Compatibility is determined by the refrigerator model, not by cartridge appearance alone.
No exact appliance-model page published yet
This does not mean the filter lacks compatible refrigerators. It means the launch dataset has not yet published a directly sourced model relationship for this family.
Published specifications
Unknown values remain unknown instead of being copied from a look-alike cartridge.

Certification evidence
Standards are reported for this filter family with the evidence status shown.
A standard is a testing framework, not a promise that every possible contaminant claim applies. Check the exact model and named reduction claim.
Selected reduction claims
This is not a complete performance sheet. It is a source-linked set of claims captured for comparison.
| Claim | Published value | Evidence basis | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead reduction | Match the applicable 170- or 300-gallon label table below | No percentage is selected until the actual filter label and its performance table are matched; laboratory results are not a household performance guarantee | GE Appliances |
| Chlorine taste and odor reduction | Match the applicable 170- or 300-gallon label table below | No percentage is selected until the actual filter label and its performance table are matched; laboratory results are not a household performance guarantee | GE Appliances |
| Cyst reduction | Match the applicable 170- or 300-gallon label table below | No percentage is selected until the actual filter label and its performance table are matched; laboratory results are not a household performance guarantee | GE Appliances |
Match the capacity printed on your filter label
These are separate performance-sheet tables, not a selected capacity for this record. Use only the table that matches your actual filter label and its exact performance sheet. If the match is unknown, no percentage is assigned. Laboratory results depend on test conditions and are not a household performance guarantee.
| Claim and test condition | Average reduction |
|---|---|
| Lead, pH 6.5 | 99.05% |
| Lead, pH 8.5 | 99.14% |
| Chlorine taste and odor | 97.30% |
| Cysts | 99.99% |

| Claim and test condition | Average reduction |

| Lead, pH 6.5 | 99.33% |

Install, flush and reset
The appliance manual remains authoritative when model-specific instructions differ.
- 01
Locate the existing cartridge and note its orientation before removal.
- 02
Install only the exact cartridge family confirmed for the refrigerator model.
- 03
Flush and reset the filter indicator using the refrigerator manual for the exact appliance model.
Flush
The required flush volume varies by refrigerator and filter. Follow the appliance manual or exact manufacturer instructions.
Indicator reset
Reset procedures vary by appliance model. Use the refrigerator control-panel instructions rather than a generic button sequence.
Before you buy
A compact check designed to catch the expensive mistakes.
- Match the complete refrigerator model number, including suffix characters.
- Match the canonical part number or an explicitly listed superseded number.
- Review the exact performance data sheet for the contaminants that matter to your household.
- Check package condition and seller identity before installation.
Research note: Certification to a standard does not mean every claim in that standard applies. Only exact-model claims should be relied on.
Research note: The manufacturer sources disagree: GE’s current product page lists lead reduction of 99.3% at both pH values and chlorine reduction of 97.5%, while its linked performance sheet 49-6000321 Rev. 0 (04-24) gives separate 170- and 300-gallon tables with different results. The product page supports identity and its stated specifications; the performance sheet supplies the conditional laboratory tables shown here. This record does not select a variant or explain the discrepancy. Match the actual filter label and exact performance sheet; if they cannot be matched, confirm with GE before relying on a capacity or reduction percentage.
