find-your-refrigerator-water-filter

If you’re not sure which refrigerator water filter your fridge uses, you’re not alone. Many people don’t know their filter model until it’s time to replace it. The good news is that finding the correct refrigerator water filter is usually quick and easy once you know where to look.

This guide explains how to find your refrigerator water filter model, where filters are typically located, and how to identify the correct replacement for your refrigerator.

Where to Find Your Refrigerator Water Filter Model

Most refrigerators have the water filter located inside the refrigerator compartment or in the base grille near the bottom of the appliance. The filter itself usually has the model number printed directly on the label.

Common locations include the upper right corner inside the refrigerator, the base grille at the bottom of the fridge, or inside the refrigerator ceiling panel. Once you remove the filter, the model number is typically printed clearly on the side of the cartridge.

Check Your Refrigerator Owner’s Manual

Another way to identify your refrigerator water filter is by checking the owner’s manual for your refrigerator model. The manual typically lists the exact filter model used by the appliance.

If you don’t have the printed manual, most manufacturers allow you to search for your refrigerator model number online and download the manual directly from their support website.

Look Up Your Refrigerator Model Number

If the filter label is difficult to read, you can also find the correct water filter by using your refrigerator’s model number. The model number is usually located on a label inside the refrigerator wall, behind a crisper drawer, or on the inside frame of the refrigerator door.

Once you have the refrigerator model number, you can look up which water filter is compatible with your specific refrigerator.
