FAQs

Is the Frigidaire WF2CB the same as the WF3CB water filter?

No. The WF2CB and WF3CB are separate part numbers with different housing designs and different installation types. The WF2CB uses a push-button eject design while the WF3CB uses a twist-in design. They are not interchangeable under any circumstances.

Is the WF2CB the same as 218904501 or FC-100?

Yes. 218904501, 218732309, FC-100, and FC100 are alternative part numbers that refer to the same WF2CB PureSource 2 filter format. If your refrigerator currently shows any of these codes on the existing filter label, the WF2CB is the correct replacement to order.

How do I know if the WF2CB push-button eject filter is the right installation type for my refrigerator?

Check the filter housing in your refrigerator for a release button. If the housing has a button that ejects the filter when pressed, the WF2CB push-button eject design is correct for your unit. If the filter twists out rather than ejects, your refrigerator requires a different Frigidaire filter code.

Can I use the ULTRAWF or FPPWFU01 instead of the WF2CB in my Frigidaire refrigerator?

No. The WF2CB, ULTRAWF, and FPPWFU01 each use different housing designs and are not interchangeable. The WF2CB is the only Frigidaire filter that uses a push-button eject installation design, making it immediately incompatible with any other Frigidaire filter housing.

Does the Frigidaire WF2CB filter water going to the ice maker as well as the dispenser?

On most compatible Frigidaire refrigerator models the WF2CB 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.

Where is the WF2CB filter located in my Frigidaire refrigerator?

The WF2CB filter housing is typically located inside the fresh food compartment or at the base grille at the front of the refrigerator depending on the model. Consult the user guide for your specific Frigidaire model to confirm the exact location before beginning the replacement.
