GE SmartWater MXRC Refrigerator Water Filter Cartridge

The GE SmartWater MXRC Cartridge fits GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore refrigerators with a round metal canister filter, typically mounted inside the refrigerator at the rear of the compartment - above the top shelf.

The GE MXRC Filter replaces these older filter part numbers: GE FXRC, FXRT, WR97X10006 Hotpoint HXRT Sears / Kenmore 9905, 469905, 46-9905, 9905P, 04609905000 Note: If you have a Kenmore refrigerator, and your fridge model number starts with 363, then your refrigerator was made by GE, and you need a GE MXRC filter (the one on this page).

These older filters (all made by GE) used the marketing slogan "Water by Culligan" while the newer MXRC filter goes by the name "GE SmartWater" - the filters are identical, the only difference is the name.

Looking for a better filter? If you buy a GE filter adapter, you can upgrade from any of the filters listed above to the GE MWF filter. The MWF filter removes more impurities from the water, and costs $2 less per filter. So, what's the catch? The adapter costs $7.99, but it's reusable so you'll only need to buy one. The MWF filter plus adapter is about an inch taller than the older style metal filters, so if your top shelf is set high in the fridge, you may want to stick with the MXRC filter.

The MXRC Filter removes the following impurities from your drinking water:

• Lead
• Cysts
• Chlorine
• Turbidity
• Particulates (Class I)

As with all built-in refrigerator water filters, the MXRC does not remove Fluoride

The MXRC cartridge is tested and certified by NSF International to meet or exceed NSF/ANSI Standards 42 & 53

The SmartWater Filter MXRC should be replaced every 6 months or when the "change filter" light comes on - whichever comes first.

Installing your new filter:

1. Twist the old filter a half-turn counterclockwise
2. Pull the filter straight down and discard (don't worry, the water will shut off automatically)
3. Fill the new filter with water (you can use the cold water faucet on your kitchen sink)
4. Push the new filter up into the fridge until it stops
5. Twist the filter a half-turn clockwise
6. Reset your "change filter" light (if your fridge has one)

Resetting your "change filter" light:

• Press and hold the reset water filter button on the dispenser for 3 seconds.

There's nothing in the MXRC filter that can go bad, so it has No Expiration Date... It can live on your shelf for years.

For that reason, it makes sense to Buy In Bulk... You pay less money per filter, and we pay for shipping!

"Should I buy the MXRC or the MWF plus Adapter?"

If you've made it this far, then you know that the MXRC is a direct replacement for the older metal canister style filters. If you've got one of those older filters, and you're happy with your water quality, then go ahead and buy an MXRC - it's a perfectly good, basic water filter.

On the other hand... Most customers prefer to switch to the newer GE MWF filter and filter adapter because it's less expensive and it filters a lot more impurities from the water. The only downside is that the MWF plus adapter is about an inch taller than the older metal canister filters, so if your top shelf is set really high in the fridge, you may want to stick with the MXRC filter.
