- How to install or replace everydrop® Filter 1 (EDR1RXD1) for 6 months of clean, fresh tasting water.
Find the correct filter for your refrigerator at everydropwater....
The filter compartment for everydrop® Filter 1 is located in the upper right hand corner inside the refrigerator or in the base grille. Lift the filter door up, pull the filter out and discard it. Open your new filter and remove the protective covering from the O-rings. Make sure the O-rings are still in place have the cover has been removed. When inserting the new filter into the slot, make sure the arrow is pointing upward. Do not force the water filter. If it does not slide in easily, rotate it until the notches are properly aligned with the grooves. Push the filter door closed so it snaps into place. Flush the dispenser and you'll be ready for 6 more months of clean, fresh tasting ice and water.
The only water and ice filter approved for Whirlpool®, Maytag®, Amana®, KitchenAid® and JennAir® refrigerators.*

I cannot get the replace filter notification to quit flashing, even though the filter has been replaced?
The filter is stuck and will not come out?????
Why does my filter replacement says I need to flush 4 gallons of water through the water filter before use? There is only a small water spout in the fridge (so the door has to stay open). 4 gallons would take a long time.
4 gallans!?
I didnt flush anything at first. I've def gone thru at least 4 gallons. Still seeing a lot of particulates..
It definitely says 4 gallons to flush through. And this video just ignores that. I love how we just produce crap these days and expect everyone to just know how to do everything with zero instruction.
Attach garden hose to water dispenser spout and trail the other end of hose through house to back yard flower bed, so that water being flushed can water petunias.
Find a broom and prop broom handle against the water dispenser starter thingy, so that water is freely running from spout through garden hose and out the back door to petunia bed. Adjourn to TV and binge watch all episodes of This Old House while 4 gallons of water is flushing. To test water, run 8 ounces of water from dispenser into a clear glass. If water resembles freshly mixed concrete, particulates may remain. Repeat procedure as needed until water runs clear or you reach the end of This Old House reruns, whichever comes first. Make note to replace blackened petunias. Throw out defrosted and/or moldy food products and make note to buy bottled water.
I just bought a new filter and came straight to find a tutorial video because I couldn’t believe it when it said flush 4 gallons of water before first use.
I can't get the old one out
Precious filter is stuck. Afraid to close the door because there’s a lot of resistance and seems like it’ll break if I force it shut. How are you supposed to troubleshoot this?
Same problem. Wish Whirlpool would reply. Having to get repair to fix it
Every time I replace the filter there's a clog. And I made sure it's the right way. What is wrong with the thing?
Same here
It just happened to us three days ago. We Googled it and we read that we needed to keep it pressed for five minutes, we tried that it didn't work. Then we read that we had to press it for five seconds intervals for two minutes, but that didn't work either. In the mean time we had tried taking the filter in and out about five times as we tried the other suggestions but it had not worked. But we tried taking it out again a sixth time and this time when we pushed the filter back in, it finally worked! What a relief, we never had had that problem in the four years we've had this fridge. However, now our problem this time is that the water tastes earthy or like chemicals! We did flush six 2 quart jugs, as we always do, but it's still tasting bad. It's the first time we order it from Amazon instead of going inside of Lowe's, so we're wondering if it has something to do with that!? Maybe it's an old one!?
And what happens if the filter doesn't come out when you open the door?
Have you found out mine wont come out and i tried unscrewing screws but i still cant get it out
Same problem, I found something on the internet that talked about turning the water off to the refrigerator disconnecting the hose. Letting any air out and run a little water from me wall line. I might have it a bit wrong but a whole lot of work for something that's supposed to pop out when u open the little door. Now it did the first filter change, but never again.
@@dbogmaw2138 I agree it is a lot of work i ended up shutting the water off and removing the screws and everything and had to push it out on my own and put it all back☹️
the old filter has fluid inside it. is that an indicator that the filter is still good? Is it safe to disposed old filter in trash?
Can i order a new piece the part that pulls out the old filter😊
HOW TO REPLACE REFRIGERATOR FILTER IN FIFTEEN EASY STEPS
1. Spend two hours on computer to determine plan of action.
2. Per instructions, enter refrigerator to locate required model number.
3. Go to store to buy magnifying glass and stronger reading glasses.
4. Armed with model number, spend another hour on computer to order needed filter online. This cost will be higher than your electric bill, but fear not, it will last you six months! Guaranteed delivery in six weeks. Upon delivery, filter will be stolen from front porch within half an hour.
5. Report theft to police, order another filter and make large gin and tonic.
6. Upon receipt of second filter, read all package instructions thoroughly. For this purpose, go to store to buy next strength reading glasses and stronger magnifying glass. (Tip: You may omit this step as package labeling includes no instructions for installation. However, it will inform you that the filter, which has now cost you more than a Swiss watch, will remove NO contaminants from your water whatsoever, but it may help by keeping your scotch and water from smelling like a swimming pool.)
7. Mix test scotch and water to determine aroma. Two test beverages may be required as results may vary. To ensure accuracy, pop popcorn and relax while watching computer videos of possible "filter door locations," purported to be mythical. Climactic moment of video will reveal that filter door is at floor level. Determine if filter change is really needed or they're just trying to rip you off for one of these things. Chlorine contamination must be clinically proven for this decision. Put scotch in glass and adjourn to neighbor's back yard for swimming pool water.
