If you own a Frigidaire refrigerator, you may be familiar with the WF3CB and UltraWF water filters. These filters are designed to remove impurities and contaminants from your drinking water, ensuring that it is clean, fresh, and safe to consume. In this article, we will take a closer look at the WF3CB and UltraWF filters, their features, benefits, and how to replace them.
The WF3CB Water Filter:
The WF3CB water filter is compatible with Frigidaire refrigerators that have a front-mounted filter, such as the Frigidaire Gallery and Professional series. This filter is NSF-certified to reduce contaminants, including lead, chlorine, mercury, and asbestos, as well as bad taste and odor. It also has a filtration capacity of 200 gallons or six months, whichever comes first.
One of the main benefits of the WF3CB filter is its easy installation process. It comes with a twist-and-lock design that allows you to replace the filter in a matter of seconds. Additionally, the filter has an indicator light that lets you know when it’s time for a replacement.
The UltraWF Water Filter:
The UltraWF water filter is compatible with Frigidaire refrigerators that have a top-mounted filter, such as the Frigidaire Professional and French Door series. This filter is also NSF-certified to reduce contaminants, including lead, chlorine, mercury, and asbestos, as well as bad taste and odor. It has a filtration capacity of 200 gallons or six months, whichever comes first.
Like the WF3CB filter, the UltraWF filter has an easy installation process thanks to its slide-and-click design. It also has an indicator light that lets you know when it’s time for a replacement.
Replacing the Filters:
Replacing the WF3CB and UltraWF filters is a straightforward process. Here’s how to do it:
- Locate the filter. The WF3CB filter is located at the top right-hand side of the refrigerator compartment, while the UltraWF filter is located in the upper-right corner of the refrigerator compartment.
- Turn off the water supply. Before you remove the filter, you need to turn off the water supply to the refrigerator.
- Remove the old filter. To remove the filter, twist counterclockwise (for the WF3CB) or slide (for the UltraWF) and pull it out.
- Prepare the new filter. Remove the protective cover and any packaging from the new filter.
- Install the new filter. Twist clockwise (for the WF3CB) or slide-and-click (for the UltraWF) to install the new filter.
- Turn on the water supply. Once the new filter is installed, turn the water supply back on and run water through the dispenser for a few minutes to flush the system.
Conclusion:
The WF3CB and UltraWF water filters are essential components of your Frigidaire refrigerator. These filters are designed to remove impurities and contaminants from your drinking water, ensuring that it is clean, fresh, and safe to consume. With easy installation and replacement processes, keeping your water filter up-to-date has never been easier. Make sure to replace your filter every six months or when the indicator light alerts you, to maintain optimal performance and avoid any health risks associated with consuming unfiltered water.
