5.0 out of 5 stars Save money. Use this RFID trick that others below talk about. Pointers inside.

The RFID needs to be against the back wall and directly in the middle of the filter.The 1/2" by 3" rectangular array does not seem to play a role in validating the filter is legit. Fyi. Still be carefull with everything.Use a hairdryer on HOT to start working the label off. Be patient, working a corner up, progressing to 3-4mm of that full edge. Why? You want to get your pull from edge to edge, distributing the force of the pull. It took me 10-15 minutes to carefully remove the label. You want to do flat pulls (not aggressive angle pulls) so as to damage the RFID metallic traces. You compromise that, you are screwed (unless you can solder which would be easy). Take your time.I decided to simply attach my still-sticky label to the fridge wall, placing the "weather balloon" RFID center and to just below top of the flange the new filter screws into... and then kept the excess to the left lightly tacked to the back wall.This is the most favorable install because you do this once. This versus apply that sticker to the filter itself (which will eventually degrade the RFID simply from too much handling.My journey is that above. $60 original swapped out, and 3 replacement filters at $10 a piece in its place.2) This filter connects just fine, despite 1 star poster comments. Two points here:- the water ports, while same dimensions, the openings are different (circle vs. half moon). It's okay, the design works with either. They could be star-shaped cut outs and it would be okay.- Someone said "it doesn't screw in or seat properly". What I will tell you is when you install, you first line up the filter correctly under the flange, the PUSH UP LIGHTLY the filter whilst apply equal light force downwards on the top of the flange (offset forces) and you will see that you gain another 1-2 mm by doing that, which in turn makes the "twist right 1/4 turn" work smoothly. You are just pre-seating the water injection tube's rubber o-rings into the filter, which yields that 1-2mm space.Photos: 1) the RFID label adhered behind the filter, and 2) the sketched-out RFID trace design to help with orientation.
5.0 out of 5 stars Compatible with GE fridge
Will 100% be rebuying. Was compatible with our GE fridge. Don’t waste your money on the real one
5.0 out of 5 stars Save $ with this replacement filter.
Perfect fit and function replacement for the GE ($49) refrigerator water filter.
1.0 out of 5 stars These are NOT a replacement for the XWFE cartridges
**I need to add this, I see now in the additional info under the description of these there is the statement "These are not a replacement for the GE XWFE cartridges", that was not there when I bought these in September and these were a suggested alternative. Based on several other 1* reviews, it seems I wasn't the only one to make this mistake as they were supposed to be a suitable alternative for the XWFE. I see they are now specifically excluded, which is due to others finding this out and returning them**We bought a new GE refrigerator last year and replaced our 22+ year old one (which was still working fine). Reading through instructions, I found the directions to replace the water filter every 6 months or so. I immediately searched for the specific filters (XWFE) and found it here, along with these Glacier Fresh filters. They were much cheaper (3 for 30, vs. 1 for 50) so I bought a GE filter and the three pack to compare.Last night out filter light came on and pulled one of the new Glacier Fresh filters and attempted to replace the existing one. They DO NOT FIT. When comparing the sizes, they are very close, the connections are different. The GE filter (on the right in the photo) compared to the Glacier are not compatible. I was able to seat it into the filter connection, but because of the lack of proper holes in the Glacier Fresh filter, the fridge would not recognize it and it would not reset the filter. This locked up my water button, I double checked it was seated (as best as it could be) and then removed it. I put in the new GE filter (XWFE) and it seated perfectly, and reset the filter mechanism. Because I bought these 5 months ago, I cannot return them and they were a complete waste of money.I will purchase ONLY the GE XWFE filters and ensure I have a couple stored for when the new one reaches its end.While I was careful comparing these, I found the statement "These are a direct replacement for XWFE filters", they are not. Just make sure you double check before you invest and open the package to see if a new off-brand filter is really a direct replacement option.Also, you should also read your owner's manual carefully, many models are eligible to receive a bypass plug, free from GE. I also found this out when reordering new filters direct from GE and seeing the bypass plug, (which allows you to use the water/ice maker without any filter) and it's listed for 27.00, but the comments/reviews mention numerous times this is a free product (per the owner's manual). I double checked and sure enough it is for mine as well. I called and requested it, (having registered the warranty when we bought it) and they said "no problem, it's on the way". Why it isn't included with the fridge is simple, so we'll spend the money on filters and hope you don't notice the bypass option.