8. Leap at high speed through pyracantha hedge while escaping neighbor's large family of Doberman Pinschers, thus spilling most contents of test beverage. Become aware of linguistic root of botanical term "pyracantha," meaning "fire" and "thorn" in Greek, Hindustani and Congolese.
9. Apply remainder of test beverage to pyracantha wounds on legs.
8. Upon surrendering to necessity of filter change, place pillows on floor in front of refrigerator.
9. With help of Standard Poodle for support, kneel on pillows, being careful not to bleed on pillows or dislodge recent knee replacement.
10. Replace old filter with new filter as shown in video. Poodle will lick up water on the floor but rest reassured, dog will have no chlorine odor!
11. Doorbell will now ring. Poodle will bound to front door, barking significantly.
12. Make attempt to rise from floor, despite bleeding calves and knee pain.
13. Give up and summon Poodle. Be advised, poodle may maintain watch status at front door for some hours.
14. Open liquor door cabinet next to fridge and withdraw scotch bottle. Apply as needed.
15. Upon completion of installation, add bottled water to grocery list.
but what if the scotch tastes like chlorine. Can I substitute Southern Comfort?
This is a highly underrated comment
thanks for the laugh
Hilarious, I even have the support standard poodle 😂
This is funny until have to argue with fucking family about ut
The holder for my filter broke after the first time I changed it and now I have to have someone come to repair it. Second problem with this refrigerator in a little over a year. Just terrible!
What if I only have an Ice maker with no water dispenser. How do I flush the 4 gallons of water through?
this has been the most frustrating thing for me and trying to get a clear answer on how to change the water filter when you just have an icemaker and no water dispenser -- i finally found this video, but it still isn't clear to me where the water filter even is lol
I would recommend referring to your owner's manual for your fridge to see what they suggest. It may suggest that you allow 24 hours for the ice maker to produce a new batch of ice, and discard the first 3 batches of ice produced. This is based on the Ice Maker instructions for my fridge, which has an ice maker and water dispenser. I think this may be the equivalent of flushing the filter with 3 gallons of water. Hope that helps.
I cannot get the door to close
i couldn't either, hoping for a reply
Make sure that the filter is properly engaged, right way up, etc.. Carefully apply a firm pressure, more than you would think.
I kick it closed. twice. the first time doesn't work.
Good lawd I’m having this issue kick it closed ok
its hard, i was able to changed but i wasn't able to flush the 4 gallons of water ... A ny help???
mine leaks and water won’t come through, what do i do
Replaced the water filter and now water is keep on flowing from dispenser even the tap is not pressed? Any help
Interesting, this video of 2 yrs. ago, mentions nothing about the 4 gallon fluch through, but the video from 7 years ago does. Time to call. Consistency takes a holiday.
Good
I can't get the replacement to stay in! In 30 seconds it shoots out! What gives?
Mine worked well for a little while once I replaced it, but then it started making a really loud noise. How can this get fixed?
Same thing happened to us today. Did the loud noise stop for you?
@@marysutton9118 It didn't on its own... but try folding up a paper towel and placing it between the end of the filter and the little door to the filter area. That fixed our noise.
Thanks
How do I get it to reset
how to get filter to reset
On my frig, I pressed the “Light” and “ice type” digital buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. The water filter reset signal blinked a couple of times then went out. Not sure if we have the same.
What does thoroughly mean? How much water?? No instruction with box, and doesn’t even last 4 months.
I keep seeing read the manual thoroughly but it doesn’t even come with one!
@@combie190 they’re just ripping us off
@@combie190 I can't even read the MINISCULE writing on the package!
@@combie190 they mean the refrigerator manual
Just don't buy Whirlpool anything. Ever. Whirlpool produces cheap, poorly designed and poorly manufactured appliances. They're crap.
When I went to open the filter door the door fell off I don't know how to put it back together
just happened to me, i managed to get the door slightly back on but the thing that hooks onto the door seen at 0:23 i cannot figure out, there are no videos out there showing how to put the door back on hopefully you were able to get this fixed
Does this filter fit in every brand of refrigerator?
You must be joking.
@@j.seward2526 Got it!
your fridge says it somewhere.
Even though we put a new filter the dispenser still says to replace filter. How can we fix that?
I figured it out - Press the “Light” and “Ice Type” digital buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. My filter light blinked a couple of times then went out.
Try "options" then "filter reset"
Went through many gallons (way more than 4) of water to get rid of cloudy particles and it still doesn’t look great. It's not clear. Also when I first changed the filter it said 100% on the "filter status" and after I went through gallons, it went downs to 99%. Such a gimmick and extremely frustrating considering the price on these filters. I am writing down the date I changed the filter and I'm NOT going by the stupid filter status on the fridge.
Lego filters for the other day. Panda panda is not good for the one!
I just went to replace the filter and it says to flush 4 gallons! That's going to take hours to fill 4 gallon containers!! What a waste of money. I'm going back to ice cube trays!! Unbelievable.
I just did it and it took less than 5 minutes. 16 cups 4 times. Quick. Takes 1 second for each cup to fill
Called customer service, message not related to my request played over and over again; complete waste of my time. I will consider this strongly before buying from Whirpool again
