GE® is a reputable manufacturer of household refrigerators. This article outlines the difference between RPWFE and RPWF filters.

No, they are not. There is a radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in the newer GE® refrigerators, which helps track filter status and detect leaks. So, the presence of this chip, which is connected to the fridge, is one of the ways to know the refrigerator is a genuine factory product.

It is important to note that refrigerators that work specifically with only the RPWFE filter will not be compatible with the old RPWF cartridge. If yours is a GE® RPWFE filter older than six months, there will be a display message on the screen that tells you the refrigerator cannot dispense water.
