EDR6D1 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Filter

This EDR6D1 Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Filter (EDR6D1) is a critical component for maintaining the quality of water supplied to your refrigerator's ice and water dispensers. Manufactured by Whirlpool, it ensures a perfect fit and compatibility with select Whirlpool and KitchenAid top-freezer refrigerators, as well as certain Kenmore models. This genuine part, also known as the EveryDrop Water Filter, is designed to clean and purify water by filtering it through an activated carbon block media. This process effectively absorbs contaminants and particles, such as lead, cysts, and chlorine taste and odor, providing cleaner, fresher tasting ice and chilled drinking water on demand. As the filtration media becomes saturated over time, water flow may reduce, signaling that it's time to replace the filter. Typically located in the bottom left-hand corner at the front of the appliance, it is white in color and measures 1-1/8 inches deep, 2-1/8 wide, and 10-1/2 inches high. It's specifically recommended to change the filter every 6 months, or more frequently if you notice a significant decrease in water flow. Symptoms indicating that the EDR6D1 may need to be replaced include reduced water flow and changes in water taste or odor. Before purchasing, it's crucial to check your device's model number to ensure compatibility with this EDR6D1 Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Filter.
