GE (19)
PARTIAL LIST. GE's current page says only 'select GE side-by-side and bottom-freezer refrigerators' (models manufactured after June 2018) and GE's support article states XWF was replaced by XWFE in 2020. Fit models harvested from a marketplace seller's XWF listing (series prefixes GBE21, GDE21, GDE25, GFE24, GFE26, GNE21, GNE25, GNE27, GWE19, GYE18, QNE27, GSE25, GSS23, GSS25, GZS22, PSE25, CZS22 named there); only the fully-spelled model numbers visible in the listing are recorded, so the list is visibly partial and lower-confidence than the manufacturer-sourced lists in this file. GE marks the XWF product page 'This model is no longer being manufactured.'
Certification
Certified: Yes — NSF/ANSI 42, NSF/ANSI 53, NSF/ANSI 401 by IAPMO R&T, verified against the certifier's listings on 2026-11-11. (Certificates: NSF/ANSI 42 (W-9755) · NSF/ANSI 53 (W-9756) · NSF/ANSI 372 (W-9757) · NSF/ANSI 401 (W-9758))
GE's XWF product page was opened via search extract: it lists 170 gal capacity, 0.5 gpm max flow and lead reduction, but no certifier document was opened for XWF itself in this pass. Retailer/secondary sources describe XWF as NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 certified; recorded as manufacturer_claimed pending a GE performance data sheet or directory listing. Note: some older retailer listings state a 300-gallon capacity for XWF; GE's current product page states 170 gallons, which is what is recorded here. 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. Direct-listing verification 2026-11-11: GE's certifier for this cartridge is IAPMO R&T, not NSF — which is why the NSF directory searches above found nothing. IAPMO R&T certificates W-9755 (NSF/ANSI 42), W-9756 (53), W-9757 (372) and W-9758 (401) were opened directly at myplc.iapmo.org, all Status: Active, naming this cartridge. The successor cartridge XWFE is also named on W-9756, W-9757 and W-9758. Status upgraded to certified.
Aftermarket equivalents
| Brand | Part number | Note |
|---|---|---|
| EcoAqua | EFF-6048S | EcoAqua XWF replacement; its system model EFF-6048S is the unit named in the Amazon Basics XWF manual's NSF 42 performance sheet. DiscountFilters lists the EcoAqua XWF (no RFID chip) 1-pack at $34.95. |
| Glacier Fresh | GLACIER FRESH-XWF | Home Depot listing: 'GLACIER FRESH XWF Replacement for GE XWF Refrigerator Water Filter, 2 Pack'. |
| GE (successor) | XWFE | NOT an aftermarket equivalent: XWFE is GE's current chipped successor cartridge. GE states XWFE replaces XWF and fits refrigerators that used XWF; an XWF (no chip) will not satisfy models that require XWFE. |
