Product Description
Keep your refrigerator water and ice tasting fresh with the GE XWFE refrigerator water filter. Designed for select GE, GE Profile, Café and Monogram refrigerators, the XWFE uses carbon-block filtration to reduce a broad range of unwanted substances from drinking water and ice.
The XWFE is rated for 170 gallons or approximately 6 months of use, whichever comes first. It provides a maximum filtered flow rate of 0.5 GPM and operates within a 25–120 PSI water-pressure range.
