How to Read a Refrigerator Model Number

Copy the complete model, including punctuation and suffixes, before using a filter finder.

Identify the appliance

Photograph the full model label and current cartridge code. Small suffix differences can change compatibility.

Confirm the relationship in a manufacturer record or compatibility chart. Do not rely on shape or marketplace titles alone.

Housing location, reset sequence, flushing quantity and bypass requirements can vary by refrigerator model.

Never force a cartridge. Stop for persistent leakage, no water flow, damaged seals or a filter that will not lock normally.
