Additional Information
The Refrigerator Water Filter (9085) by Kenmore is designed to provide clean, fresh-tasting water by reducing the presence of common contaminants such as lead, chlorine, and sediment. The filter typically has a lifespan of about 6 months or 300 gallons, depending on water quality and usage. Regular replacement of the filter ensures the best possible water quality and flow rate. To install, locate the filter compartment in the refrigerator, remove the old cartridge by turning it counterclockwise, and insert the new filter by aligning it with the filter housing and turning it clockwise until it locks into place. No special tools are required, and the process can be completed in minutes. Always flush the system with 2-3 gallons of water after installing a new filter to remove any carbon fines or air bubbles.
Water filter 9085 replaces earlier filter part numbers 2203221, 2203980, 2255520, 4392922, 8212491, 9010, 9902 and 9908. Please ensure this part is compatible with your refrigerator model before purchasing. If you experience a decrease in water flow or an unusual taste in the water or ice, it might be time to replace the water filter with a new one.

Not the same 9085 Filter
This is not the same product that was sold in years past. The NSF certifications have changed to 42 and 372 according to the packaging. The previous version had an NSF certification of 42, 53 and 401 which filters out more chemicals. I haven't tried the newer one yet, but from other reviews I've seen I'm not sure if I will be satisfied. I checked this item on the website and the product information has not been updated to show the new NSF changes. I want to know if there are any of old ones I can purchase with the better quality standards. The packaging is also different. Wrapped in plastic, no pink cap.

Buy quality first time!
This filter worked and fit well - bought an "kenmore filter" from amazon that I truly believe was a cheap knockoff that did not fit properly - this one from Sears saying made in USA was the real McCoy!
