Replacement Refrigerator Filters for RPWFE®
Product Description
The RPWFE water filter is compatible with select GE french-door and side-by-side refrigerators. The RPWFE includes a RFID microchip which is detected by the refrigerator upon installation and is used to detect leaks and monitor filter status.
Installation
DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE! Twisting may damage refrigerator or filter.
Removing the old filter cartridge
1. Remove the old cartridge by opening the filter door and pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow it to swing outward.
2. When the cartridge can no longer swing, gently pull to unseat from the cartridge holder. A small amount of water may drip out.
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. Check your existing filter part number or refrigerator model before ordering because GE refrigerators use several different filter types.
How often should I replace the RPWFE water filter?
The GE RPWFE and Puritas PUR-32 listed on this page have a recommended replacement interval of 6 months and a capacity of 170 gallons. Follow the refrigerator's filter-status guidance and replace the cartridge sooner if required by your usage.
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?
Discount Filters lists the GE RPWFE for reduction of:
- Chlorine, taste, and odor
- Sediment, sand, and rust
- Other particulates
The OEM GE RPWFE also carries the NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 certifications shown in its product specifications.
How do I replace my GE RPWFE refrigerator water filter?
Open the filter door, swing the bottom of the cartridge outward, and gently pull the old filter from its holder. Insert the new cartridge with FRONT facing outward, seat it completely, and swing it inward.
- Do not twist the RPWFE cartridge.
- For dispenser models, flush 2 gallons of water after installation.
What is the equivalent water filter for a GE RPWFE refrigerator?
Discount Filters currently sells the Puritas PUR-32 as a compatible replacement for the GE RPWFE. It includes an RFID chip and shares the 170-gallon capacity, 6-month replacement interval, and 0.5 GPM flow rate listed for the OEM GE filter.
What is the difference between RPWF and RPWFE filters?
The RPWFE comes with RFID technology that communicates with compatible GE refrigerators. Discount Filters lists RPWF and RPWFE as separate filter types, so check which part number your refrigerator requires before purchasing.
Can I use a generic water filter in a GE refrigerator that requires RPWFE?
Use a replacement specifically listed as compatible with RPWFE applications. Discount Filters currently offers the Puritas PUR-32 as an RPWFE-compatible alternative with an RFID chip.
Is the GE RPWFE the same as the GE XWFE filter?
No. RPWFE and XWFE are separate GE refrigerator water filter types used with different compatible refrigerator configurations. If your refrigerator requires an XWFE, see the GE XWFE refrigerator water filter page.
