- Genuine GE factory part
- Works with MWF and GSWF water filters
Our customers tell us this GE filter adapter can be tough to find, so we always keep a healthy supply in stock. If your fridge uses one of those old GE or Culligan filters with a silver metal housing, this adapter will let you upgrade to the GE MWF Filter which is better and cheaper. Best of all… the adapter is designed to be reused so you’ll never have to buy another one!
Beware…………..,
Consumers BEWARE! The GE Smartwater GWF filter is not a replacement for the old ‘Culligan’ FXRC metal filter. Despite the available adapter, the new Smartwater GWF filter was designed for a newer ‘high-pressure’ system installed in GE refrigerators manufactured after 2001. On the older models using normal water pressure [mine is a GE Performance Profile] these filters do not work. They will seem fine at first, only to run to a trickle in less than a month. I burned through several of these at @ $40.00 each until I discovered the problem.
With millions of wasted filters and dollars at stake, GE refuses to acknowledge the problem. I was told to find a technician at my expense. GE refused to replace the filters with a properly designed compatible model.

|Has anyone tried to fit the MXRC filter into a GE Profile fridge?,
Does the MXRC filter even fit the GE Profile fridge? According to the details under the Amazon listing for the MXRC, it may not. They stress a few times that the GE Profile will need the crappy MWF filters with adapter. I use the MWF filters with an adapter and I’m sick of trickling water and, twice, leaking from the water system of my fridge (which I swear is related to this fiasco with incompatible water pressure). I want to try the MXRC but don’t want to waste $50 if it doesn’t fit. Has anyone tried the MXRC on a GE Profile fridge?

|it works but very slow water flow rate,
The filter and adapter fit in my old GE fridge I have so I’m happy. Replaced filter FXRC. I could have bought a new FXRC or MXRC (replacement filter from GE b/c FXRC is discontinued) as some places must still have a stock of the old FXRC. The MWF (newest filter) and the adapter (needed to fit in the older GE model fridges) fits fine but the water flow rate is unbearably slow. It seemed to have made ice in short order though. I may try the MXRC the next time and see if the flow rate is any better but the MWF is a cheaper filter and I already have the adapter. We’ll make that decision when this filter is done. This is a second fridge in the garage anyway and we use it mostly for storage and extra ice making capacity. The water flow rate for my purposes are minimal but it’d be nice if it worked well enough to use.
