The GE Refrigerator Water Filter RPWFE is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This advanced water filter is crucial for removing contaminants and impurities from your refrigerator's water supply, ensuring you have access to clean, fresh-tasting drinking water and ice. Utilizing a state-of-the-art filtration process, the RPWFE filter is capable of reducing various contaminants, including lead, chlorine, and five pharmaceuticals, providing peace of mind about the quality of your water.

Over time, water filters can become clogged with particles and contaminants, leading to a decrease in water flow and a reduction in the effectiveness of filtration. It's important to replace your refrigerator water filter as recommended by the manufacturer, typically every six months, to ensure optimal performance and maintain the quality of your water.

Symptoms of a filter needing replacement include:

• Reduced water flow from the dispenser.
• Unpleasant taste or odor in the water or ice. 
• The refrigerator's water filter indicator light turns on

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
