## Short answer

Kenmore 46-9081 crosses to EveryDrop Filter 1 (EDR1RXD1) and Kenmore 46-9083 crosses to
EveryDrop Filter 3 (EDR3RXD1), per the comparable-part lists on Discount Filter Store's,
ICEPURE's, GlacierFresh's and AquaCrest's product pages. Both genuine cartridges are rated
200 gallons or 6 months, whichever comes first, and both are listed to NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and
401 per Discount Filter Store's product pages. Kenmore 46-9930 is the number people
misread: the two vendor pages that carry it put it under Filter 1, next to 46-9081, and no
page reached this session ties it to EveryDrop Filter 5 (EDR5RXD1), whose Kenmore numbers
are 46-9010, 9902 and 9908. The spec that must match is the part number printed on the
cartridge you are removing: 9081, 46-9081 and 469081 name one part per Discount Filter
Store's list. No vendor page publishes the Kenmore refrigerator model numbers each filter
fits, so Whirlpool's Compatibility Check tool is where to enter yours.

## Fact sheet

- **Answer:** Kenmore 46-9081 crosses to EveryDrop Filter 1 (EDR1RXD1) and Kenmore 46-9083 crosses to EveryDrop Filter 3 (EDR3RXD1), each rated 200 gallons or 6 months per Discount Filter Store's product pages. Kenmore 46-9930 appears under Filter 1 on two vendor pages and could not be tied to Filter 5 (EDR5RXD1) this session.
- **Applies to:** Kenmore 46-9081; Kenmore 46-9083; Kenmore 46-9930
- **Compatibility basis:** Discount Filter Store's EveryDrop Filter 1, Filter 3 and Filter 5 product pages, which print the capacity, interval, NSF/ANSI listings and the comparable Kenmore numbers for each cartridge
- **Assumptions:** Whirlpool's own EDR1RXD1, EDR3RXD1 and EDR5RXD1 product pages and Sears PartsDirect could not be reached this session, so every figure is a retailer's or a compatible maker's published figure, not Whirlpool's.; No page reached lists the Kenmore refrigerator model numbers each filter fits; Whirlpool's Compatibility Check tool is the only model-by-model lookup.; Every NSF/ANSI listing is as printed on the maker's or retailer's page; the NSF listing database was not queried.
- **Method:** Kenmore numbers, capacity, interval and standards read from each page's specification table and comparable-part-number list and set side by side. Nothing was tested.
- **Primary source:** [Discount Filter Store, EveryDrop Filter 1 (EDR1RXD1) product page](https://www.discountfilterstore.com/products/everydrop-whirlpool-ice-and-water-refrigerator-filter-1-edr1rxd1) (manufacturer or vendor document)
- **Facts verified:** 2026-09-13
- **Last updated:** 2026-09-13
- **Canonical URL (cite this):** https://ownerspec.com/water/parts/kenmore-9081-9083-9930-refrigerator-filter/

If the cartridge reads 46-9930 and you came here for Filter 5, do not buy yet: nothing reached this session supports that mapping, and the two pages that carry the number file it under Filter 1.

## Which EveryDrop filter fits Kenmore 46-9081, 46-9083 and 46-9930?

Kenmore sold Whirlpool-built refrigerators under its own part numbers, so each Kenmore filter number is a Whirlpool cartridge with a Sears label. The table sets each number against the EveryDrop part the vendor pages cross it to, and the [Filter 1 page](/water/parts/whirlpool-edr1rxd1-filter-1-refrigerator-filter/) and [Filter 3 page](/water/parts/whirlpool-edr3rxd1-filter-3-refrigerator-filter/) carry the full fit and cross-fit detail for each.

| Kenmore number (as printed) | EveryDrop part | Capacity and interval | Listed to, per Discount Filter Store's page | Cross-reference printed on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 46-9081, 469081, 9081 | Filter 1 EDR1RXD1 | 200 gallons or 6 months | NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401 | Discount Filter Store, ICEPURE and GlacierFresh pages |
| 46-9083, 9083 | Filter 3 EDR3RXD1 | 200 gallons or 6 months, 0.5 GPM | NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401 | Discount Filter Store and AquaCrest pages |
| 46-9930, 469930, 9930 | Filter 1 EDR1RXD1 per two vendor pages; not confirmed as Filter 5 | As Filter 1 | As Filter 1 | Discount Filter Store and ICEPURE EDR1RXD1 pages |
| 46-9010, 9902, 9908 | Filter 5 EDR5RXD1 | 200 gallons or 6 months, 0.5 micron nominal | NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401 | Tier1 Plus and USWF compatible pages on Discount Filter Store |

The 46-9930 row is the honest state of the record. Discount Filter Store's EDR1RXD1 page lists "46-9930, 469930, and 9930" among Filter 1's comparable numbers, ICEPURE's page does the same, and both compatible Amazon listing titles name 46-9081 and 46-9930 together under Filter 1. Whirlpool's own pages could not be reached to settle it either way.

Which Kenmore refrigerator models take each filter is the question no page answers. Every vendor names Kenmore generically next to Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana and Jenn-Air, and Sears PartsDirect returned 403 on every attempt, so the two working lookups are the number on the old cartridge and Whirlpool's Compatibility Check tool.

