Which water filter fits my fridge?

Fridge filters are expensive, and the generics online all claim to fit. This site lists what each maker says a filter fits, the price on the maker's site, and generics whose certifications we checked in the NSF listings. If we couldn't check something, we say "not verified".

Step 1: find your model number

Look for a sticker inside the fridge: on the ceiling, on the side walls (sometimes behind the crisper drawers), on the frame by the door hinge, behind the kickplate at the bottom, or on the back. (Whirlpool's guide shows these spots.) Or just read the part number on your old filter.

Step 2: find your filter

GE owners: newer GE fridges that use the XWFE read an RFID chip in the filter. GE says a missing, wrong or non-GE filter makes the fridge show "ERR" and stop dispensing water and ice. Some generics claim a chip, but check before you buy. More on the XWFE.

Before buying a generic, read how to tell if a generic filter is certified.

Common questions

How do I find which water filter fits my fridge?

Find the model number on the label inside the fridge (usually on a side wall or ceiling), or read the part number printed on your current filter, then look up that part number.

Are generic fridge filters safe?

Some are and some are not. A generic is only verified if it appears in the NSF certified product listings for the standards it claims, such as NSF/ANSI 42, 53 or 401. A logo on the box alone is not proof.

How often should I change my refrigerator water filter?

Most makers recommend about every 6 months, or sooner if water flow slows or taste changes.
