Harvested from published manufacturer and retailer fit lists (sources at the bottom of this page). If your exact model is not listed, do not assume fit — check the number on your current part.
Kenmore (2)
SERIES-LEVEL / PARTIAL: No single complete Kenmore model list was published by Sears. Fit is by cartridge number: any Whirlpool-built Kenmore (106/596 series) calling for 46-9081, 46-9930 or Filter 1. fit_models below use the Kenmore series patterns published by RedStag for this cartridge - treat as series-level, not an exhaustive model list. Do NOT double-claim Whirlpool-brand model fits as Kenmore fits; the shared fit belongs to the OEM EDR1RXD1 record.
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.
Whirlpool-family manufacturer pages (Maytag/KitchenAid, opened via search excerpts) state: 'Filters certified by NSF International under NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 401' for Filter 1 / EDR1RXD1, reducing 70 contaminants incl. lead, cysts, pharmaceuticals and 99% microplastics. NSF listing is filed under Whirlpool Corporation (not the EveryDrop name) per independent NSF-listing summary. No PFOA/PFOS claim for Filter 1. MERGE LISTING CHECK 2026-11-11: downgraded to manufacturer-claimed under the certifier-listing rule — the identical Whirlpool cartridge (Filter 1 / EDR1RXD1) 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.

OEM is the Whirlpool EveryDrop cartridge. No verified aftermarket single price at a named retailer was captured in this pass (DiscountFilters ClearChoice equivalent price not opened for Filter 1), so am_price is null rather than guessed.
