Frigidaire PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II vs PAULTRA Pure Air Ultra

This is the most important section if you are unsure which Frigidaire refrigerator air filter to order.

How do I check my current air 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 on the rear wall. Remove the existing filter and check the label before ordering to avoid a mismatch.

What happens if I order the wrong air filter?

An incorrectly ordered filter will not seat properly in the housing and will not deliver effective air filtration. In some cases it may appear to fit but leave gaps at the housing connection that allow unfiltered air to bypass the filter entirely. Always order by part number rather than by appearance or size.

How Often Should You Buy a Replacement Frigidaire PAULTRA2 Air Filter?

Order a fresh PAULTRA2 every 6 months regardless of usage level. Unlike water filters that track gallon capacity, air filters reach adsorption capacity based on time and exposure rather than measurable throughput. Waiting for noticeable odors before buying a replacement means the filter has already been operating past its effective service life for some time. Ordering on the 6 month schedule maintains a consistently fresh refrigerator environment year round.

How to Install the Frigidaire PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II Air Filter

1. Locate the air filter housing inside the Frigidaire refrigerator fresh food compartment, typically on the rear wall
2. Press the release tab to disengage the old PAULTRA2 filter from the housing slot
3. Pull the old filter straight out
4. Remove the new PAULTRA2 filter from its packaging
5. Push the new filter firmly into the housing until it clicks securely into place
6. No flushing or water line reset is required after installation
7. Note the installation date and schedule your next order at the 6 month mark

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy the Frigidaire PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II air filter?

You can order the Frigidaire PAULTRA2 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 PAULTRA2 the same as the PAULTRA Pure Air Ultra filter?

No. The PAULTRA2 and PAULTRA are separate part numbers with different housing designs built for different Frigidaire refrigerator model generations. The PAULTRA2 is the updated version designed for newer compatible models while the PAULTRA covers earlier generation models. They are not interchangeable.

Is the PAULTRA2 the same as 242047805 or EAFCBF?

Yes. 242047805 and EAFCBF are alternative part numbers that refer to the same PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II filter format. If your refrigerator currently shows either of those codes, the PAULTRA2 is the correct replacement to order.

Does replacing the PAULTRA2 air filter on schedule actually make a difference to food freshness?

Yes. A fresh activated carbon filter continuously reduces ethylene gas inside the refrigerator compartment. Produce stored near a fresh filter spoils more slowly because ethylene buildup is being actively reduced rather than allowed to accumulate. Replacing on the 6 month schedule maintains this benefit consistently.

My Frigidaire refrigerator still smells after replacing the PAULTRA2 — what should I check?

The PAULTRA2 reduces airborne odor compounds but does not remove odors embedded in refrigerator surfaces or food containers. Wipe down interior surfaces, remove any spoiled food, and allow 24 to 48 hours for the new filter to reach full adsorption capacity before concluding there is an issue.

How do I find my Frigidaire refrigerator model number to confirm compatibility before I buy?

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.
