DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE!
Installing the new filter cartridge
1. Center the cartridge with cartridge holder with the word FRONT facing outward. Push the cartridge inward until it is fully seated. FRONT should be centered with the cartridge holder for proper installation. The RED indicators should not be visible.
2. While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in the holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in
position. If filter will not swing easily, check to ensure filter is properly aligned and fully seated within the
cartridge holder.
- For dispenser models – Run 2 gallons of water through the cold water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to remove air from the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will cause water to spurt from the dispenser.
- For icemaker-only models – Discard the first bin of ice to allow air to purge from the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will cause water to spurt into the icemaker body, which could lead to ice droplets
around the icemaker area.
- Reset Filter status message (non-touch screen models).

Frequently Asked Questions
What refrigerators use the GE RPWFE water filter?
The GE RPWFE water filter is used in select GE French-door and side-by-side refrigerators. These models require the RPWFE because it includes an RFID microchip that communicates with the refrigerator.
If your current filter is labeled RPWFE or matches one of the compatible part numbers listed on this page, your refrigerator is designed to use the RPWFE-style cartridge.
How often should I replace the RPWFE water filter?
Both the OEM GE RPWFE filter and compatible alternatives are designed for a 6-month replacement cycle. Replacing your filter every six months helps maintain water quality, preserve taste, and keep the refrigerator’s filter-status monitoring accurate. High water usage or noticeable changes in taste or flow may indicate the need to replace the filter sooner.
Is the RPWFE filter easy to install?
Yes. The RPWFE uses a swing-out, tool-free installation method. Unlike many GE filters, you should not twist this cartridge. Instead, you pull the old filter straight out and push the new filter straight in, making sure the FRONT label is facing outward. After installation, flush the system by running water or discarding the first batch of ice, as outlined in the instructions.
What contaminants does the RPWFE filter help reduce?
All filters are designed to reduce chlorine, taste, odor, sediment, sand, rust, and other particulates. The OEM GE RPWFE filter additionally carries NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 certifications, showing it has been tested for specific reductions as listed in its specifications.
