Will the GE RPWFE refrigerator water filter (RFID-tagged) work with the GE GFE28GYNFS 27.7 cu. ft. fingerprint-resistant French-door refrigerator?
Yes. GE RPWFE refrigerator water filter (RFID-tagged) is listed as the original (OEM) part for this model.
Both records are reviewed against the manufacturers' sources; sources last checked 2026-10-13. Informational only: confirm with the manufacturer before buying.
Why
- ✓ GE RPWFE refrigerator water filter (RFID-tagged) is listed as the original (OEM) part for this model.
Good to know
- Replace every 6 months or 170 gallons (GE). Do not twist an RPWFE cartridge when removing it (GE manual). RPWFE carries an RFID tag (GE's parts list for this model includes an RFID water filter board), and GE says select models use RFID to monitor filter status, so confirm before buying a non-GE filter. If no filter is available, use the bypass plug. Not interchangeable with XWFE. GE's parts diagrams for revisions GFE28GYNBFS and GFE28GYNGFS both show RPWFE.
