Refrigerator Water Filter Frigidaire ULTRAWF



 Fits perfectly in the fridge, lasts the full 6 months before the replace light comes on. Just remember that the water line might have some gas in it, so you really need to run the water through for some time before it settles down, along with the particulates. It works well if you follow the instructions. Also, empty out your ice container if you have an ice maker and turn it off while replacing the filter.

I bought this 4 months ago and the "REPLACE" light has already come on. We don't drink a lot of water each day. How long is the filter supposed last?
-I believe they're only supposed to last 6 months. Our initial filter lasted that long.
-They are supposed to last 6 months. I've been told that when your replace light comes on, you should be able to reset it at least once before "replacing" it. I didn't know this until I just bought my last one and have not had to reset it yet. However the prior one I think said replace prematurely as we lost power several times and was only in the fridge a few months before the replace light came on. Hope this helps!
-Frigidaire recommends 6 month replacements. The one that came with my new fridge lasted about 6 before it "claimed" replace but I ran it up to about 8 or 10 before replacing it. The second one is still going strong 8 to 9 months in with no warning from the fridge. We don't use it a ton as my daughter is too young and I have a Brita water pitcher for instant or bulk needs which helps prolong the life of both.
I would say you can get 12 months (not on the first filter) of light to moderate use. 8 months of moderate use and 6 of heavy use before you should think about replacing.
If the water flow is noticeably slower than normal definitely look into it.
-Short answer, is until it is full of the containments that it is filtering out of your water. 6 months if your water is very clean to start with, a matter of days if your water is heavily contaminated with the stuff it filters for. And it is a long list, and also cleans out extremely fine particles, and that will plug them fast. Again depending on your water supply.

Is this an actual Maytag Brand? what is on your picture, is that what I am getting? I do not want a generic, Non-Maytag Filter.
-Yes this is the Maytag brand and you get what's pictured. I have bought 3 with no issues.
-YES, it is a Maytag filter.
That's why I bought this one, the other ones don't fit.
-It has Maytag on it...I think Pur makes it....the last filter looked like this one and worked fine...refrigerator is only 2 years old...love it, just disappointed in this filter...
-I am sure it is, although the packaging is long gone and I would rather not remove the filter to made absolutely sure. This is the second or third replacement filter I have purchased from Amazon. It apparently is made to fit several refrigerators.

-In the fridge upper right hand side of the ceiling. Easy install. It's enclosed in a case that opens with a push of a button.

-on my whirlpool it is located on the top right inside the fridge.
-Inside fridge upper right hand corner there is a "holder" The cover drops down for the filter installation

-The answers below are absolutely right....very easy to install.
-This filter locates under the ceiling of the refrigerator at the right side.
The installation guide in details has been attached with the product.

Aqua-Pure Plus Refrigerator Water Filter Samsung DA29-00003G

I purchased my Samsung a year ago. I just hooked up the water line and the replacement light came on? Why did it expire when I've never run the water?
-The replacement light simply runs on a timer so it is likely just a coincidence that it came on now. There are no sensors that measure the quantity of water through the filter or quality or water output. Simply reset the filter reminder on the panel and wait till the next time that it comes on to replace.
-You need to reset after you replaced the new filter. It wont rest the light for you.
-Even if you never used before the water line, you should reset the filter reminder. After that, you should change it about every 6 months (recommended by Manufacturer).
-If you are just now setting up the filter, than you will have to (re)set the filter settings. Mine does not do so and I have to reset to filter monitor every time I swap out an old for a new. However, I would call Samsung directly and see if this is the case for yours as well.

This filter works great and is very easy to install. But, I've noticed when installing the filter that the marks on the filter NEVER line up with the "lock" marks on the fridge. Does this happen to anyone else? Filter goes on EASY, but I'm always wondering if I'm doing something wrong and that's why the marks don't line up per the instructions.
-Here is the answer we got from Samsung tech who was called to the house when the new fridge water tasted terrible.
The filter has to be inserted and turned to catch, THEN PUSHED UPWARD AND TURNED TO ENGAGE THE FILTER COMPLETELY.
Then the arrows will line up.
We knew something was wrong when there was no water in the original filter when first removed. Apparently, the guys who installed the fridge never fully engaged the filter, and I followed their lead. The filter works perfectly now.
We were also cautioned about "generic" filters that are knock-off quality and not able to filter as well or as long. There are duplicate Samsung filters made in Korea that are low rated but look exactly the same. Genuine Samsung filters with a higher rating are made in Mexico. Hope this helps
-The filter always lines up with the "lock"mark. My problem has always been removing the old filter. Hope this helps.
-mine did the same thing but it has nothing to do with performance or cause a leak. All is well. Mine has been on for a while and is working fine.
-The filter lines-up with the lock icon and mark almost perfectly on our refrigerator, within about 2 or 3 degrees, which I would say is lined up. If you think you have an issue, you can eyeball the lock points with the filter off and mark the lock points with lines using a marker. Do the same with the filter that is off and then install the filter to check the match point lines. If the match point lines line-up, you will know you are locked in. You can then opt to make a new line-up mark to match your filter where you will not have to guess any longer. Hope this helps.

General Electric MWF Refrigerator Water Filter

Why do the multi-pack cost more than a single filter? Seems like you're gouging potential buyers who might aaume it's more economical buying multpacks
-The price you post for one filter is less than your price for each filter in the multi-packs which makes no sense. That's why I feel it appears that you are gouging buyers who might typically think it's more economical to buy the multi-packs when, in fact, it is not. The filters are more expensive per unit in the multi-packs compared to your single filter price regardless of what prices you've seen elsewhere.

I just received one of these. After installation, I notices several glasses of black water coming out the dispenser. Was wondering what it could be?
-you need to run about 1 1/2 gallons thru the filter to get it ready to dispense clear filtered water
-That's normal. You are outing the system. Keep doing that until it's clear and make sure to get all the air out too by holding down for 2-3 mins.
-I've purchased and installed about 12 of these and never had black water.


I just installed a new GE MWF filter and ran 11/2 gallons of water thru the filter that went from black to gray then clear is this normal?
-yes, it should of told you on the box the run a gallon of H20 dispensed from your fridge. it is normal
-We installed ours and did not have any black/ gray water.
-Yes, it was clear the charcoal out of the fliter and it should be good for six months unless you use it a lot more than our family of four do. I hope this is of some help.
-I've been using these filters for several years now and have never seen that. My water always comes out clear, even when it's first running through the filter.
-Wow, black, is someone fracking near you? :). I generally run water thru new filter for 3 minutes after installation. Only once, after not changing on schedule, did I have some gunky looking material appear in the first minute, then it cleared. Usually clear right away....and same 'til time to replace. Maybe The old filter was in WAY too long...hopefully that's all. Good luck
-We installed ours over a week ago and have not had any discoloration in our water. We have our own well and the water was clear with the old filter and has remained clear with the new filter. If you're on city water, you might check to see if there are any chemicals they put in that might react with the filter.
