ABOUT THE GE® RPWFE WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE.
WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
The water filter cartridge is located in the fresh food
interior on the left side wall, near the top.
Select models use radio frequency identification (RFID)
to detect leaks and monitor filter status. The RFID
technology is certified by the FCC.
FCCID: ZKJ-EBX1532P001 ICID: 10229A-EBX1532P001
“This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.”
“This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.”
WHEN TO REPLACE THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months
or earlier if 170 gallons of water has been dispensed or the
flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
TOUCH SCREEN MODELS: A filter status message will
appear on the screen when the water filter needs to be
replaced. The filter status will automatically update when
the filter is replaced.
NON-TOUCH SCREEN MODELS: A filter indicator light
will illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to
be replaced.
REMOVING THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
To replace the filter, first remove the old cartridge by
opening the filter door and pulling on the bottom of the
cartridge to allow it to swing outward. When the cartridge
can no longer swing, gently pull to unseat it from the
cartridge holder. DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE. A small
amount of water may drip out.
INSTALLING THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
1. Align top of filter cartridge with cartridge holder with
the word “FRONT” facing outward then push the
cartridge toward the rear of the unit until it is fully
seated. DO NOT TWIST THE FILTER CARTRIDGE!
2. While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in
the holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in
position. If filter will not swing easily, check to ensure
filter is properly aligned and fully seated within the
cartridge holder.
Swing
Push \ Pull
3. Run two gallons of water
through the cold water
dispenser (about 5 minutes)
to remove air from the
system. A newly installed
filter cartridge will cause water to spurt from the
dispenser. Use a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch
the water spray. DO NOT use the hot water dispenser
until all air is removed from the system.
4. Reset Filter Status message (non-touch screen models).
WARNING
SCALDING HAZARD.
Use of the hot water dispenser prior to purging air from the
system may result in spurting of hot water and lead to hot
water scalding. Follow the instructions above to purge all
air from the system through the cold water dispenser prior
to using the hot water dispenser.
Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored during
the initial system flush. Water color will return to normal
after first few minutes of dispensing.
FILTER BYPASS PLUG
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water
leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models
do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To
obtain a free bypass plug, call 800-GECARES, in Canada
call 800.561.3344. The dispenser and icemaker will
not operate without either the filter or the bypass plug
installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a
filter cartridge.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts
during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every 6 months at the rated
capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE-branded filters only. Using GE-branded
filters in GE and Hotpoint® refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE filters meet rigorous industry
NSF standards for safety and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. GE has not qualified
non-GE-branded filters for use in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE-branded filters
meet GE’s standards for quality, performance and reliability.
If you have questions, or to order additional filter cartridges, visit our website at www.geapplianceparts.com or call
GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002.
Customers in Canada should consult the yellow pages for the nearest Camco Service Center.
