BGHS2634KP1 specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the BGHS2634KP1 in the fresh-food compartment — exact spot varies by dispenser layout — usually a kneeling-height or shoulder-height swap, not a teardown. Mechanically the BGHS2634KP1 uses a twist-in cartridge: the cartridge drops into the keyed seat and locks with a short quarter turn.
Owners of the BGHS2634KP1 report the same friction points: the change light ignores the new cartridge until you reset it, and the first removal always takes more muscle than the manual implies. Whatever the badge on the door says, the parts reality is the ULTRAWF line — which is why fit listings key on chassis rather than door style. Finish letter sets like P1 never alter the bay; the ULTRAWF line fits the whole set.
Reading the BGHS2634KP1 model code — what the digits tell you
The 26 cu ft in the code is the size class; households that size move enough water that the six-month interval is worth honoring. Filter logic on this chassis: every variant of this chassis locks onto the ULTRAWF line — that is the whole parts story.
Swap it in 5 minutes
- Twist the old cartridge a quarter turn counterclockwise and pull it straight down — keep a towel in reach for the dribble.
- Fill the new cartridge with cold tap water so the chamber is not fighting an air pocket.
- Offer the new cartridge to the bay, push up, and twist a quarter turn clockwise until the stop catches.
- Run two gallons through the dispenser to flush carbon fines, then hold the filter-reset control until the status light clears.

BGHS2634KP1 filter questions
Frigidaire BGHS2634KP1: how do I clear the change-filter light?
Press and hold the reset control until the light clears (a few seconds), with the new cartridge already seated — the BGHS2634KP1 owner’s manual lists the button location for your control panel.
Running the BGHS2634KP1 with an empty filter bay — does it need a cap?
The bay self-seals: with no cartridge the BGHS2634KP1 still dispenses, just unfiltered. No bypass plug exists for this line.
Are off-brand filters safe for a Frigidaire refrigerator?
Certified aftermarket cartridges are built to the same NSF test standards as the OEM part, and federal warranty law (Magnuson-Moss) protects your coverage when you use them.
Why is the OEM ULTRAWF cartridge so much more expensive?
Part of the OEM price is the badge and the distribution chain. Certified alternatives meet the same test standards at a lower unit price, especially in multi-packs.
How often should I replace the filter in my BGHS2634KP1?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the ULTRAWF class cartridges all share that service interval.
Do I need to turn off the water supply to change it?
No — the bay is designed for a live swap. Expect a small dribble, keep a towel in reach, and flush a couple of gallons through the new cartridge before the first glass.
