About the GE Appliances RPWFE water filter cartridge

Water filter cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in the fresh food interior on the

left side wall, near the top.

This product uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to detect

leaks and monitor filter status. The RFID technology is certified by

the FCC.

When to replace the filter cartridge

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier

if 170 gallons of water has been dispensed or the flow of water to

the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will appear

on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced. The

filter status will automatically update when the filter is replaced.

Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light will

illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to be

replaced.

Removing the filter cartridge

To replace the filter, first remove the old cartridge by opening

the filter door and pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow

it to swing outward. When the cartridge can no longer swing,

gently pull to unseat it from the cartridge holder. DO NOT TWIST

CARTRIDGE. A small amount of water may drip out.

Installing the filter cartridge

1. Align top of filter cartridge with cartridge holder with the word

“FRONT” facing outward then push the cartridge toward the

rear of the unit until it is fully seated. DO NOT TWIST THE

FILTER CARTRIDGE!

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. Close the filter door.

3. Run two 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. Use a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch the

water spray. DO NOT use hands-free auto-fill (some models)

until all air is removed from the system.

4. Reset Filter Status message (non-touch screen models).

WARNING

SCALDING HAZARD.

Use of the hot water dispenser prior to purging air from the

system may result in spurting of hot water and lead to hot

water scalding. Follow the instructions above to purge all

air from the system through the cold water dispenser prior

to using the hot water dispenser.

Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored during the

initial system flush. Water color will return to normal after

first few minutes of dispensing.

Filter bypass plug

To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage, you

MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter

cartridge is not available. Some models do not come equipped

with the filter bypass plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, call

800-GECARES. In Canada, call 800.561.3344. The dispenser and

icemaker will not operate without either the filter or bypass plug

installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter

cartridge.
