GE XWF vs XWFE refrigerator water filters

We sell replacements listed for GE XWF refrigerator water filters, and separately the genuine GE XWFE filter. They are different parts.

They are not interchangeable

XWFE is a different GE filter from XWF. Among other differences, XWFE uses an electronic chip in the cartridge. An XWF replacement is not a substitute in a refrigerator that requires XWFE. We do not claim fit for XWFE on our XWF listings.

How to tell which one you need

Read the part number on your current filter or in the refrigerator manual. If it says XWFE, do not order an XWF replacement. If it says XWF, use the GE XWF replacement page. If it says XWFE, use the GE XWFE page.
