Compatible GE Refrigerators

Easy Twist-and-Lock Installation
Replacing the GSWF is designed to be simple and requires no special tools.
- Open the refrigerator filter compartment.
- Unlatch and lower the filter cover.
- Turn the old filter approximately one-quarter turn counterclockwise.
- Pull the old filter straight out.
- Insert the new GSWF filter into the filter housing.
- Turn the filter one-quarter turn clockwise until it locks.
- Close the filter cover.
- Reset the refrigerator's filter indicator if applicable.
- Flush the filter according to your refrigerator's instructions before drinking the water.

When Should You Replace the GSWF?
The GSWF is listed with a 6-month filter life. Actual replacement frequency can vary depending on household water usage and incoming water quality.
Replace the filter sooner if you notice:

- Unusual odor
- Changes in ice taste or quality
- A refrigerator filter indicator showing that replacement is required
The competitor sources disagree on the gallon capacity—both specification tables show 750 gallons, while the Discount Filter Store FAQ states 200 gallons—so the listing intentionally avoids making an unsupported gallon-capacity claim.
