Kenmore 9081 Refrigerator Water Filter Replacement – NSF Certified 46-9081 Compatible

Product Overview

Enjoy clean, refreshing water straight from your refrigerator with the Kenmore 9081 Refrigerator Water Filter Replacement. Designed to improve taste, clarity, and safety, this filter reduces common water contaminants that affect daily hydration and ice quality. It’s a dependable solution for Kenmore refrigerators that use a base-grille or top-freezer filtration system.

Built with an activated carbon block, the Kenmore 9081 helps reduce chlorine taste and odor, lead, mercury, cysts, asbestos, sediment, and other particles. Ice cubes come out clear and odor-free, while drinks lose the sharp tap-water bite.

This filter installs easily—no tools required. Just slide it into place until it clicks securely. NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 certifications confirm its filtration performance, and it’s manufactured in the USA for trusted quality. Each cartridge lasts up to 6 months or 200 gallons, helping reduce replacement frequency and long-term costs.
