Whirlpool EDR2RXD1 (EveryDrop Filter 2) Water Filter — Fit Guide and NSF Certification

EDR2RXD1 — also sold as EveryDrop Filter 2 and superseding OEM part W10413645A — is the twist-in refrigerator water filter for Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, Amana, and Kenmore French door refrigerators with an upper-right interior filter housing. It is certified by Whirlpool Corporation to NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 401, covering chlorine taste, lead, cysts, and ten emerging compounds including microplastics. No aftermarket brand carries EDR2RXD1 as a certified replacement element in the NSF DWTU database as of August 19, 2026.

What Is the EDR2RXD1?

The EDR2RXD1 is a twist-in refrigerator water filter manufactured by Whirlpool Corporation under the EveryDrop brand. It replaces the legacy OEM part number W10413645A — both designations refer to the same filter; EDR2RXD1 is the current ordering reference.

The filter installs in the upper-right corner of the fresh food section interior. Installation uses a push-and-rotate (bayonet) mechanism — push up into the housing, then rotate clockwise to lock. This is distinct from the straight push-in installation used by the EDR1RXD1 (Filter 1). There is no RFID chip lock; no electronic pairing is required.

Which Refrigerators Use the EDR2RXD1?

The tables below list confirmed compatible model families from data-xref, sourced from authorized parts retailers (waterfiltersfast.com, fridgefilters.com, discountfilterstore.com — all retrieved 2026-08-19). Individual production suffix variants (e.g., 00, 01, 02) are not individually enumerated. Use the Whirlpool compatibility finder to confirm your exact model number before ordering.

IKEA's IX5BBEXDS series uses this filter in Whirlpool-manufactured IKEA refrigerators (source: data-xref). Legacy platforms (Admiral, Magic Chef, Norge, Roper) are reported by some retailers but are discontinued.

NSF Certification Status

The EDR2RXD1 is certified by Whirlpool Corporation to three NSF/ANSI standards. All data below reflects the primary retail variant (EDR2RXD1B, the blue-label SKU) per the NSF DWTU public database, checked 2026-08-19.

What "[Pb]" means on the NSF listing: The "[Pb]" flag next to the model designation is a materials compliance marker. It confirms the filter's weighted average lead content is ≤0.25%, meeting lead-free requirements under the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act and applicable state laws. It is not a filtration performance claim. Lead Reduction as a performance claim appears separately under NSF/ANSI 53.

EDR2RXD1B vs. EDR2RXD1R: The NSF database carries separate filings for the B (blue) and R (red) color variants. Standard-42 claims are equivalent for both variants; under Standard-401, EDR2RXD1B certifies 10 claims while EDR2RXD1R certifies 16 — the R variant additionally reduces DEET, Ibuprofen, Meprobamate, Metolachlor, TCEP, and TCPP. Under Standard-53, EDR2RXD1B additionally certifies 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene, 2,4-D, P-Dichlorobenzene, Styrene, and Toluene Reduction; EDR2RXD1R instead certifies MTBE, Mercury, and Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction. The table above reflects EDR2RXD1B, the standard retail SKU. (Source: data-nsf)

Certified Compatible Alternatives

There are no NSF-listed aftermarket alternatives for the EDR2RXD1.

We searched nine major aftermarket filter brands in the NSF DWTU database and found zero products carrying EDR2RXD1 as a replacement element. This differs from some other Whirlpool filter platforms — NSF-listed aftermarket alternatives exist for the EDR1RXD1 (Filter 1), for example. For EDR2RXD1, the Whirlpool Corporation OEM is the only option with an NSF replacement-element link as of 2026-08-19.

Many aftermarket brands sell filters marketed as compatible with EDR2RXD1. Some of those products carry NSF certification under their own element designation. However, that NSF certification does not extend to their use as an EDR2RXD1 replacement — the NSF Replacement Element column in those filings does not reference EDR2RXD1. We cannot confirm that any aftermarket filter's NSF performance claims apply when substituted for EDR2RXD1.

WQA / IAPMO status: The WQA certification database is robots-blocked and cannot be searched programmatically. IAPMO was not searched. This page will be updated when a manual WQA Board lookup is complete. Absence from the NSF database does not mean a product is uncertified by WQA or IAPMO.

Installation and Replacement

Step-by-Step Replacement

1. Locate the filter compartment in the upper right corner of the fresh food section interior.
2. Turn the existing filter counterclockwise (approximately a quarter turn) to unlock, then pull down and out to remove.
3. Insert the new EDR2RXD1 — push the filter up into the housing until it seats, then rotate clockwise until it locks.
4. Dispense and discard approximately 4 gallons of water to flush carbon residue before drinking.
5. Reset the filter indicator: press and hold the Water Filter reset button for approximately 3 seconds. The exact button location varies by model — consult your owner's manual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the EDR2RXD1 the same as the W10413645A? Yes. W10413645A is the older Whirlpool OEM part number; EDR2RXD1 (EveryDrop Filter 2) is its direct successor. The two designations refer to the same filter and fit the same refrigerators. When ordering today, use EDR2RXD1. (Source: data-xref)

Does the EDR2RXD1 reduce lead? Yes — Lead Reduction is a verified performance claim under NSF/ANSI Standard 53 for the EDR2RXD1B variant. The "[Pb]" symbol seen on the filter box or NSF listing is a separate materials-compliance marker confirming the filter is constructed with lead-free materials; it is not a statement about filtration performance. (Source: data-nsf)

Are there NSF-certified aftermarket replacements for the EDR2RXD1? Not in the NSF DWTU database as of 2026-08-19. Nine major aftermarket brands were checked; none carry EDR2RXD1 as a certified replacement element. Aftermarket filters sold as "compatible" may carry their own NSF or WQA certifications under different element designations, but those certifications do not cover the EDR2RXD1 replacement claim. (Source: data-nsf, data-context)

How often should I replace the EDR2RXD1? Every 6 months or 200 gallons, whichever comes first — that is the interval shown in the primary NSF filing (EDR2RXD1B). One platform-specific designation (W11602799) shows a 100-gallon cycle. If your refrigerator's filter indicator activates sooner than expected, check your owner's manual for model-specific guidance. (Source: data-nsf, data-xref)

What is the difference between the EDR2RXD1 (Filter 2) and the EDR1RXD1 (Filter 1)? They are different filters for different refrigerator configurations and are not interchangeable. Filter 1 (EDR1RXD1) uses a push-in installation in the upper grille or interior of side-by-side models and has a flow rate of 0.5 gpm. Filter 2 (EDR2RXD1) uses a twist-in installation in the upper-right interior of French door models and flows at 0.6 gpm. NSF-listed aftermarket alternatives exist for Filter 1 but not for Filter 2 as of 2026-08-19. (Source: data-context, data-xref)

How We Verify

We check NSF certification status directly against the NSF DWTU public database at https://info.nsf.org/Certified/DWTU/listings.asp. We do not lab-test filters. Compatibility data comes from authorized parts retailers; individual model number suffix variants require confirmation via the Whirlpool compatibility finder.
