The XWFE water filter does the job, but honestly, it's overpriced for what you get. Even when the filter is fairly new, I sometimes notice a weird taste in the water, which defeats the purpose a bit. It fits and functions, but I expected better performance given the cost.

We are happy to hear that your refrigerator water filter is operating as designed. The pricing of parts are dependent on multiple factors. The economic elements can include distribution, warehousing, and availability, which account for a portion of the selling price of the part. You can also rest assured that when a water filter is purchased directly from us or one of our retailer partners, it is a genuine GE Appliances part. If you would prefer to not purchase filters for your refrigerator, we do offer free filter bypass plugs. If this is something that you are interested in, please reach out to us.

The XWFE Water Filter for my 3-month old GE fridge is advertised and labelled as a 6-month product. After 3 months of normal usage I've had to replace 2 due to the water pressure from the fridge being reduced to a trickle. We use less than 1 gallon of water a day, and the fridge's sensor reports the Filter Status as having 77% usage remaining, but the filtered water barely comes out. When I replace the filter with a new one, the water flows out quickly again and acts perfectly fine for the next 5 weeks until it slows again.

The water filter in your refrigerator should be replaced every six months or usually after every 170-200 gallons of dispensed water, whichever comes first. We would like to assist you with this filter and gather some additional information from you. An agent will be reaching out to you via email. Please respond to the email at your earliest convenience.
Worked well, but expensive.

McTrice - 17 days ago, Verified purchaser
Did i unknowingly purchase a refurbished GE XWFE water filter? I purchased this filter, used it for 1 month and suddenly the water flow became slower and slower. I checked the filter status and it was reading 79%. I tried cleaning the tube, removing and replacing the filter ...no change. I had to run out and purchase bottled water ever since. It still makes ice, but we are not able to get the water to go past a trickle. I am disappointed big time!, because it is a huge inconvenience that I am now spending a lot of money paying for dozens of bottles of water each month, after having already purchased this very expensive water filter to do the job. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND HORRIBLE!!!

I am so disappointed with the quality of these products. First of all, they came looking dirty. Second, 2 of them were made incorrectly and my 6 month old fridge could not read the newly installed filters. I am regretting purchasing this fridge.

I purchased two water filters and they both throw the Err code. I tried all the troubleshooting options but still get the code. The only difference I can see is the top of the filter has changed. At any rate, we are without filtered water and I don't know if I should waste more money trying another one.

GE has added an RFID chip to the water filter in order to prohibit the owner of the fridge from using aftermarket water filters and to force the owner to purchase these over-priced filters. The RFID chip is an unnecessary technology and the older XWF filters are proof of it. You can monitor a water filter's usage without the RFID technology and without attempting to monopolize the related consumables market.

We'd like to assist you with your XWFE filter. To have Leak-Detecting Sensing Technology, the XWFE filter uses a RFID sensor. The sensor communicates with the refrigerator controls and can display the following information: Filter Dry - Fill the filter with water before installing the filter. Filter Reaching Expiration or Expired - The Filter Status indicator light will flash red. - At 0% life, the filter will need changing. The refrigerator will continue to dispense ice and water; however, it will not be fully filtered water until you replace the filter. - To resolve, change the water filter or install the bypass plug with the RFID sensor. - Once changed to a new XWFE filter, the Filter Status LED will flash 3 times and the Filter Status indicator will turn OFF. Filter Wet - If the filter becomes wet, the signal will DEACTIVATE THE WATER VALVE to prevent worsening of the leak. - As a result, there will be no ice or water once the water valve is OFF. - The Filter Status indicator light will flash red. - A buzzing sound may be heard. - To resolve, change the water filter or install the bypass plug with the RFID sensor. - A new filter or the bypass plug with RFID will reactivate the water valve. Filter Installed Improperly - Beeping may occur when pressing on the paddle. - To resolve, try one of more of the following options: - Remove and re-install the XWFE filter. - Change to another XWFE filter. - Install the RFID bypass plug in place of the XWFE filter. - No Filter | Bad or Damaged Filter | Wrong Filter | Non-GE Filter - "ERR" will be displayed in the control. - The water valve is deactivated and there will be no water or ice dispensed. - The Filter Status indicator light will flash red. - A buzzing sound may be heard. - To resolve, a new filter or the bypass plug with RFID will reactivate the water valve. - Bypass Plug - Indicates the Bypass Plug with RFID is in place. No Filter | Bad or Damaged Filter | Wrong Filter | Non-GE Filter - "ERR" will be displayed in the control. - The water valve is deactivated and there will be no water or ice dispensed. - The Filter Status indicator light will flash red. - A buzzing sound may be heard. - To resolve, a new filter or the bypass plug with RFID will reactivate the water valve. Bypass Plug - Indicates the Bypass Plug with RFID is in place.
