Overview
GE makes the MWF as the genuine replacement cartridge for its refrigerators, and the certifications cover both taste related impurities and contaminants with health effects. The cartridge goes in place of the old one, and the listing warns that counterfeit filters can damage the system.
Certified reduction of lead, cysts and a handful of pharmaceuticals is what the genuine part offers over an imitation, and that is why GE steers owners to it. The limitation is the short warranty and the fact that the listing never says which refrigerators it fits.
Who it's for
Households replacing a worn filter on a GE refrigerator and wanting the certified part instead of a copy. Owners of other brands, or of GE models with a different filter number, should check their manual before ordering.
Pros and cons
- Certified to four NSF/ANSI standards
- Reduces lead and chlorine resistant cysts
- Reduces PFOA/PFOS and microplastics
- Genuine GE part
- Compatible refrigerator models not listed
- Thirty day warranty only
- Six month replacement interval
- Single cartridge per pack
Performance notes
Filtration relies on water passing through the cartridge media slowly enough for contaminants to be captured, so flow and reduction fall off as the media loads up, which is why the replacement interval exists. Impurities listed as reduced are not necessarily present in every supply, as the listing itself notes.

Frequently asked questions
Can the GE MWF filter be cleaned and reused?
