FAQs

What makes the Kenmore 9084 different from other Kenmore filters?

The 9084 is the updated replacement for the older 9005 and 9006 filter codes and uses coconut shell carbon block filtration. It is also functionally equivalent to the Maytag UKF8001 and EDR4RXD1, giving it broader compatibility across refrigerator brands than most Kenmore-specific filter codes. The open-tray-and-twist-out installation is specific to the 9084 housing.

What part numbers does the Kenmore 9084 replace?

The 9084 directly replaces 9005, 9006, 12589203, 12589206, 67006468, 67006634, UKF8001, EDR4RXD1, 4396395, UKF8001AXX, UKF8001AXX-200, UKF8001AXX-750, WF295, FMM-2, RWF0900A, and SGF-M9 among others. Check the label on the current filter to confirm the correct replacement before ordering.

Is the Kenmore 9084 compatible with Maytag refrigerators?

Yes. The 9084 is functionally equivalent to the Maytag UKF8001 and EDR4RXD1 filter and fits compatible Maytag refrigerator models that use these filter codes. Always verify the refrigerator model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.

How does the open-tray-and-twist-out installation work?

Release the locking tab and lower the tray cover to access the filter housing. Twist the old filter counterclockwise to remove it, insert the new filter, twist clockwise to lock, and close the tray cover. Run 2 to 3 gallons through the dispenser before drinking and reset the indicator light per the refrigerator user guide.

How often should the Kenmore 9084 filter be replaced?

Every 6 months or 200 gallons, whichever comes first. If water taste changes or dispenser flow drops before the six month mark, replace sooner. Running 2 to 3 gallons through the filter after installation clears the carbon fines before first use.
