Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Water Filter by Whirlpool

Francine, Yes the EDR5RXD1 filter is the correct water filter for the model number you supplied. But, the water filter has nothing to do with the refrigerator/freezer cooling. Here are a few checks to make : check and clean the lower kickplate (where the filter is located, debris and pet hair, etc can block the air flow, move the refrigerator out unplug the power cord and remove the compressor compartment cover vacuum and clean the area and components. Open the freezer door and check to see if the evaporator fan is running and blowing the air towards you. Close the door, open the refrigerator door, reach up in the left hand corner near the ceiling and see if you can feel air moving into the refrigerator from the freezer compartment. Then let us know what you find, and we can go from there. Thanks,
