Special Features

Carbon Block Filtration

The GE MWF water filter uses carbon block media to help improve water taste and odour. Its filtration system also reduces specified impurities covered by its performance testing and certifications.

Convenient Twist-and-Lock Design

The GE MWF replacement filter features a twist-and-lock fitting for straightforward cartridge changes. The design allows replacement without special tools in compatible refrigerators.

Six-Month Replacement Schedule

The GE MWF fridge filter is generally replaced every six months to maintain filtration performance. Water quality and household usage can affect when a cartridge needs changing.

Compatible Replacement Cartridge

The improved MWFP version replaces the earlier MWF cartridge in compatible appliances. The updated version retains the MWF label, making it important to check your refrigerator's filter requirements before ordering. <Cite refs={["turn441725search0","turn441725search4"]}/>

Compatibility

The GE MWF refrigerator water filter fits selected GE side-by-side and bottom-freezer refrigerators that use the MWF filtration system. Compatibility depends on the exact appliance model, so check your owner's manual or existing cartridge before purchasing.

The MWF refrigerator filter replacement may also be listed under the MWFP model number. Some newer GE refrigerators use different cartridges, including XWF or XWFE, so do not assume that an MWF filter fits every GE refrigerator.

Contaminants It Reduces

The GE MWF filter is certified or tested to reduce specified impurities under defined conditions, including:

• Chlorine taste and odour
• Lead and mercury
• Chlorine-resistant cysts
• Asbestos
• Selected pesticides, including atrazine, lindane and toxaphene
• Selected volatile organic compounds, including benzene and p-dichlorobenzene
• Selected pharmaceuticals, including ibuprofen, atenolol, progesterone, trimethoprim and fluoxetine

The filter's pharmaceutical reduction claims have been tested and verified by an independent laboratory and are not certified by NSF International. Actual performance depends on the contaminant and test conditions.
