General Electric GE Water Filter Clean, Healthy Systems Refrigerator 2032

Many General Electric refrigerators have ice and water dispensers built into the door. All models that have dispensers are equipped with a filter that keeps the water clean. GE recommends replacing the filter every six months or when the flow of water to the dispenser or ice maker decreases. The procedure for replacing the water filter is the same or similar for most GE refrigerator models.

Step 1

Open the refrigerator door.

Step 2

Twist the existing filter counterclockwise until it disconnects. The filter is located in the back corner of the refrigerator.

Step 3

Align the arrow on the cartridge with the arrow on the cartridge holder. Place the top of the cartridge into the holder.

Step 4

Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Don’t over-tighten it.

About six months ago, I got a brand new GE Cafe fridge from Lowes. It was the CFE28TSHSS model with French doors and a freezer drawer and a completely unnecessary touchscreen on the front. Call me old-fashioned, but I don’t really need my fridge to be smarter than me. I hardly ever use the touchscreen, except for the one time I uploaded some photos onto it from a USB drive. I came to the conclusion that the fridge’s smartness was of no benefit to me.

How to install your new General Electric Water Cooler Filter:

• Turn the old filter half a turn in the opposite direction, but do not pull the cartridge while twisting
• Pull the filter down and discard them (don’t worry, the water will turn off automatically)
• Fill the new water filter (you can use the cold water tap in the kitchen sink)
• Press the new filter up slightly in the fridge until it stops.
• Rotate the filter a half turn clockwise (until it stops)
• Dispense 1 or 2 liters of water from the dispenser to clean the system and avoid spraying
• Reset your “filter change” light
• Resetting your “filter change” light:
• Refrigerators with LCD screens: Press the “Replacement Filter” button.
• Refrigerators without LCD display: Press the “Lost Filter” button on the dispenser for 3 seconds.

Then I got a funny email from GE. And I realized that the high-tech nature of my fridge was never meant to benefit me.

Yep, that’s a little pushy there GE. And oddly menacing?

You have 8 days to buy one of our fine filters. It’d be a shame if there were an accident with your old filter. So, I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse.

For real, it’s an offer you CAN’T refuse. The offer: buy one of their RWPFE filters for $50 every six months, or they shut off your water.

In situations like these, I planned to do what I did with my old fridge. That is, say to heck with these overpriced name brand filters and get a generic one for half the price.

But then I got to googling for a cheap knockoff, and I found something troubling.

You see, GE made a recent change to their water filters. GE fridges used to use RPWF filters. But my fridge requires RPWFE.

Um Jack…. What does the E stand for?

Great question reader. I’m glad you asked!

It’s EVIL. The E stands for evil.

RWPF vs. RPWFE GE Water Filters

The difference between RWPF and RPWFE is that the RPWFE has a freaking RFID chip on it. The fridge reads the RFID chip off your filter, and if your filter is either older than 6 months or not a genuine GE RPWFE filter, it’s all “I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t dispense any water for you right now.”

Now, to be fair, GE does give you a bypass cartridge that lets you get unfiltered water for free (you didn’t throw that thing away, did you?).

There has to be a way to hack this thing. Right? Right.

You can hack your GE fridge to either let you keep using your old filter (not recommended, they get real glommed up after a while which defeats the entire purpose of a water filter) or use an off brand filter.

Not only can you hack your GE fridge, I think you should. And you should tell your friends. Because GE forcing you to buy a $54 filter is wrong.

How to Use Generic Filters in a GE Cafe Fridge

The secret lies in the RFID chip on your bypass filter. That’s the little white torpedo-looking thing that was installed in your fridge when you first got it. I really hope you didn’t throw it away. You can probably order another one from the Mob GE if you lost it.

The filter bypass and the RPWFE filter are very adamant that you orient the filter correctly. They are prominently labeled BACK and FRONT.

Why does it matter so much? Because the “back” is where the RFID chip is hiding.

Peekaboo!

Slip a flathead screwdriver under that sucker on your filter bypass, and it’ll come fluttering off like a rose petal.

Now, you can do three things here. If you can tolerate some trial and error, you can try taping the thing directly into your fridge where it would normally meet up when the filter is installed. You have to get in just the right spot, so the fridge picks it up. If you do that, you’re set for life.

Or, you can tape it onto the front of an expired RPWFE G E water filter, install it backward, and then keep using it (again, not recommended for too much longer than six months). This too may take some trial and error. Make sure you orient it correctly. There’s an up and a down to the RFID chip. Take a picture of it before you remove it from the bypass, so you don’t forget how it goes. There was a little clear bump on mine that helped.
