Maytag refrigerator water filters
everydrop cartridges shared with the Whirlpool platform.
A maytag fridge water filter replacement is decided by the housing, not the model year: every refrigerator built on the same housing takes the same cartridge, which is why a single part number such as the main cartridge can cover many models. The list below pairs all 3 Maytag models in this reference set with the cartridge each one takes.
Maytag refrigerator models and the filter they use
3 modelsCommon questions
What water filter does my Maytag refrigerator take?
Maytag uses several filter housings, so the cartridge is set by the model number rather than the brand alone. In this reference set the most widely used is listed above. Look your model up under Refrigerators above, or read the number printed on the cartridge you are removing.
Are Maytag refrigerator water filters interchangeable?
Only within the same housing. Two cartridges with different part numbers can be the same physical part when they share a housing family — those cross-references are listed on each cartridge page. A cartridge from a different housing will not seal, even if it looks similar.
How do I find my Maytag filter part number?
Two places: the model sticker inside the fresh-food compartment, or the face of the cartridge currently installed. The cartridge number is the definitive one, because manufacturers change suppliers mid-model-year without changing the refrigerator model code.
