Refrigerator Water Filter Finder – Find the Right Filter for Your Fridge

Finding the right refrigerator water filter comes down to two things: your fridge’s model or filter part number, and where the filter sits. Use the finder below, or jump to “where is my filter located” to identify yours by refrigerator type.

Where is my filter located?

Filter placement depends on your refrigerator type — pick yours:

Top Freezer

Many basic top-freezer models have no built-in cartridge — they use an inline filter on the water line behind the fridge. If yours has a door dispenser, check the base (kickplate) grille along the bottom front.

Bottom Freezer

Look inside the fresh-food compartment — usually the upper-right corner or along the top-left ceiling. Some models hide it behind the base grille at the bottom front.

French Door

Most often inside the fresh-food section, upper-right corner or top-center. Many newer French-door models place the filter in the base grille at the bottom front.

Side-by-Side

Commonly in the base grille (bottom-front kickplate), or inside at the top of the refrigerator side. Twist-style and push-button releases are both common here.

4-Door French Door

Inside the fresh-food area (upper-right or top) or in the base grille. On flex-zone / quad models, check near the top of the main fresh-food compartment first.

How to find your refrigerator model number

The quickest way to match a filter is by your refrigerator’s model number, printed on a manufacturer’s sticker on the appliance (not in the manual, which often covers several models). Common spots: the ceiling or a side wall inside the fresh-food compartment, behind the bottom crisper drawer, along the door frame, or on the kick plate at the bottom front. You can also read the part number directly off your current cartridge.

Filter families by brand

Most brands use standard filter families, which makes matching easier:

Why choose genuine OEM

A genuine OEM cartridge is built to the exact fit and the NSF/ANSI certification your refrigerator was designed for, so it seals correctly and reduces the contaminants it claims to. That keeps returns and callbacks low – which is why matching the right genuine filter the first time matters.
