GE GNE29GSKJSS refrigerator water filter: RPWFE
GE’s exact model diagram lists RPWFE at item 127 and distinct bypass plug WR17X23645 at item 128, with WR01X29059 as the bypass-plug replacement. GE’s exact GNE29GSKJSS Case Parts diagram lists RPWFE as item 127 and separately lists bypass plug WR17X23645 at item 128, replaced by WR01X29059. GE’s RPWFE product information describes it as a filter for select GE-family refrigerators and gives its capacity, interval, and water-pressure limits. This entry applies only to the complete model string GNE29GSKJSS; the filter family is not a brand-wide fit rule.
Safety boundary
- Use the exact GNE29GSKJSS Owner’s Manual for filter location, seating, purge, and indicator reset.
- Follow GE’s potable-water and published pressure guidance; the filter does not disinfect unsafe or unknown-quality water.
- If the cartridge fails to lock normally or a leak appears, stop using the dispenser until the fit/leak issue is corrected.
Compatibility requires a direct model listing, explicit supersession, or equivalent manufacturer evidence.
Required identifiers
- Complete refrigerator model from the appliance label: GNE29GSKJSS
- Water-filter cartridge marking: RPWFE
- GE diagram item 127: RPWFE cartridge; item 128: bypass plug, with WR17X23645 replaced by WR01X29059.
Compatibility rules
- GE’s exact model diagram lists RPWFE at item 127 and distinct bypass plug WR17X23645 at item 128, with WR01X29059 as the bypass-plug replacement.
- The bypass plug is a separate part and is not a substitute cartridge.
- The exact GNE29GSKJSS diagram lists RPWFE. GE’s product page limits this filter to select models; this record does not infer fit for nearby GNE29 suffixes or any other GE refrigerator.
Never assume
- The RPWFE fits every Ge refrigerator or another model just because its number looks similar.
- A certification or contaminant-reduction claim covers only the contaminants and conditions listed by the manufacturer; it does not make unsafe or unknown-quality water safe.
- A bypass plug, filter housing, head, or manifold is a different part from the replaceable cartridge.
Exact model-to-cartridge receipt
- Appliance model label: GNE29GSKJSS.
- GE’s exact model diagram lists RPWFE at item 127 and distinct bypass plug WR17X23645 at item 128, with WR01X29059 as the bypass-plug replacement.
- Exact Case Parts diagram position 127 is RPWFE; position 128 is a different water-filter bypass plug.
Cartridge specifications and limits
GE lists a six-month life, 170-gallon rated capacity, and 25–120 psi operating pressure for RPWFE. Its stated contaminant-reduction/certification scope applies only to listed claims and use conditions, not every possible contaminant or water source.
Replacement and fit boundary
Use the GNE29GSKJSS manual for filter-holder location, insertion/removal, priming, and indicator reset. Confirm the cartridge says RPWFE; do not order the diagram’s separate bypass plug as a filter.
