Why

  • ✓ GE XWFE refrigerator water filter is listed as the original (OEM) part for this model.

Good to know

  • Replace every 6 months or 170 gallons (GE). XWFE replaces the older XWF; GE says it is compatible with all refrigerators that used XWF. Not interchangeable with RPWFE or MWF/MWFP, which are different cartridges. REVISION GOTCHA: GE's parts diagrams show later production (GSS25GSHKCSS, GSS25GSHLCSS: XWF, now XWFE; GSS25GSHMCSS: XWFE) uses XWFE, but earlier production (GSS25GSHECSS, GSS25GSHGCSS, GSS25GSHJCSS) uses MWF/MWFP. Check the full model number on the rating label, or the filter currently installed.