## What else fits the same housing?

Two compatible cartridges for 46-9081 were found with a live Amazon listing, and one for 46-9083 without. None of them names NSF/ANSI 53, which is the listing the genuine filters carry, so a compatible is the right buy only when a 53-class contaminant is not the reason for filtering.

| Alternative | Replaces | Capacity and interval | Listed to, per its own page | What differs from the genuine part |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GOLDEN ICEPURE RWF6700A (2 pack) | 46-9081, 46-9930, EDR1RXD1 | Not published | NSF/ANSI 42 and 372 per ICEPURE's page | No 53 or 401; 0.5 micron per ICEPURE's page, where the genuine page says not specified |
| GlacierFresh for EDR1RXD1 (3 pack) | W10295370, EDR1RXD1, 46-9081 | Not published | Not re-checked this session | No standard number can be credited to it until re-checked |
| Waterdrop for Filter 1 | EDR1RXD1 | Not published | NSF 42 and 372 per Waterdrop's page | Sold out on Waterdrop's page; no Amazon listing found |
| AquaCrest AQF-FF08 | 46-9083, 9030, EDR3RXD1 | 300 gallons or 6 months, depending on water conditions | NSF 42 and 372, certificate reference C0145653, per AquaCrest's page | No 53 or 401; no Amazon listing found |
| Tier1 Plus for EDR5RXD1 | 4396508, 4396510, EDR5RXD1, Kenmore 46-9010 | 400 gallons or 6 months | NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and 372 per Discount Filter Store's page | No 401; no Amazon listing found |
| USWF for EDR5RXD1 | 4396508, 4396510, Kenmore 9010, 9902, 9908 | 300 gallons or 6 months | NSF/ANSI 42 only per Discount Filter Store's page | No 53 or 401; no Amazon listing found |

The GlacierFresh cartridge is the one to be careful with: its page calls it a direct replacement for W10295370, EDR1RXD1 and Kenmore 46-9081, but its certification claim was not re-pulled this session, so this page credits it with no standard number.

## How often do they need replacing?

Every genuine cartridge on this page carries the same figure on Discount Filter Store's product pages: 200 gallons or 6 months, whichever comes first. At 200 gallons over 6 months that is about 1.1 gallons a day, so a household that draws more from the dispenser reaches the gallon limit before the date.

None of the three genuine pages publishes a condition that shortens the interval. The only compatible page that does is AquaCrest's, which qualifies its 300 gallons with "depending on water conditions".

## How do you tell a genuine filter from a counterfeit?

No manufacturer authenticity guide was reached this session, so this page carries no visual check. The only counterfeit-adjacent text found is AquaCrest's disclaimer that it is an independent brand using Whirlpool's numbers for reference: a compatible-brand statement, not an authenticity test.

The working check is the listing: the title names the EveryDrop part number and colour (Filter 1 purple, Filter 3 aqua, Filter 5 pink, per the Amazon listing titles), and the seller is the brand's storefront or ships from and is sold by Amazon.

**Which cartridge to buy**

The genuine EDR1RXD1 and EDR3RXD1 publish less than some compatibles do: no micron rating and no flow rate on the Filter 1 page, against ICEPURE's 0.5 micron and AquaCrest's 300 gallons. What they publish that no compatible does is the NSF/ANSI 53 listing. If you own a 46-9081, buy the genuine Filter 1 for 53, or the GOLDEN ICEPURE 2 pack if 42 is enough. If you own a 46-9083, buy the genuine Filter 3: its only compatible has no Amazon listing. If you own a 46-9930, buy nothing until Whirlpool's Compatibility Check has confirmed Filter 1 against your refrigerator model.

## Frequently asked questions

### What EveryDrop filter replaces Kenmore 46-9081?

Kenmore 46-9081 crosses to EveryDrop Filter 1, part number EDR1RXD1, the cartridge that replaced Whirlpool W10295370A. Three pages carry the cross-reference: Discount Filter Store's comparable-part list (9081, 46-9081, 469081), ICEPURE's EDR1RXD1 page and GlacierFresh's, which calls its cartridge a direct replacement for W10295370, EDR1RXD1 and Kenmore 46-9081. The genuine filter is rated 200 gallons or 6 months.

### What EveryDrop filter replaces Kenmore 46-9083?

Kenmore 46-9083 crosses to EveryDrop Filter 3, part number EDR3RXD1, the base-grille cartridge. Discount Filter Store's Filter 3 page lists 46-9083 among its additional compatible part numbers alongside 4396841, 4396710 and KAD3RXD1, and AquaCrest's AQF-FF08 page lists 9083 and 9030. The genuine cartridge is rated 200 gallons or 6 months at 0.5 GPM per Discount Filter Store's page.

### Is Kenmore 46-9930 the same as EveryDrop Filter 5 (EDR5RXD1)?

Not on any page reached this session. Discount Filter Store's and ICEPURE's EDR1RXD1 pages both list 46-9930 among Filter 1's comparable numbers, and the two EDR5RXD1-compatible pages found give Filter 5 the Kenmore numbers 46-9010, 9902 and 9908 instead. Treat 46-9930 as a Filter 1 number until Whirlpool's Compatibility Check tool says otherwise for your refrigerator model.

### How many gallons do the genuine Filter 1, Filter 3 and Filter 5 cartridges last?

All three carry the same rating on Discount Filter Store's product pages: 200 gallons or 6 months, whichever comes first. That is about 1.1 gallons a day before the gallon limit arrives ahead of the calendar. None of the three pages publishes a condition that shortens the interval, and the genuine Filter 1 page lists micron rating and flow rate as not specified.

### Which Kenmore refrigerator models take each filter?

No page reached this session prints the Kenmore refrigerator model numbers, the 106-series strings on the door label, for any of the three filters; every vendor names Kenmore generically alongside Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana and Jenn-Air. Sears PartsDirect returned 403 on every attempt. Enter the refrigerator model number in Whirlpool's Compatibility Check tool, or read the number off the cartridge you are removing.
