The GE XWFE refrigerator water filter is an OEM carbon filter cartridge built for GE refrigerators that use RFID chip recognition. As a GE XWFE OEM replacement filter, it's built to match GE's factory specifications for fit and performance, and it's also known as the GE XWFE RFID filter since the chip lets the refrigerator confirm proper installation. It reduces chlorine taste and odor, lead, PFOA, PFOS, and other emerging contaminants for cleaner water and ice. Confirm your refrigerator model uses the XWFE filter system before ordering, since GE's older XWF and RPWFE filters aren't always interchangeable.
