How to Replace Frigidaire PureSource Water and PureAir Filters Together

You notice the fridge water tastes funny or a smell lingers when you grab leftovers – that's often a sign the filters need a swap. Doing both water and air at the same time keeps things running smooth.

Frigidaire's PureSource water filters remove chlorine, sediments, and metals for better tasting drinks and ice. PureAir air filters trap food odours and gases like ethylene from fruits. In Gallery and Professional series models, these dual filters work together for overall freshness. The process is straightforward – twist or push types in most cases. Competitors like GE's RPWFE or Whirlpool's EveryDrop use similar carbon setups, but Frigidaire's combo appears to handle everyday kitchen smells reliably. This guide covers dual replacement for Gallery/Pro series, with steps based on current models. Unplug the fridge first for safety, and have a towel ready for drips. Flush water lines after to clear carbon dust.

Preparing for the Dual Swap

Gather the new PureSource water filter (like EPTWFU01) and PureAir air filter (like PAULTRA2). Check your model number inside the door or on the back to confirm fits – Gallery often has grille water spots, Pro ceiling air.

Turn off the water supply valve behind the fridge if you can reach it – this cuts down on mess. Remove nearby shelves or bins for easy access. The whole dual swap takes 10-15 minutes.

Replacing the PureSource Water Filter

Gallery and Pro models place water filters in the base grille or upper interior for quick changes.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Locate the housing – base grille for many Gallery, upper right inside for Pro.
2. Remove the grille by pulling clips if needed.
3. Twist the old filter counterclockwise a quarter-turn or push to release.
4. Pull it out – water might drip.
5. Remove caps from the new filter.
6. Insert and twist clockwise until it locks or clicks.
7. Replace the grille.
8. Flush 2-3 gallons – discard to clear residue.

This fits models like FGHB2868 or FPSC2278UF. If flow stays slow, air pockets linger – keep dispensing.

Replacing the PureAir Air Filter

Air filters in these series sit in the ceiling or rear wall for better circulation.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Open the fresh food door and find the compartment – often top rear or ceiling grille.
2. Flip or slide the cover open.
3. Pull the old filter straight out.
4. Insert the new PureAir, matching arrows if marked.
5. Close the cover firmly.
6. Reset any indicator light – hold the button 3 seconds.

Dual swaps in Gallery/Pro are efficient – do water first, then air while the fridge is open.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

No water? Check seating – reseat if loose. Leaks? Tighten connections. Odours persist? Clean interiors with baking soda mix.

Tips for Dual Replacement

• Swap both every 6 months – align dates for ease.
• Flush water thoroughly after – cloudy at first is normal.
• Store spares cool and dry – lasts longer.
• Hard water? Change water filter sooner.
