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 absorptive substances, and its numerous and microscopic pores make it capable of absorbing many microscopic contaminants.
Activated block carbon is especially effective, as it provides a larger surface area that water must travel through, and it requires the water to move more slowly through it. The larger the carbon surface and the longer the water takes to pass through, the more contaminants are removed efficiently.
"Activated" carbon means that it is positively-charged and able to attract and capture negatively-charged ions, specifically those belonging to chlorine and other chemical contaminants.
Activated block carbon, then, with its use of both absorption and positively-charged carbon, is one of the most effective water filtration methods out there.
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.

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.
