PARTIAL: Swing-down ceiling filter for Whirlpool/Maytag-built Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana and Jenn-Air models. fit_models below are the only individually named models verified in this pass (Home Depot Repair Parts fit callouts). Full model list not harvested - cartridge number (46-9005/46-9006/UKF8001/EDR4RXD1) is the reliable identifier.
Certification
Maker claims NSF/ANSI 42, NSF/ANSI 53, NSF/ANSI 401 — no independent certifier listing was found when checked on 2026-11-11. Treat the claim as unverified.
KitchenAid (Whirlpool) manufacturer page for EDR4RXD1 states: 'Filters certified by NSF International under NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 401' reducing 32 contaminants incl. lead, mercury, cysts, asbestos, pesticides and 99% microplastics. Certified status rests on that manufacturer certification statement for the OEM cartridge. MERGE LISTING CHECK 2026-11-11: downgraded to manufacturer-claimed under the certifier-listing rule — the identical Whirlpool cartridge (Filter 4 / EDR4RXD1 (UKF8001)) IS NSF-listed under Whirlpool's own system names (see the EveryDrop record in this dataset, whose listing this page links), but the Kenmore printing itself was not verified inside the NSF listing, and a fit-equivalent printing does not inherit the label automatically.
