The EDR6D1 is Whirlpool Filter 6, and it replaces the older part number 4396701. It fits top freezer refrigerators from Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and Amana. If you find EDR6D1 or 4396701 on your old cartridge, this is your part. We stock the EveryDrop EDR6D1, Whirlpool Filter 6 in packs of 1, 2, 3 and 6.
The EDR6D1 is Whirlpool Filter 6 for top freezer refrigerators
The filter compartment sits in the bottom left corner of the refrigerator. Look there first when you go to change the cartridge.
The part number on Filter 6 breaks the pattern of its neighbors. Most numbered EveryDrop parts carry RX in the middle, as Filter 4 does with EDR4RXD1. Filter 6 is EDR6D1, with no RX at all. Type it as EDR6D1, with no RX, when you search for it.
The part number wraps the barrel of the cartridge in small print. The best time to see it is during the change, while the old cartridge is still in your hand. Take a photo of the label before it goes in the bin. If the print has worn away, the owner manual for your refrigerator lists the filter part in its maintenance section.
If your old cartridge is marked UKF8001 or EDR4RXD1, your refrigerator takes Filter 4, and our EveryDrop Filter 4 guide covers that cartridge. Our Whirlpool refrigerator water filter guide maps the rest of the EveryDrop line by part number.
The EDR6D1 fits two filter systems
The EDR6D1 is the replacement cartridge for two Whirlpool filter systems, the WF-L200V and the WF-NL120V. The cartridge is the same for both, and the system around it sets its capacity.
On the WF-L200V, the system has an indicator, and the cartridge capacity is 200 gallons. On the WF-NL120V, the system has no indicator, and the capacity is 120 gallons. Either way, the cartridge flows at 0.5 gallons per minute. The EDR6D1 is a mechanical and chemical reduction filter.
Plan a change every six months or 120 gallons
Change the EDR6D1 every 6 months or after 120 gallons, whichever comes first. Count both limits from the day the new cartridge goes in.
Spread over six months, 120 gallons comes to about two thirds of a gallon of filtered water a day. A home that pours a few glasses a day reaches the six month date first. A kitchen that fills pitchers from the dispenser every morning can reach 120 gallons before the six month date, and that home plans an earlier change.
Each year takes two cartridges at that pace. A 2 pack covers one year of six month changes. A 6 pack covers three years, and the next cartridge waits in your cupboard before the change date comes. Mark the install date on a calendar or in your phone, and add the part number to the same note.
Set the next cartridge to arrive every six months
A six month change is easy to forget. With Subscribe and Save, you choose the interval once, and we ship your next cartridge on that schedule. The new cartridge arrives when the old one is due. On our EDR6D1 page, choose a delivery every six months to match the change plan. You can adjust the interval, pause a shipment, skip a delivery or cancel.
