SCWF3CTO Water Filter – Cross-Reference & Wholesale (Electrolux Smart Choice)

The SCWF3CTO is the genuine Electrolux Smart Choice refrigerator water filter – the manufacturer’s own OEM replacement for Frigidaire and Electrolux PureSource systems. Safe Appliances supplies it wholesale at dealer pricing, in bulk, with OEM quality and a low return rate. This guide covers what the SCWF3CTO is, full specifications, what it reduces, its cross-reference numbers and compatible models, how to install and maintain it, and why genuine OEM matters for resellers.

What the SCWF3CTO is

The SCWF3CTO is part of Electrolux’s genuine Smart Choice line – the manufacturer’s certified replacement for Frigidaire / Electrolux PureSource cartridges. It uses the same slide-and-click housing as PureSource filters, so it drops straight into compatible refrigerators. If your refrigerator originally used a WF3CB (PureSource3) or an ULTRAWF (PureSource Ultra), the SCWF3CTO is a Smart Choice replacement for it.

Full specifications

What the SCWF3CTO reduces

The SCWF3CTO is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42:

• NSF/ANSI 42 – aesthetic effects: chlorine taste and odor.
• Class II particulates – certified for particulate reduction.

The result is cleaner, better-tasting water and ice for everyday use. (For broader health-contaminant certification such as lead reduction, the premium PureSource cartridges carry NSF 53 in addition.)

Cross-reference & compatible models

The SCWF3CTO cross-references and replaces these part numbers:

WF3CB (PureSource3), ULTRAWF (PureSource Ultra), 242086201, 85075-SGP-001.

It fits French-door and side-by-side refrigerators from Frigidaire and Electrolux (and certain Kenmore / Sears models) that use the slide-and-click filter housing. Frigidaire models include DGUS2645LF6A, FFHS2611LB5, FFHS2611LB7, FFHS2611LB8 and FFHS2611LB9.

Always confirm the correct part by your refrigerator’s model number before ordering. Send us a part list and we cross-reference it in bulk.

How to install or replace the SCWF3CTO

1. Locate the filter – usually in the upper-right interior of the fresh-food compartment, or behind the base grille, in a slide-and-click bay.
2. Slide or press the old cartridge to release it and pull it straight out.
3. Insert the new SCWF3CTO and push until it clicks into place – no tools needed.
4. Run about 2-3 gallons through the dispenser to flush carbon fines and clear trapped air.
5. Reset the filter-status indicator (press and hold the filter or reset button for about 3 seconds).

When to replace and maintenance

Replace about every 6 months or 300 gallons, whichever comes first. Replace sooner if you notice:

• Reduced water or ice dispenser flow;
• A returning chlorine taste or odor;
• The filter-status light turning on;
• Cloudy or off-tasting water.

An exhausted carbon block stops reducing chlorine effectively and can restrict flow. The regular 6-month cycle also makes the SCWF3CTO a strong repeat-order item for resellers.

Why genuine OEM Smart Choice

Genuine Electrolux Smart Choice SCWF3CTO cartridges are built for the PureSource slide-and-click housing, so fit and seating are predictable and the stated NSF/ANSI 42 performance is assured. For retailers and repair companies, that keeps returns and callbacks low, which protects margin on volume and builds repeat trust with end customers.

Troubleshooting

• No or slow water after replacement: make sure the cartridge is fully clicked in, then flush trapped air by running the dispenser.
• Sputtering or air in the line: normal for the first minute or two after a change – keep flushing until the stream is steady.
• Cloudy water: usually trapped air, which is harmless and clears after flushing.
• Filter will not click in: confirm the slide-and-click orientation and that you have the correct SCWF3CTO.
• Leaking: re-seat the cartridge and check the seal.
