⭐ Key Features

•💧 PREMIUM: The quarter-turn classic. Twenty years of fridges take it, and almost every replacement sold for it is the cheapest thing on the shelf. Refresh Plus is the upper tier of the Refresh line — the same exact Whirlpool fit as the standard R-9010, built to a higher specification: a 0.5 micron carbon block instead of 5 micron, and built to NSF/ANSI 53 on top of NSF/ANSI 42. Ten times finer media, two standards not one.

•💧 FITMENT: Replaces Whirlpool 4396508, 4396510, 4392857, 4396508P, EDR5RXD1, EveryDrop Filter 5, LC400V, WF-NLC240V, NLC240V, WF285 and Kenmore 46-9010, 469010, 9010, 46-9085. Kenmore 46-9010 and 46-9085 both fit. Kenmore 46-9081 does not — that is a different cartridge and takes our R-6700. One digit is the whole difference.

•💧 HEALTH: This housing has more compatible cartridges than any other in the category, and nearly all stop at 42. NSF/ANSI 53 is the health-effects standard — what a cartridge is measured against for reducing contaminants classed as health hazards, and it tests the housing itself for material safety and for pressure integrity under cyclic load. Refresh Plus R-9010 is built to both standards.

•💧 TASTE: Side-by-side dispensers run cold and slow, which makes off-taste easy to notice. NSF/ANSI 42 is the aesthetic standard and it is the one you actually taste — chlorine, chloramine, odour and the fine particulate that leaves water cloudy in the glass. Refresh Plus keeps all of it while the calcium, magnesium and potassium that stop water tasting flat stay in.

•💧 LIFESPAN: Twist counter-clockwise, pull, seat the new one, flush two gallons through the dispenser. Rated 300 gallons or six months per cartridge, whichever arrives first. This 1-pack is six months of covered water in one order. A cloudy first glass is carbon dust clearing the new block and it is gone inside a minute.

•💧 COMPATIBILITY: Fits Whirlpool ED5FHAXVB, ED2KHAXVL, GS6NBEXRS, GS5SHAXNL, KitchenAid KSRG25FVMS, KSCS25INSS and Kenmore 106 side-by-side refrigerators and other models built for the 4396508 cartridge. Confirm against the number printed on the cartridge you are replacing before ordering.

📋 Product Description

There are two Refresh cartridges for a Whirlpool 4396508 fridge. They fit the same bay, seat the same way, and one of them is built to a standard the other is not. This is that one. THE DIFFERENCE: The standard R-9010 is a 5 micron block built to NSF/ANSI 42. Refresh Plus R-9010 is a 0.5 micron block built to NSF/ANSI 53 as well — ten times finer media, held to the health-effects standard on top of the taste one. Identical fit, identical install, different specification. THE TWO STANDARDS: NSF/ANSI 42 is aesthetic — chlorine, chloramine, odour, particulate; what you taste and see. NSF/ANSI 53 is health effects — contaminants classed as health hazards, plus material safety and pressure integrity of the housing. A cartridge needs both to do both. COMPATIBILITY — REPLACES: Whirlpool 4396508, 4396510, 4392857, 4396508P, EDR5RXD1, EveryDrop Filter 5, LC400V, WF-NLC240V, NLC240V, WF285 and Kenmore 46-9010, 469010, 9010, 46-9085. Kenmore 46-9010 and 46-9085 both fit. Kenmore 46-9081 does not — that is a different cartridge and takes our R-6700. One digit is the whole difference. FITS THESE MODELS: Whirlpool ED5FHAXVB, ED2KHAXVL, GS6NBEXRS, GS5SHAXNL, KitchenAid KSRG25FVMS, KSCS25INSS and Kenmore 106 side-by-side refrigerators and other refrigerators built for the 4396508 cartridge. BEFORE FIRST USE: Twist counter-clockwise, pull, seat the new one, flush two gallons through the dispenser. Run and discard about two gallons. A cloudy first pour is carbon dust and trapped air clearing the block — it settles within a minute and it is not a fault. LIFESPAN: 300 gallons or six months per cartridge, whichever comes first. This 1-pack covers six months. REFRESH PLUS: The upper tier of the Refresh line, with US-based support and a straightforward replacement if a cartridge arrives wrong or fails to seat.
