Which water filter fits GE PFE28KYNFS?
Our compatibility guide associates GE refrigerator model PFE28KYNFS with GE RPWFE, part RPWFE. This is the identifying number to compare when searching for a replacement refrigerator filter, fridge filter, or compatible cartridge.
Several GE filter families look related but use different housings and, in some cases, electronic filter recognition. The complete model number determines the correct cartridge. Do not choose a cartridge based only on refrigerator color, door arrangement, or product photography.

Open the refrigerator and locate the permanent model-and-serial label, commonly found on a side wall, ceiling, door frame, or behind a crisper drawer. Confirm that it reads PFE28KYNFS, including the final letters and numbers.
- Use the appliance model—not the serial number.
- Compare RPWFE with the number on the installed cartridge.
- Open the official GE confirmation link before ordering.
- Stop if the old and new filter connections do not match.
How often should it be replaced?
The listed replacement interval for GE RPWFE is every 6 months. Replace sooner if the refrigerator manual directs you to, the rated capacity is reached, dispenser flow drops noticeably, taste changes, or the filter indicator requests replacement.
A reset light does not renew the cartridge. Reset the indicator only after installing and flushing the correct new filter.
Installation and flushing
Install the exact specified GE filter and follow the refrigerator prompts; models with filter recognition may require the correct electronic cartridge. Follow the PFE28KYNFS owner’s manual for the exact compartment location, release method, flushing volume, and reset sequence.
Air may cause temporary sputtering during the first dispensing cycles. Continue only as directed by the manual and inspect the housing for leaks. If water continues to escape, shut off the supply and recheck the cartridge, seals, and housing.
OEM versus compatible filters
Use RPWFE as the reference part when comparing alternatives. A compatible cartridge should explicitly identify that OEM number and provide independent evidence for its certification claims. A similar-looking connector or a broad statement that it “fits GE” is not sufficient.
For the lowest-friction choice, use the manufacturer-approved filter. If considering a third-party option, confirm the exact fit, certifier listing, seller, and return policy before opening the package.
