Whirlpool ED5PVEXWS06 refrigerator Parts

The Whirlpool refrigerator model ED5PVEXWS06 is a side-by-side unit; most Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators of this style are about 33 inches wide, 65 to 71 inches tall, and 30 to 34 inches deep (not counting the space needed for door swing and airflow). For the exact measurements and capacity for ED5PVEXWS06, use the ED5PVEXWS06 owner's manual.

These are the most useful dimensions to plan for when measuring your kitchen opening:

• Width: ~32 3/4 to 33 inches
• Height (to top of cabinet/hinge area): ~65 to 71 inches
• Depth (cabinet only): ~28 to 32 inches
• Depth (with handles): ~30 to 34 inches
• Recommended clearance: ~1 inch on sides and top; more behind for airflow and water line routing

Measure in three places (top, middle, bottom) because walls and cabinets are often not perfectly square.

• Opening width (left to right)
• Opening height (floor to cabinet)
• Opening depth (back wall to front edge of counters)
• Space for door swing and drawer/bins to pull out
• Space behind for water line if you use the dispenser/ice maker

Getting the size right prevents installation headaches like doors that cannot open fully, bins that hit walls, poor airflow that hurts cooling performance, and kinked water lines that can cause dispenser or ice maker issues.

If you are also planning to replace the filter after moving the unit, the correct filter for this model is the refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

The Whirlpool ED5PVEXWS06 is a full-size side-by-side refrigerator; most units in this series are about 25 cubic feet of total capacity and fit a standard 36-inch-wide opening. For the exact capacity and cabinet dimensions for your unit, use the ED5PVEXWS06 owner's manual.

For ED5PVEXWS06-STYLE side-by-side refrigerators, these are the most common “how big” measurements customers mean:

• Capacity (storage volume): typically around 25 cu. ft.
• Overall width: typically about 36 inches
• Overall height: typically about 69 to 71 inches (without hinge cover varies)
• Overall depth: typically about 33 to 35 inches (cabinet depth differs from depth with handles)
• Door swing clearance: plan extra space so doors open fully and bins slide out

We recommend checking the specification section in the ED5PVEXWS06 owner's manual and measuring your installed unit:

• Measure width at the widest point (often the doors)
• Measure height from floor to top hinge area
• Measure depth with and without handles (if applicable)
• Verify required rear and side clearance for airflow
• Confirm door swing space so crisper pans and bins can slide out

Correct dimensions prevent installation problems like doors hitting walls, poor airflow that causes warm temperatures, and difficulty removing shelves or bins for cleaning.

Most side-by-side refrigerators, including the Whirlpool ED5PVEXWS06, provide about 7.5 to 10 cubic feet of freezer capacity (with about 22.5 to 31 cubic feet total). For the exact cubic-feet rating for your ED5PVEXWS06, use the specifications section in the ED5PVEXWS06 owner's manual.

Use these ranges to plan grocery storage, freezer organization, and fit for frozen pizzas or sheet pans:

• Freezer capacity: 7.5 to 10 cu. ft.
• Fresh food capacity: 14 to 21 cu. ft.
• Total capacity: 22.5 to 31 cu. ft.
• Common exterior width: 30 to 36 inches
• Layout: tall, narrow shelves with door bins for quick access

“Cubic feet” is measured as interior volume; real-world storage depends on the ice system and shelving.

• Ice maker and ice bin take up shelf volume
• Door bins trade open cavity space for convenience
• Frost buildup reduces airflow and effective storage
• Overpacking blocks vents and creates warm spots

Matching freezer capacity to your household helps the refrigerator hold steady temperatures. When airflow is restricted (frost, blocked vents, overpacking), food quality drops and the compressor runs longer.

On Whirlpool model ED5PVEXWS06, the water filter is typically located inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, commonly in the upper area near the top shelf. Use the ED5PVEXWS06 owner's manual to confirm the exact filter housing location for your configuration.

• Open the refrigerator (not the freezer) door and look along the top interior wall.
• Check the upper right corner near the top shelf.
• Look for a small filter door, cap, or push-button release.
• If you see a round cap, it may twist to unlock.
• If you see a small door, it may flip down to access the cartridge.

Most Whirlpool side-by-side filter housings have one of these access styles:

For ED5PVEXWS06, a compatible replacement listed for this model is the refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1. After installing a new filter, dispense and discard several gallons of water to flush air and carbon fines from the line.

Finding the correct filter location helps prevent cracked housings, leaks, and poor water flow at the dispenser. A properly seated filter also helps protect the water inlet valve and ice maker from sediment buildup.
