Whirlpool EDR2RXD1 (EveryDrop Filter 2) Water Filter: Complete Replacement Guide (2025)
Whirlpool EDR2RXD1 (EveryDrop Filter 2) Water Filter: Complete Replacement Guide (2025)
The Whirlpool EDR2RXD1 (EveryDrop Filter 2) is the least common of the five EveryDrop filter numbers — and therefore one of the most frequently over-looked by buyers who default to the more common Filter 1 or Filter 3 without checking their installed filter label. Ordering the wrong EveryDrop number may result in a filter that appears to partially seat but will not seal or dispense water correctly.
Also known as: W10413645A, W10413645 | Type: Quarter-turn twist-in, upper interior | Life: 6 months / 200 gallons | NSF: 42 and 53 | Compatible price: $15.95 | Important: Not interchangeable with Filter 1 or Filter 3
Filter 1 (EDR1RXD1), Filter 2 (EDR2RXD1), and Filter 3 (EDR3RXD1) all look similar but have different thread patterns and dimensions. They are not interchangeable. If your installed filter reads EDR2RXD1 or W10413645A — you specifically need Filter 2. Order Filter 1 or Filter 3 and it will not seal correctly in your fridge. Always read your installed filter label before ordering.
Which Refrigerators Use the Whirlpool EDR2RXD1 (Filter 2)?
Filter 2 is used in select Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators and some Amana models. It is less common than Filter 1 and significantly less common than Filter 3. The key confirmation method remains the same: look at the label on your installed filter.
| Brand | Model Series | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Whirlpool | Select WRS side-by-side models (WRS526SIAH, WRS555SIHB, and similar) | Side-by-Side |

| Amana | Select ASD/ASI side-by-side models | Side-by-Side |
| Maytag | Some MSS side-by-side models (verify — may use Filter 1) | Side-by-Side |

How to Install the Whirlpool EDR2RXD1 — Step by Step
Locate the Filter
Open your Whirlpool refrigerator. The EDR2RXD1 is located in the upper interior of the refrigerator compartment — a twist-in cylindrical cartridge. Confirm it reads EDR2RXD1 or W10413645A before removing.
Turn Off Ice Maker and Remove
Switch off the ice maker. Rotate the filter counterclockwise approximately a quarter-turn until it releases from the housing, then pull straight out. Have a towel ready for a small drip.
Remove Cap and Insert New Filter
Remove the plastic protective cap from the O-ring end of the new EDR2RXD1. Align the filter with the housing notch, push in, and rotate clockwise to a firm locked stop.
Flush and Reset
Run 2–3 gallons through the dispenser and discard. Press and hold the Filter Reset button on the control panel for 3 seconds. Turn the ice maker back on.

Ice Quality as a Pressure Diagnostic — The EDR2RXD1 Side-by-Side Signal
Filter 2 is predominantly used in Whirlpool and Amana side-by-side models, where the ice maker is physically positioned adjacent to the fresh food compartment rather than in a separate drawer. Side-by-side ice makers are particularly sensitive to water pressure drops because they operate at lower fill pressures than French door ice-in-door systems.
Your ice cubes are a precise, free diagnostic tool for your filter and water pressure status:
| Ice Cube Appearance | What It Indicates | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full, clear, uniform cubes | Correct water pressure, filter performing normally | None — system is healthy |
| Small or misshapen cubes | Mildly restricted flow — filter approaching capacity or low supply pressure | Check filter age. Test supply pressure. Replace filter if over 4 months old. |
| Hollow cubes (shell with air pocket inside) | Significant flow restriction — filter partially clogged or home pressure below 20 PSI | Replace the EDR2RXD1 immediately. If new filter does not resolve, test home water pressure at the supply valve — Whirlpool requires 20–120 PSI minimum. |
| Flat, thin, or “clump” ice | Ice maker receiving insufficient water volume per fill cycle | Confirm filter is fully locked (not partial seat). Check supply valve is fully open. Replace filter if over 3 months old. |
| No ice produced at all | Complete water blockage — filter severely clogged or air lock in line | Replace filter. Run dispenser 3 minutes to clear air. Confirm ice maker arm is in the ON position. |
Most homeowners notice hollow ice cubes weeks before they notice any change in dispenser flow or water taste. If your Whirlpool or Amana side-by-side starts producing hollow cubes and the filter is more than 3 months old — replace the EDR2RXD1. This early intervention prevents the complete flow stoppage that occurs when a fully clogged filter blocks the ice maker valve entirely, which is a far more disruptive problem to diagnose and fix.
