Kenmore 9084, 46-9084 Refrigerator Water Filter Replacement
Still hunting for a 9005 or 9006 filter that doesn't seem to exist anymore? Kenmore retired both, and the 9084 is what took their place. It's also built on coconut shell carbon rather than the standard carbon block most filters use, which is worth knowing before you assume every Kenmore filter works the same way underneath.
Confirm You Need the 9084
| Part Number | Also Known As | Install Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9084, 46-9084 | UKF8001, EDR4RXD1, 9005, 9006 | Open-tray-and-twist-out | Kenmore side-by-side, bottom-freezer, and select Maytag models |
| 9990, 46-9990 | LT600P | Slide-and-twist | Standard Kenmore side-by-side, bottom, top freezer |
| 9082, 46-9082 | EDR2RXD1 | Twist-out tray | Kenmore Elite bottom-freezer, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid |
If your old filter reads 9005 or 9006, that's expected, those are the discontinued codes the 9084 directly replaces.
Compatible Refrigerator Models
Like several other Kenmore codes, this one crosses into other appliance brands:
- Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators
- Kenmore bottom-freezer refrigerators
- Select Maytag refrigerators using the UKF8001 filter
- Select Whirlpool-family models using the EDR4RXD1 filter code
Always confirm your model number before ordering. This list is representative, not exhaustive, across the full compatible range.
How This Filter Actually Helps
Most refrigerator filters, including several others in Kenmore's own lineup, rely on standard activated carbon block. The 9084 uses coconut shell carbon instead, a denser, more porous material that generally offers a larger surface area for contaminants to bind to during filtration. Combined with NSF 42, 53, and 401 certification, it reduces heavy metals like lead, chlorine taste and odor, and volatile organic compounds, giving it solid coverage across both the aesthetic and health-related contaminant categories most households care about.

How Do I Check My Part Number?
Look for a tray with a locking tab you have to release and lower before you can even reach the filter, that's the open-tray-and-twist-out design specific to the 9084. Confirm on the label directly, and if it says UKF8001 or EDR4RXD1 instead, that's still your filter, just under a Maytag or Whirlpool-family part number.
What Happens If I Order the Wrong One?
Because the 9084's tray mechanism is distinct from Kenmore's other housing styles, a mismatched filter typically won't twist into the tray at all rather than seating loosely. You'll know right away rather than finding out weeks later through a slow leak or reduced flow.
How Often Should You Replace This Filter?
Replace the 9084 every 6 months or 200 gallons, whichever comes first. Households running the dispenser and ice maker regularly should expect to reach that gallon cap before six months rolls around, so keep an eye on usage rather than relying purely on the calendar.

FAQs
Is the 9084 really the direct replacement for the 9005 and 9006 filters?
Yes. Kenmore discontinued both older codes, and the 9084 covers the same compatible refrigerator models they used to serve.
What's actually different about coconut shell carbon compared to standard carbon block?
Coconut shell carbon is generally more porous, which gives contaminants a larger surface area to bind to during filtration. It's part of what allows the 9084 to carry NSF 401 certification alongside the more common NSF 42 and 53 levels.
Is the 9084 genuinely compatible with Maytag refrigerators?
Yes. It's functionally equivalent to the Maytag UKF8001 and EDR4RXD1 filters, so if your Maytag calls for either code, this filter works.
What if my old filter shows a code like 67006468 instead of 9084?
That's still the same filter. 67006468, 67006634, and several other manufacturer-specific codes all cross-reference to the 9084.
How long should I flush the filter after installing it?
About 2 to 3 gallons is recommended to clear carbon fines from the new filter before regular use.
