Overview

A 3-pack refrigerator water filter built to replace GE's MSWF cartridge, including 101820A, 101821B and RWF1500A model numbers. Uses a coconut shell carbon block rated for about 6 months or 300 gallons, with NSF 42 and 372 certifications.

This is an aftermarket alternative, not an OEM part, priced well under the GE original. Buyers consistently report it swaps in without leaks or fit issues, which is the main risk with any generic filter.

Who it's for

Made for GE refrigerator owners whose model calls for an MSWF-series filter and who want a lower-cost multi-pack instead of buying OEM one at a time. Not for fridges that take a different filter number.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Reviewers who switched from the GE OEM filter say it tastes the same and installs just as easily, several calling it half the cost of the original. Multiple buyers specifically note no leaks after installation.
