Use the GE XWFE Refrigerator Water Filter as an easy, important step in your regular home maintenance! Designed to reduce or remove chloramines and chlorine with its carbon media, this filter fits select GE French door and side-by-side models. Replacing your filter every 6 months is easy - no tools required! Ensure that your water is as healthy and clean as it can be with the GE XWFE!

How do you install the GE XWFE?
INSTALLING THE GE XWFE IN A BOTTOM FREEZER REFRIGERATOR
- Open the XWFE filter cartridge housing by squeezing the 2 front tabs and gently pulling down.
- Line up the ports on the filter with the ports on the XWFE filter cartridge holder, and gently insert the filter.
- Slowly turn the XWFE to the right until it stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the filter, it will automatically adjust itself into position. The filter will move about a ¼ turn or 90 degrees, until the arrow on the filter aligns with the arrow on the XWFE filter cartridge holder.
- Slowly push the filter up into the clips.
- Close the XWFE filter cartridge housing by gently pushing the lid upwards until the tabs lock into place.
INSTALLING THE GE XWFE IN A SIDE-BY-SIDE REFRIGERATOR
- Line up the arrow on the filter with the arrow on the XWFE filter cartridge holder. Gently push the top of the new filter up inside the holder.
- Slowly turn the filter to the right until it stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the filter, it will automatically raise itself into position. The filter will move about a ¼ turn or 90 degrees.
INSTALLING THE GE XWFE IN A MULTI-DOOR BOTTOM FREEZER REFRIGERATOR
- Open the XWFE filter cartridge housing by pulling the door open.
- Line up the ports on the filter with the ports on the XWFE filter cartridge holder, and gently insert the filter.
- Slowly turn the filter to the right until it stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the filter, it will automatically adjust itself into position. The filter will move about a ¼ turn or 90 degrees, until the filter cannot be turned, and the label faces outward.
- Slowly push the filter up into the clips.
- Close the XWFE filter cartridge housing by gently pushing the door closed until the tabs lock into place.

Collected by Trustpilot.comThe only filters that work.
Collected by Trustpilot.comGE XWFE filter is great; however, do not attempt to purchase from Home Depot or big stores as they have a filter installed wherein they will not function!
Collected by Trustpilot.comThe question is a waste of my time and yours. The reason is that I have no way to know whether it is doing its job. I would not know how to test it. And I should not have to pay to test it in addition to paying to buy it. So I presume it is doing its job and can only do it for 6 months so you can send me another one. It was purchased on blind faith that you have done proper due diligence. Adding photos or videos is, at best, a silly request or suggestion. Please do not send any further requests for water filter reviews. Tom Rideout

Collected by Trustpilot.comHave not has long enough to comment. So far, so good. Look forward to continual usage. I need to see how long the filters lasts so I know how to order in the future. Give me a chance to see how it goes, then re-contact. Should I keep one on hand so I don't run out?
Collected by Trustpilot.comWas rejected by smart refrigerator.
Collected by Trustpilot.comWorks as advertised. Convenient to have delivered
Collected by Trustpilot.comGood product. Easy to install.
Collected by Trustpilot.comThe filter works fine. It shouldn't be so expensive. I hear there is a hack to get around the chip, which is what makes it so expensive. I might have to look into that option.
Collected by Trustpilot.comGreat item!
Collected by Trustpilot.comExcellent!
Collected by Trustpilot.comIt's a good product. I can't really say a whole lot, it's the first time I replaced it. I hope it lasts the 6 months it says because the one that came with the refrigerator only lasted 4 months.
