PARTIAL LIST. Models harvested from RedStag Supplies' RPWFE listing, which splits them into (a) models that REQUIRE the RPWFE (RFID chip mandatory) and (b) models that originally used the RPWF, for which the RPWFE fits as the current replacement; GE itself publishes only 'select French-door GE, GE Profile, Café and Monogram refrigerators' and no full model list, so treat this retailer list as partial. RPWFE vs RPWF (per GE support): RPWFE carries an RFID chip the refrigerator uses for leak detection and filter-status monitoring; the older RPWF has no chip. RPWFE is backwards compatible with RPWF models, but an RPWF cannot substitute where a model requires the RPWFE. Model numbers often carry a trailing suffix; the source advises matching the first eight characters.
Certification
Maker claims NSF/ANSI 42, NSF/ANSI 53 — no independent certifier listing was found when checked on 2026-11-11. Treat the claim as unverified.
GE Appliances Parts spec page marks NSF 42, NSF 53, NSF/ANSI 42 and NSF/ANSI 53 'Yes' and claims reduction of 70+ impurities incl. lead, PFOA/PFOS and microplastics. GE's own spec page states the pharmaceutical claims were tested/verified by an independent laboratory and were NOT certified by NSF International. No NSF directory listing or GE performance data sheet was opened in this pass, so this is recorded as manufacturer_claimed, not certified. Certifier-directory check 2026-11-11 (hard rule: 'certified' requires the certifier's own listing opened directly): NSF's DWTU listings were opened at info.nsf.org - the GE Appliances, a Haier Company listing under NSF/ANSI 42 contains only reverse-osmosis and point-of-entry products, no refrigerator cartridges, and trade-name searches return only aftermarket manufacturers. The IAPMO R&T Product Listing Directory (pld.iapmo.org) is a JavaScript application whose listing content could not be opened with text fetch, so no certifier listing was directly verified; status is therefore manufacturer_claimed with listing_url and listed_name null.
