GE XWFE Genuine Refrigerator Water Filter, 1pk

Sure beats paying $50 at the big box stores. Hoping a hack comes along so we can use XWF which are way cheaper.

But does it have the RFID chip in it so that it will function with most of the newer fridges?

These are genuine GE so they should.

Mine arrived in good condition, despite being packaged solely in a Tyvek bag with no cushioning. This could’ve been better prepared for shipment with bubble wrap.

TIL that appliance manufacturers have looked upon printer manufacturers as their source of anti-consumerism profit protection inspiration. :pouting_cat:

Cut the RFID chip out off the old filter and stick it next to the sensor? A quick search says that’s it’s under a label, but trying to remove it intact can be iffy. A hacksaw to to old filter housing might be a safer bet.

(Note that I am not staff. I just volunteer to help out on the forums.)

I don’t think that will work. If you put the same code back in, the filter will probably work, but the filter life counter will not come off of zero.
