Frigidaire Refrigerator Water Filters
Frigidaire is a major brand of consumer and commercial appliances that's now under the Electrolux corporate umbrella, according to http://group.electrolux.com/en.
Frigidaire developed the first self-contained refrigerator, home food freezer and room air conditioner. The brand became such a popular choice for refrigerators that people sometimes referred to all kinds of models as "Frigidaires", regardless of the actual brand.
As is natural for long standing appliance makers, Frigidaire has expanded to produce other laundry and kitchen appliances. They have even taken to producing small appliances such as irons, toasters and appliance accessories such as refrigerator water filters.
There are numerous different kinds of Frigidaire fridge filters. The WFCB Frigidaire Pure Source Plus water filter only fits Frigidaire filter-equipped refrigerator models that were produced before the 2001 energy compliance regulations. Another filter model, WF1CB, fits all models of Frigidaire and Kenmore refrigerators that were manufactured after April 2001 with round plastic filter housing on the inside.
Frigidaire also offers refrigerator air filters that minimize unwanted smells inside refrigerators with the use of activated carbon, baking soda and zeolites. Fridge air filters not only keep the insides of your refrigerators smelling clean but also prevent cross-contamination of food and helps avoid food odors from seeping into beverages. All models are genuine OEM (Original Equipment manufacturer) and all last up to six months.
