Product Details
If you have a UKF8001 water filter, our ClearChoice101 is extremely versatile, fitting refrigerator models like Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, Kitchenaid and more. The UKF8001 does appear under other names, just check your current model with our chart further down the page to make sure it is compatible with our ClearChoice brand.
Our CLCH101 is also compatible with a wide variety of other models and can replace filters like the OEM Whirlpool EDR4RXD1, 469992, EFF-6007A, and Filter 4.
Other benefits of our aftermarket water filter are its incredible purifying power. This model will significantly reduce the number of contaminants, including lead, chlorine, dirt, and other unwanted chemicals and minerals found in your drinking water. Besides being healthier for you, the purification of the water will mean better tasting and better-smelling water as well. Two other details that make this model a top choice is its ease of installation, which we will discuss more in a moment, as well as its affordability. The model carried here at Discount Filters, the ClearChoice CLCH101, which is a UKF8001 replacement filter, is particularly well-priced, though just as effective, if not more so, than other brands like Maytag.
It is important to remember that it will need to be changed. The CLCH101 should be replaced every six months or sooner, depending on how frequently it is used. You can also look out for the "replace filter" light in your fridge. Also, if your filtered water starts to taste like tap water, it may be time for a change.
UKF8001 Features:
The UKF8001 water filter has a surprising number of features. Here are just a few of them that make this Maytag refrigerator water filter replacement such an excellent choice:
Activated Block Carbon Technology
The UKF8001 uses activated block carbon technology. Carbon is one of the most adsorptive substances, and its numerous and microscopic pores make it capable of adsorbing many microscopic contaminants. Adsorption is a chemical bond between the surface of the carbon and a molecule (contaminant).
- Activated carbon is a carbonaceous, highly porous adsorptive medium that has a complex structure composed primarily of carbon atoms. The networks of pores in activated carbons are channels created within a rigid skeleton of disordered layers of carbon atoms, linked together by chemical bonds, stacked unevenly, creating a highly porous structure between the carbon layers. Activated carbon is able to attract and capture a whole host of contaminants, including chlorine and other organic chemical compounds.
- Activated carbon means that the carbon has been treated at 1000°C with steam molecules to selectively burn holes into the carbonized raw material, creating a multitude of pores inside the carbonaceous matrix. This process creates so much surface area that a teaspoon of activated carbon has roughly the same surface area as a soccer field!
Activated block carbon, then, with its use of adsorption, is one of the most effective water filtration methods in use today.
Reduces Chlorine Taste/Odor
As mentioned above, the UKF8001 water filter uses an activated block carbon technology. This particular filtration method is ideal for absorbing and removing chlorine from your drinking water.
This means you can enjoy water that is lessened of both a chlorine taste and smell.
NSF/ANSI 42 Certified
The UKF8001 is also certified to NSF/ANSI 42 standard requirements.
Makes Clean, Clear and Healthy Ice
This refrigerator purifier will also process the water used in your freezer to make ice. Thus, your ice, as well as your drinking water, will be clear, clean and healthy.
Reduces Pollutants & Contaminants
The activated block carbon does an excellent job removing contaminants and pollutants, such as chlorine, dirt, and other chemicals. The more your water is cleared of these contaminants, the healthier it will be for you and your family.
6-month Lifespan
The water filter has an excellent life-span. It can last up to 6-months before it needs to be replaced. However, if used very frequently, you may want to consider changing it more frequently. Also, your water purifier's change notification will let you know when it is due for a change.
Compatible With 100's of Other Models
As mentioned above, the UKF8001 is compatible with hundreds of other models, including the Kenmore 46-9005, UKF8001axx-750, Pur Filter 4, 4396395, and the UKF8001AXX, among others.
Easy Install
One of the many benefits ClearChoice filter is that it is effortless to install. The process should take a little over 5 minutes, including running water through it until it is ready. No tools are required.

How To Install The UKF8001 / CLCH101 Filter
- Locate your refrigerator's purifying housing unit. This is typically found in the upper right-hand corner inside of your refrigerator/freezer.
- Open the housing cover. The housing cover will use one of two types of release options: push or pull.
- Push release: a push release will have a tab in front of the housing. Simply push the tab to release the hatch of the housing.
- Pull release: a pull release style housing has a slightly harder to detect opening mechanism. It uses a tab that sits inside of a recess on the front underside of the housing unit. Find the recessed tab with your fingers then pull forward to release the latch.
- Remove the old unit from its housing. To do this, turn it counterclockwise (should only take a quarter turn), then pull it straight out.
- Install the new unit. Insert the new one and turn clockwise until snapped in tight.
- Flush it. You will need to run approximately 2-4 gallons of water through the new purifier before it is ready for use. This will take approximately 5 minutes.
- Reset your change notification. The instructions in the owners' manual will tell you how to reset the notification so that it can alert you when your new purifier needs to be changed.
