The only thing I’d add is that my first stick-on didn’t work, so I looked at where the label lines up and adjusted the height of it and it worked.

This is the fastest and most convenient way to use the less expensive filters. I didnt even use a hair dryer- just stayed real patient and pealed it off, then stuck it to the back of the fridge. Note: I had to stick the label a bit higher up than the video to ensure the sensor lined up with the interior fridge sensor. Works like a charm:-)

I just put the old label on the new one. If you need to you can use a piece of scotch tape to hold it in place. Line it up approximately where it was at on the old one. Then make your calendar six months out to remember to change it.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to get around resetting the filter light because it knows it’s the same chip that’s been in there. It would only reset if it was reading a new chip, which means you’ll have to buy their water filter. Thank you for watching and have a blessed day.

I just bought 3 xwf filters for my ge fridge that takes a xwfe filter ( as per GE website). The Xwf should not work in my fridge. So, I carefully took the label off my XWFE filter, and when I looked at the backside of the XWFE filter, there was no chip, just a blank adhesive label. So I put the XWF filter in my fridge and it worked. So, there isn’t any difference between my XWFE filter and my XWF filter. I wonder if GE is sticking the new XWFE on XWF filters….. very strange. Of course, this is what class actions suits are all about!

Any idea how I was able to buy a GE filter that is in a GE box, but doesn't have a chip? It says genuine GE filter too and has instructions that say GE. I didn't jnow a XEFE filter could be bought without a chip.
@TheCoupleThatGrillsTogether
@TheCoupleThatGrillsTogether 16 күн бұрын
I do not know. The XWFE's chip uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate with the fridge. This allows the fridge to authenticate the filter's origin, detect leaks, and determine if it's a genuine factory product. Generic replacement filters cannot replace the XWFE because they lack the RFID chip.

What is the purpose of the RFID chip in these filters, just gives you the filter replacement light or stops water flow?
@TheCoupleThatGrillsTogether
@TheCoupleThatGrillsTogether 3 ай бұрын
The purpose is so you can only use their filter. If you put a filter in that doesn’t have it, it will stop the flow of water. Thank you for the question and for watching. Have a blessed weekend!

I just tried this but it didnt work and I kept getting the Err code whenever I pressed the water button. The work around for me was, I took the XWFE label and applied it to the new XWF filter and it worked. Fridge is only 6 months old so I'm wondering if the newer models will not read the chip since it's backwards when stuck to the back of the fridge.

I purchased a GE fridge 6 months ago with this exact looking RFID filter replacement requirement. My Filter status is currently at 1% remaining. I successfully removed label and taped it to the back and put original filter back in and still working..My Question: After it reaches 0%, will it stop dispensing water? And if so what do you do next? Just swap out with a new generic filter? (I purchased some and already made sure they work with old RFID chip) ....or Do I remove the sticker and reapply it? How does the water begin dispensing again if it stopped dispensing? (There is no reset button on my recently purchased fridge, so do you think I may have to unplug fridge to reset it?)...just trying to anticipate the entire process of using cheaper filters. Thanks.
@TheCoupleThatGrillsTogether
@TheCoupleThatGrillsTogether 6 ай бұрын
It sounds like you are good to go. You will put in a new generic filter and just write a date on there six months from the time you put it in and that’s how you will know to replace it. Unfortunately, there’s no way to reset anything because it’s reading that you have the same GE filter in there. That chip is only there so they know there’s a GE filter in there if that chip was not there and you put that generic filter in there it would not work because it will not read a GE chip. Thank you for watching and have a great week!

Sorry to hear it did not work for you. Go ahead and buy another GE filter and then when that one’s done try it again. In my testing for this I actually went through three GE filters because one of them the chip did not come off clean and it left some residue on the filter so it did not work when I put it on the fridge. So that is always a possibility that that chip just did not come off clean. But again you can always try it next time before you buy another GE filter. Thank you and have a great day.

Thank you so much for watching. Unfortunately, because we are using the same label it believes it’s the same filter so the light will always be red. You’ll just need to put a date on there which I do six months and replace it every six months. Thank you again and have a great day.

Interesting. I just replaced my filter with a "genuine" GE XWFE and took off the label on the old "genuine" GE WXFE and there was no RFID chip like you had. I bought mine for less than 1/2 price online and, who knows, maybe they're good fakes but I'm not having a problem with them. (Now adding an edit -- I wonder if maybe my Café model doesn't really need a WXFE even though the lit says yes. I need to manually confirm on the control panel that the filter has been replaced. So maybe I lucked out that my cheap knock off is OK.)
