GE XWF Refrigerator Water Filter (WR17X30702)

⚠️ CRITICAL — XWF vs XWFE: Read Before Purchasing: The GE XWF and GE XWFE are two different filters. The key difference is that the XWFE contains a built-in RFID chip that communicates with your refrigerator's control panel, while the XWF has no chip. If your refrigerator requires the XWFE, the XWF will NOT work — your refrigerator will display an error or will not dispense water. Check your current filter's label before ordering.
✓ This Filter Is For: GE French door, side-by-side, and bottom-freezer refrigerators manufactured after June 2018 that use the XWF filter (no chip required). Compatible with models beginning with GBE21, GDE21, GDE25, GFE24, GFE26, GNE21, GNE25, GNE27, GWE19, GYE18, QNE27, GSE25, GSS23, GSS25, GZS22, PSE25, and CZS22.

XWF vs XWFE — What's the Difference?

Feature GE XWF (This Filter) GE XWFE
RFID Chip No chip Built-in RFID chip
Control Panel Interaction None Communicates with refrigerator display
Refrigerators Made After June 2018 Compatible with select models Required for chip-enabled models
Backwards Compatible No — only works in XWF-designated models Yes — works in both XWF and XWFE models
NSF Certification NSF/ANSI 42 & 53 NSF/ANSI 42, 53 & 401
Filter Capacity Up to 200 gallons or 6 months Up to 300 gallons or 6 months
Important Compatibility Note: The XWFE filter is backwards compatible — it can be used in refrigerators that require the XWF. However, the XWF is NOT forward compatible — it cannot be used in refrigerators that require the XWFE. When in doubt, the XWFE is the safer choice as it works in both filter types. Only purchase this XWF filter if you are certain your refrigerator does not require a chip-enabled filter.

How to Confirm You Need the XWF (Not XWFE)

  • Your current filter is labeled XWF or part number WR17X30702
  • Your refrigerator does not show a filter authentication error after installation
  • Your refrigerator model does not require chip interaction with the control panel
  • Your refrigerator was manufactured after June 2018 and uses a twist-in filter located inside the refrigerator

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the XWF if my refrigerator requires the XWFE?

No. If your refrigerator requires the XWFE filter, the XWF will not work correctly. The XWFE contains a built-in RFID chip that communicates with your refrigerator's control panel. Without this chip, your refrigerator may display an error message or refuse to dispense water. Always use the filter specified for your refrigerator model.

Can I use the XWFE in a refrigerator that uses the XWF?

Yes. The XWFE is backwards compatible and will work in refrigerators that use the XWF filter. If you are unsure which filter your refrigerator requires, the XWFE is the safer choice as it is compatible with both filter types.

How do I know if my refrigerator needs the XWF or XWFE?

Check the label on your current filter — if it says XWF or WR17X30702, you need this filter. If it says XWFE, you need the XWFE instead. You can also check your refrigerator's owner manual or look at the inside of the filter housing for a label indicating the filter type.

Where is the filter located in my refrigerator?

The XWF filter is located inside the upper right area of the refrigerator compartment. It uses a simple twist-in design that requires no tools to replace.
