How do I check my current filter part number?
The part number is printed directly on the filter currently installed in your refrigerator. The filter housing is typically located inside the fresh food compartment. Remove the existing filter and check the label before ordering to avoid a mismatch.
What happens if I order the wrong filter?
An incorrectly ordered filter will not seat properly in the housing and will not deliver effective water filtration. In some cases it may appear to fit but leave gaps at the housing connection that allow unfiltered water to pass through to the dispenser and ice maker. Always order by part number rather than by appearance or size.
How Often Should You Buy a Replacement Frigidaire FPPWFU01 Filter?
Order a fresh FPPWFU01 every 6 months or 200 gallons, whichever comes first. Households with higher water consumption may reach the 200 gallon mark before the 6 month period is up. A saturated carbon block past its service life stops reducing chlorine, lead, and VOCs effectively and may begin releasing previously captured contaminants back into the water. Replacing on schedule rather than waiting for taste or flow changes maintains consistent filtration performance through the full service life.
How to Install the Frigidaire FPPWFU01 PurePour PWF-1 Water Filter
- Locate the filter housing inside the Frigidaire refrigerator fresh food compartment
- Twist the old filter counterclockwise until it releases from the housing
- Pull the old FPPWFU01 filter straight out
- Align the new filter with the housing inlet and insert it firmly
- Twist clockwise until it locks securely into position
- Run 2 to 3 gallons of water through the dispenser before drinking
- Reset the filter indicator light per the Frigidaire refrigerator user guide

FAQs
Where can I buy the Frigidaire FPPWFU01 PurePour PWF-1 water filter?
You can order the Frigidaire FPPWFU01 directly from the shop link on this page. Confirm the part number against your existing filter label before completing your purchase to avoid ordering the wrong filter for your model.
Is the Frigidaire FPPWFU01 the same as the WF3CB water filter?
No. The FPPWFU01 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 for your specific model before ordering.
Is the FPPWFU01 the same as the PurePour PWF-1 filter?
Yes. FPPWFU01 and PurePour PWF-1 refer to the same filter. PWF-1 is the filter technology name while FPPWFU01 is the part number used in product listings and compatibility references. Either code can be used to confirm the correct replacement for your Frigidaire refrigerator.
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 to verify whether the FPPWFU01 covers both functions on your unit.
Why is my water flow slow after installing a new FPPWFU01 filter?
Slow flow immediately after installation is usually caused by air trapped in the filter or housing during the swap. Running 2 to 3 gallons through the dispenser clears trapped air and carbon fines and typically restores normal flow. If flow remains restricted after flushing, check that the filter is fully locked and that household water pressure falls within the 30 to 120 PSI operating range.
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 in your Frigidaire refrigerator, a certified replacement rated for the FPPWFU01 housing is the more reliable choice.
