor
• Class I particulates
• Asbestos
• Cysts
• Benzene
• Atrazine
• Toxaphene
• Turbidity
• Atenolol
• Carbamazepine
• Ibuprofen
• Naproxen
• Bisphenol A
• DEET
• Selected volatile organic compounds
These contaminants are not necessarily present in every household water supply. Actual performance may vary according to incoming water quality, usage and operating conditions.
Why Choose a Genuine EveryDrop Filter?
EveryDrop Filter A is developed for the water-filtration systems used in compatible Whirlpool Corporation refrigerators. Its shape, rotating installation knob, water-flow characteristics and sealing points are designed for the intended filter housing.
Whirlpool warns that non-genuine filters may cause damage to a refrigerator. A cartridge that does not fit or seal properly can also cause reduced water flow, leaking or unfiltered water bypassing the filtration media.
Using the genuine EDRARXD1 helps provide:
• Correct fit in compatible Filter A housings
• Verified contaminant-reduction performance
• Proper refrigerator water flow
• Tool-free installation
• Factory-approved filtration for supported appliance brands

Compatible Refrigerator Brands
EveryDrop Filter A is designed for select refrigerators from:
• Whirlpool
• Maytag
• KitchenAid
• Amana
• JennAir
It is used in selected French-door, side-by-side and top-mount refrigerators equipped with the Filter A rotating-knob housing.
Compatible models may include specific revisions of refrigerators such as KitchenAid KRFC300ESS and Maytag MFI2570FEZ. The characters and numbers after the base model are important. For example, one revision may use Filter A while an earlier version of the same refrigerator may use a different cartridge.
Always use the manufacturer’s filter finder or compare the full appliance model number before ordering.
Easy Rotating-Knob Installation
The EDRARXD1 uses an innovative rotating knob designed to simplify installation and removal.
1. Locate the water-filter compartment inside the refrigerator.
2. Open the filter cover where applicable.
3. Rotate the old Filter A knob counterclockwise.
4. Pull the old cartridge out of the housing.
5. Remove the new EDRARXD1 from its packaging.
6. Inspect the cartridge and sealing surfaces for shipping damage.
7. Align the new filter with the housing.
8. Insert it fully and rotate the knob clockwise until it locks.
9. Close the filter-compartment cover.
10. Flush the water system according to your refrigerator owner’s manual.
11. Reset the filter-status indicator where applicable.
Do not force the cartridge into the housing. If it does not rotate or lock properly, remove it and check the alignment before trying again.
Filter Life and Capacity
Replace the EDRARXD1 at least every six months, when the refrigerator’s filter indicator tells you to replace it, or earlier if you notice:
• Slower dispenser flow
• An unusual taste or odor
• Reduced ice production
• Visible sediment
• A filter warning on the refrigerator display
The official performance sheet lists a rated capacity of 200 gallons when used with the W11569863 PID filtration system. It lists a 100-gallon capacity for the W11569861 system without PID. Because capacity can depend on the refrigerator’s filtration configuration, verify the specifications for your exact appliance.
