How this match was verified
We connect the complete appliance model to the named filter family and OEM part number, using official manufacturer compatibility resources as the reference. Review our process and fit safeguards before purchasing.
Read our complete verification method →Replacement timing
The listed interval is every 6 months. Treat that as a manufacturer-style baseline rather than a guarantee. Heavy use, high sediment, reduced dispenser flow, unfamiliar taste, or a filter alert may justify earlier replacement.
After installation, flush the cartridge according to the refrigerator manual, inspect the housing for leaks, and reset the filter indicator only after the new filter is seated correctly.

OEM and compatible alternatives
Begin with RPWFE as the reference OEM part. A third-party filter should explicitly name that part, fit the same housing, and provide independently verifiable certification for any contaminant-reduction claims. Similar shape or a general claim of brand compatibility is not enough.
We do not assign performance ratings based on retailer descriptions. Compare the exact cartridge listing, certifier database, seller identity, and return policy before choosing an alternative.
