Refrigerator filters get sold under a confusing pile of names, the manufacturer’s marketing name, the engineering part number, a big-box rebadge, and half a dozen aftermarket equivalents. Usually they are the exact same physical filter. Use the finder below to land on the right one for your fridge, then decide whether the genuine cartridge or a certified aftermarket swap makes more sense for you.
Key takeaways
Refrigerator water filters are sold under multiple names for the identical physical part: EveryDrop Filter 1, W10295370A, and Kenmore 46-9081 are all the same filter. Reading the part number printed on your old cartridge is the most reliable way to find the right replacement.
Three models specifically require the genuine OEM filter: GE XWFE, GE RPWFE, and Frigidaire EPTWFU01. These use an RFID chip the fridge reads, and most aftermarket cartridges will disable the water dispenser entirely. For every other model, a reputable NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 certified aftermarket filter is a reasonable way to save 40 to 70% off the genuine price.

How to find your filter number (3 ways)
Read the old filter. The part number is printed on the cartridge itself, that is the most reliable source.
Check the fridge model plate. Usually inside the fridge on a side wall or near the crisper drawers; cross-reference the model to its filter.
Look in the manual, or search your fridge model plus “water filter” on the maker’s site.
OEM vs. aftermarket: is the cheaper filter worth it?
Aftermarket filters (Waterdrop, AquaCrest, GlacialPure, ICEPURE, PureLine and others) typically cost 40 to 70% less than the genuine cartridge and, for non-chipped filters, fit and work fine for most households. The trade-offs that actually matter:
| Genuine / OEM | Aftermarket | |
|---|---|---|
| Fit | Guaranteed | Verify NSF certification first |
| RFID models (GE XWFE/RPWFE, Frigidaire EPTWFU01) | Only safe choice | Disables the dispenser |
| Certification | Consistent | Look for real NSF/ANSI 42, ideally 53 — not vague “tested to” claims |
| Price | Premium for certainty | 40 to 70% less |
Our take: for non-chipped filters (most Whirlpool/EveryDrop, Samsung, LG, older GE), a reputable NSF-certified aftermarket filter is a reasonable buy. For RFID models, the math rarely works, a dispenser that will not dispense is not a saving. The finder above flags which is which.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I change my refrigerator water filter?
Most makers recommend every 6 months or roughly 200 to 300 gallons, sooner if you notice slower flow or a change in taste. Hard water and heavy use shorten the interval.
Are aftermarket refrigerator filters safe?
For non-chipped filters, yes, if the filter is certified to NSF/ANSI 42 (and ideally 53). Look for the actual certification, not vague “reduces contaminants” wording. For RFID models, stick with OEM.
What is the difference between EveryDrop Filter 1, W10295370A, and Kenmore 9081?
They are the same filter sold under three names, the EveryDrop marketing name, the legacy Whirlpool engineering number, and the Kenmore rebadge. Any of them, or a compatible aftermarket equivalent, will fit.
Why won’t my aftermarket GE filter let the dispenser work?
GE XWFE and RPWFE filters use an RFID chip the fridge must read. Non-chip aftermarket cartridges disable the dispenser. Use the genuine GE filter for those two models.

Match the filter to your fridge using the tool above, not by guessing from price. For non-chipped models, a certified NSF 42/53 aftermarket filter is a reasonable way to save 40 to 70%. For the three RFID models (GE XWFE, GE RPWFE, Frigidaire EPTWFU01), buy genuine or the dispenser will not work.
