everydrop filter numbers, decoded

Whirlpool-family fridges (Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, JennAir) take everydrop filters sold by number — Filter 1, Filter 2, Filter 3 and up, plus a lettered Filter A — and that code is the entire compatibility system. Here's how to find yours and what the code and color on the cartridge mean.

Find your number in 30 seconds

Pull the old filter — the number is printed on the everydrop label with its code (EDR1RXD1 = Filter 1, EDR2RXD1 = Filter 2, EDR3RXD1 = Filter 3, EDR4RXD1 = Filter 4, EDR5RXD1 = Filter 5).
Check the color. everydrop's own listings say to pick the package that matches both the number and the color of your filter: Filter 1 is purple, Filter 3 aqua, Filter 4 green, Filter 5 pink.
Older Whirlpool part number instead? Search that exact number together with "everydrop" and pick the genuine listing that names it — don't guess from a similar-looking code.
Kenmore fridge? Some Kenmore numbers are now sold as everydrop filters (Sears lists 9084 → Filter 4 and 9085 → Filter 5). The Kenmore decoder has the full list.

Budget option for Filter 1 slots	EDR1-compatible	same slot	EDR1RXD1-compatible (check certification marks)

There's also a Filter 6 (code EDR6D1) — same rule: read the number off the old cartridge and match it. GE, LG or Samsung fridge instead? The fridge filter guide routes every major brand.

Push-in or twist-in?

It depends on the number, not the brand. everydrop describes Filter 1 as a push-in cartridge, and Filters 4 and 5 as twist-in. That's why a "close enough" number doesn't work: the mount itself is different. Either way, the swap is the same motion in reverse — remove the old cartridge, install the new one the same way.

Common questions

Are everydrop and Whirlpool filters the same thing?

Yes — everydrop is Whirlpool's filter brand, and its listings name it the official filter for Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana and JennAir refrigerators.

Can I use Filter 1 instead of Filter 4?

No. They're different cartridges with different mounts (Filter 1 pushes in, Filter 4 twists in). Match the number and color of your old filter.

How often should I replace it?

Every six months or 200 gallons, per everydrop — same rhythm as the rest of the household filters. Write the date on the new cartridge.
