The Kenmore 9081 Refrigerator Water Filter is a replacement water filter built for select Kenmore side-by-side, bottom-freezer, and top-freezer refrigerators using the 9081 filter code. NSF 42, 53, and 401 certified to reduce lead, heavy metals, chlorine taste and odor, volatile organic compounds, and select pesticides, it delivers clean, fresh-tasting water and ice for up to 6 months or 200 gallons. Check the part number on the existing filter before ordering to confirm the 9081 is the correct replacement for the specific unit.
Specification
Material: Activated carbon block
Product Dimensions: 7.25 x 1.875 x 1.875 inches

External Testing Certification: NSF/ANSI 42, 53, and 401

NSF 42, 53, and 401 Certified: Independently tested to reduce lead, VOCs, chlorine taste and odor, and select pesticides -- covering aesthetic, health, and emerging contaminant categories.
Push-In Eject-and-Slide Installation: Open the filter cover, slide the old filter straight out, insert the new filter with the alignment arrow pointing up, and close the cover. No tools required.
White with Purple Label Design: The distinctive purple label accents make the 9081 easy to identify at replacement time and confirm correct filter orientation during installation.
4 Gallon Flush Requirement: After installation, flush 4 gallons through the dispenser before drinking to clear air pockets and carbon fines from the new filter.
NSF 401 Coverage: Reduces select pesticides and emerging compounds not covered by NSF 42 and 53 alone -- broader contaminant coverage than most standard refrigerator filter codes.
Replace the Kenmore 9081 refrigerator water filter every 6 months or 200 gallons for consistently clean, fresh-tasting water and ice from your refrigerator dispenser.

Great item. Great service. Thank you

The filter appears to be an exact fit for our Kenmore, but it didn't at first work. My talented husband had to wiggle it a bit to make it set right so it would take water. It isn't just a shove in and off you go - takes a little care, but now it works perfect.

Only received 1 of the 2pk I ordered within just a few days, but after I notified them, they responded and assured me they would get the 2nd filter sent to me as soon as possible and apologized for any inconvenience. It’s the first time I’ve ordered from this company, and I know things happen. I’m pretty confident that I’ll receive my full order soon.

I goofed on the zip code. Sent an email to notify the error. Well someone read it and corrected it, the shipping address was properly change. Filters arrived as scheduled. Sure a lot of filters, but I average one filter replacement per 5 to 6 months. So I am good for the next 6 years.
Well done.

The water filter works fine. Shipping was a little late on arrival. May have been due to weather conditions at that time.
