Kenmore 46-9084 & 46-9006 Refrigerator Water Filter — Twist-In Replacement for UKF8001, EveryDrop Filter 4 (EDR4RXD1), Whirlpool 4396395 & Bosch BORPLFTR20

About the Kenmore 46-9084 / 46-9006 Water Filter

The Kenmore 46-9084 (also printed as 9084 or 469084) and 46-9006 (9006, 469006) are Sears part numbers for the same cartridge Whirlpool sells as EveryDrop Filter 4 / EDR4RXD1, Maytag sells as UKF8001, and Bosch sells as BORPLFTR20 / 00798470. All of them use the identical twist-in body and internal carbon block, which is why a single filter covers such a wide range of refrigerators.

Inside is an activated carbon block that water passes through on its way to the dispenser and ice maker. It reduces chlorine taste, chlorine odor and sediment, so the water and ice you pour taste noticeably cleaner than unfiltered tap water. A fresh cartridge also keeps flow rate steady — a clogged filter is the single most common cause of a slow dispenser or small, hollow ice cubes.

Plan on roughly six months or about 200 gallons per cartridge, whichever comes first. Homes on well water, or on municipal supplies with heavy sediment, will usually want to change it sooner.

Compatible Refrigerator Models

This cartridge fits refrigerators built to accept the twist-in Filter 4 / UKF8001 housing. Match your model number against the series below — your full model number is on a sticker inside the fresh-food compartment, usually on the left-hand wall or behind the crisper drawers.

Kenmore & Kenmore Elite

Maytag

Amana

Jenn-Air

KitchenAid, Whirlpool & Crosley

Bosch & Thermador (BORPLFTR20 housing)

Model prefixes are listed because manufacturers append revision suffixes (for example MFI2568AES, MFI2568AEW and MFI2568AEB all use the same filter). If your model begins with one of the series above and your existing cartridge twists into the upper-right corner inside the fridge, this is the correct filter.

How to Install

1. Open the fresh-food door and locate the filter cover at the upper right, near the ceiling of the compartment.
2. Press the release and let the cover swing down so the end of the cartridge is exposed.
3. Push the old cartridge in slightly and rotate it counter-clockwise about a quarter turn until it releases. Water shuts off automatically — no need to turn off the supply line.
4. Pull the old cartridge straight out. A small amount of water may drip; have a cloth ready.
5. Remove the cap from the new filter, align the tabs, push it straight in and rotate clockwise until it stops and sits flush.
6. Swing the cover back up until it latches.
7. Dispense and discard roughly 2 to 3 gallons (about 3–5 minutes of running the dispenser) to purge trapped air and loose carbon fines. Sputtering and grey-tinted water during this step are normal.
8. Reset the filter indicator: press and hold the Filter Reset or Water Filter button on the dispenser panel for about 3 seconds until the light returns to green.
9. Discard the first two full batches of ice so the ice maker clears its lines.

Replacement Schedule

Change the cartridge sooner if the dispenser slows noticeably, ice cubes shrink, or chlorine taste returns — those are the practical signals, and they often appear before the indicator light does.
