GE XWFE Refrigerator Water Filter

The GE XWFE refrigerator water filter is the genuine OEM replacement filter for select GE, GE Profile, Café, and Monogram refrigerators. Certified to reduce more than 50 impurities — including lead, chlorine, PFOA/PFOS, microplastics, arsenic, and select pharmaceuticals — it keeps your fridge dispensing clean, fresh-tasting water and ice for up to six months per filter.

What the XWFE filters out

The XWFE is certified to NSF/ANSI drinking water treatment standards and reduces 50+ contaminants, including:

• Lead and arsenic — heavy metals that affect water safety
• Chlorine — the most common cause of bad-tasting tap water
• PFOA / PFOS (“forever chemicals”) and microplastics
• Select pharmaceuticals such as ibuprofen and progesterone trace residues

Note: impurities filtered are not necessarily present in all users’ water.

Which refrigerators does the XWFE fit?

The XWFE is the guaranteed-fit filter for select GE, GE Profile, Café, and Monogram French-door, side-by-side, and built-in refrigerators (generally models from 2019 onward that previously used the XWF — the XWFE is the updated version with an RFID leak-detection chip). If your fridge currently uses an XWF or XWFE, this filter fits. When in doubt, check the model number inside your refrigerator door against GE’s filter-fit lookup.

Installation and filter life

• Tool-free replacement — no water shutoff needed; twist out the old filter, twist in the new one
• Replace every 6 months for best filtration and flow rate
• Run a few gallons of water through after installing to flush the carbon media

Genuine GE vs. compatible filters

Compatible (aftermarket) XWFE-style filters cost less, but newer GE refrigerators use the filter’s RFID chip — non-genuine filters may trigger a “replace filter” warning or reduced dispenser function on some models. The genuine GE XWFE guarantees full compatibility. Compare prices from every store above to get the genuine filter at the best price.
