Refrigerator Water Filter Cross-Reference Chart

GE, LG, Samsung, Frigidaire, and the Whirlpool family (Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air) each use their own refrigerator water filter, and none of them are cross-compatible with each other — a Whirlpool cartridge will not fit a Samsung housing no matter how close the size looks. This chart pulls the verified part number, retail aliases, and compatible model series for the brands and models we’ve currently verified into one table, so you can confirm your exact filter without digging through five separate brand pages.

Why Filters Aren’t Cross-Compatible Between Brands

Each manufacturer designs its own housing shape, thread pattern, and (on newer GE models) an RFID chip the fridge checks before accepting a cartridge. A filter that physically resembles another brand’s cartridge almost never fits the same socket, and even when it does thread in, the fridge’s flow rate and pressure specs are tuned to that brand’s own filter. There’s no universal “fits everything” refrigerator filter the way there sometimes is with HVAC or vacuum filters — brand and part number both have to match.

How to Confirm Your Exact Match

The fastest, most reliable check is the code printed directly on your existing filter, not your refrigerator’s model number alone — manufacturers reused model number ranges across years inconsistently, so the part number on the cartridge itself is the one number that won’t lead you wrong. Each brand guide linked in the table above has a finder tool or full model list to confirm your specific match before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use one brand’s filter in another brand’s refrigerator?

No. Refrigerator water filters are not cross-compatible between brands — a GE, LG, Samsung, Frigidaire, or Whirlpool-family filter is built for that brand’s own housing shape and, in some GE models, an RFID chip the fridge specifically checks for. Always match by the part number printed on your existing filter, not by physical similarity.

What’s the difference between RPWFE and RPWF?

RPWFE adds an RFID chip that some newer GE, GE Profile, Café, and Monogram models require for the filter to be recognized. RPWF is the older, non-chip version. On models that accept both, they’re interchangeable; on RFID-mandatory models, only RPWFE will clear the filter indicator. Check the GE RPWFE guide for which series require which.

Why does Samsung have two different filter families?

HAF-QIN (DA97-17376B) and HAF-CIN/EXP (DA29-00020B) cover two different generations of Samsung refrigerators. HAF-QIN fits the newer RF23M, RF28R, RF28T, and RS22T/RS23A/RS27T/RS28A series; HAF-CIN/EXP fits the older RF23-RF31 and RS25/RS27 series. They are not interchangeable — check the code on your existing filter before ordering either one.

My exact model isn’t listed in the chart above — what should I do?

Check the part number printed directly on your current filter cartridge rather than relying on your refrigerator’s model number alone. Manufacturers reused model ranges inconsistently across production years, so the code on the filter itself is the most reliable way to confirm a match. Each brand’s full guide, linked in the table above, includes a more complete model list or finder tool.
