When it’s time to replace your filter, remove the original one and pay attention to the filter model number.
After buying the replacement filter, there must be a marked model number on the surface of the filter. We should make sure the model number is XWF, and not MWF.
This XWF filter is compatible with GE refrigerator, which can be classified into two types, BOTTOM FREEZER REFRIGERATOR and SIDE BY SIDE REFRIGERATOR. They have different corresponding ways to install. Here, we will explain the installation separately, based on the refrigerator..
For BOTTOM FREEZER REFRIGERATOR , install the new filter by lining up the ports on the filter with the ones on the filter cartridge, then gently insert the filter.Turn the filter to the right until it stops.When it’s in the right spot, the arrow will line up. Slowly push the filter up into the clips.
For side by side refrigerator, line up the arrows on the filter and the holder, then gently push the top of the new filter up inside the holder.Turn the filter to the right until it stops, taking special care not to over tighten.
After run water from the dispenser for 2 gallons or approximately 5 minutes to clear the system. Water may spurt out and air bubbles may be visible during this process. If water is not flowing, check to make sure the filter has been fully rotated to the right.
Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad (only on select models) on the dispenser for three seconds.
