Product Description
The GE RPWF refrigerator water filter is designed for select GE French door refrigerators manufactured before 2017. Located inside the left refrigerator door panel, this filter delivers clean, great-tasting water and ice by effectively reducing chlorine taste and odor while removing sediments and particulates.
The RPWF uses a swing-out installation design — unlike most GE filters, this filter does NOT twist. Simply open the filter door, pull the old filter straight out, and push the new one straight in. No tools and no water shutoff required.

Compatibility Tip: This filter is for GE French door refrigerators manufactured before 2017. The filter is located inside the left refrigerator door — if your filter is in a different location (such as the top right corner inside the fridge), you likely have a different filter model.

- Open the Filter Door: Pull open the filter compartment door to expose the filter cartridge

- Flush the System: Run water through the dispenser for approximately 2 gallons (around 5 minutes) to flush air and activate the filter. Initial water may appear slightly cloudy — this is normal

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the RPWF if my refrigerator requires the RPWFE?
No. If your refrigerator requires the RPWFE filter, the RPWF will not work correctly. The RPWFE contains a built-in RFID chip that communicates with your refrigerator's control panel for filter status monitoring and leak detection. 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 RPWFE in a refrigerator that uses the RPWF?
Yes. The RPWFE is backwards compatible and will work in refrigerators that use the RPWF filter. If you are unsure which filter your refrigerator requires, the RPWFE is the safer choice as it is compatible with both refrigerator types.
How do I know if my refrigerator needs the RPWF or RPWFE?
Check the label on your current filter — if it says RPWF, WSG-4, RWF1063, or RWF3600A, you need this filter. If it says RPWFE, you need the RPWFE instead. As a general rule, refrigerators manufactured before 2017 use the RPWF, while those manufactured after 2017 use the RPWFE.
How is this filter installed — does it twist in like other GE filters?
No. Unlike most GE filters, the RPWF uses a swing-out push-in design. Open the filter door on the inside of your left refrigerator door, swing the old filter outward, and pull it straight out. Insert the new filter straight in with the "FRONT" label facing out, then close the compartment. Do NOT twist — twisting can damage the filter housing.
Where is the filter located in my refrigerator?
The RPWF filter is located on the inner panel of the left refrigerator door inside a small compartment. This is different from many GE filters which are located in the upper right corner inside the refrigerator compartment.
