When to Replace the Frigidaire FPPWFU01 & PAULTRA2 Combo Kit

Replace both filters in the combo kit when any of the following occur:

• Every 6 months or 200 gallons for the FPPWFU01 water filter, whichever comes first
• Every 6 months for the PAULTRA2 air filter regardless of usage level
• Dispensed water develops a flat taste or noticeable chemical odor
• Refrigerator interior develops persistent food odors between cleanings
• Water flow from the dispenser drops noticeably below normal
• Stored produce spoils faster than expected
• The filter indicator light activates on the Frigidaire control panel

Replacing both filters together at the 6 month mark keeps both systems refreshed simultaneously and eliminates the need to track two separate replacement dates.

FAQs

Is the PAULTRA2 in this combo kit the same as the PAULTRA Pure Air Ultra air filter?

No. The PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II and PAULTRA Pure Air Ultra are separate part numbers with different housing designs built for different Frigidaire refrigerator model generations. Always confirm the correct air filter code on the existing installed filter before ordering.

How is this combo kit different from the FPPWFU01 and FRGPAAF2 combo pack?

This combo kit pairs the FPPWFU01 PurePour PWF-1 water filter with the PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II air filter. The FPPWFU01 FRGPAAF2 combo pack pairs the same water filter with the FRGPAAF2 PureAir AF-2, which is a different air filter format for a different range of compatible Frigidaire models. Always confirm the air filter code on the existing installed filter before ordering.

Can I buy the FPPWFU01 and PAULTRA2 separately instead of as a combo kit?

Yes. Both the FPPWFU01 water filter and PAULTRA2 air filter are available as individual replacements. The combo kit is the more convenient and cost-effective option for households replacing both on the same 6 month schedule.

Why does my Frigidaire refrigerator need both the FPPWFU01 water filter and the PAULTRA2 air filter?

The FPPWFU01 filters contaminants from dispensed water and ice while the PAULTRA2 reduces airborne odor compounds and ethylene gas inside the refrigerator compartment. They serve completely different functions and both need replacing on schedule to maintain consistent performance across both filtration systems.

How do I know if my Frigidaire refrigerator uses the PAULTRA2 and not the PAULTRA or FRGPAAF2?

Check the part number printed on the existing air filter currently installed in your refrigerator. If it shows PAULTRA2 or Pure Air Ultra II, this combo kit is the correct replacement. If it shows PAULTRA, Pure Air Ultra, FRGPAAF2, or PureAir AF-2, a different combo is required for your unit.

Where can I find my Frigidaire refrigerator model number to confirm compatibility?

The model number label is typically located inside the fresh food compartment along the upper door frame or side wall. On some Frigidaire models it may also appear on the back of the refrigerator near the compressor panel.
