FAQs

Is the FPPWFU01 the same as the ULTRAWF or WF3CB water filter?

No. The FPPWFU01, ULTRAWF, and WF3CB are separate part numbers with different housing designs built for different Frigidaire refrigerator model configurations. They are not interchangeable. Always confirm the correct part number on the existing installed filter before ordering.

What does PurePour PWF-1 mean and is it the same as FPPWFU01?

Yes. PurePour PWF-1 is the technology name for this filter and FPPWFU01 is the part number. Both refer to the same replacement filter. If your refrigerator shows either code on the existing filter label, the FPPWFU01 is the correct replacement to order.

Is the FPPWFU01 available as part of a combo pack with an air filter?

Yes. The FPPWFU01 is available paired with the PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II air filter as a combo kit and also paired with the FRGPAAF2 PureAir AF-2 air filter as a separate combo option. Confirm the correct air filter code on the existing installed air filter before selecting the appropriate combo for your model.

Does the Frigidaire FPPWFU01 filter water going to the ice maker as well as the dispenser?

On most compatible Frigidaire refrigerator models the FPPWFU01 serves both the water dispenser and the ice maker from a single filter housing. Confirm this against your specific model in the Frigidaire user guide before ordering.

How do I reset the filter indicator light after replacing the FPPWFU01?

The reset procedure varies by Frigidaire model but typically involves holding the filter reset button on the control panel for three to five seconds after installation. Consult the user guide for your specific Frigidaire refrigerator model for the exact reset procedure.

Can I use an aftermarket filter instead of the Frigidaire FPPWFU01?

Aftermarket filters may physically fit the housing but certification levels and contaminant reduction performance vary widely between manufacturers. Using a filter that does not carry NSF 42 and 53 certification means contaminant reduction claims are unverified. For consistent tested performance use a certified replacement rated for the FPPWFU01 housing.
