CFD27WIPB2 specifics — where the filter actually lives
The CFD27WIPB2 carries its water filter in the top third of the fresh-food compartment in most bottom-freezer builds, the same estate every bottom-freezer refrigerator in this family uses. Mechanically it is a quarter-turn twist-in seat: one twist to release, one to lock; between them you are holding the entire service procedure.
Owners of the CFD27WIPB2 report the same friction points: keep a folded towel under the bay before you open it; the line holds a cup of water even with the valve shut. Prefix literacy pays here: it usually places the machine in the bottom-freezer family, a strong hint at the cartridge line, the reset behavior, and the service documentation worth consulting. Trailing letters like B2 denote trim and finish: stainless, panel-ready, handle variants. The water path is identical across them.
CFD vs FFUS — what the prefix tells you
Two prefixes, two missions: bottom-freezer on the CFD side, French-door on the FFUS side — the parts catalog runs the same cartridge across both. The two digits after the letters are the cabinet size: this is a 27 cubic feet refrigerator, which sets how much dispenser work the cartridge does between changes.
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.
What this filter takes out of your water
| What it targets | Standard that covers it |
|---|---|
| Chlorine taste & odor | NSF/ANSI 42 — aesthetic effects |
| Particulates, Class I | NSF/ANSI 42 — fine sediment |

| PFOA & PFOS | NSF/ANSI 53 (P473) — varies by cartridge |
Coverage above lists what the standard addresses, not a performance claim for any specific cartridge — removal claims vary by certificate, so check the NSF listing for the exact part number you are buying.
Crosley CFD27WIPB2: how do I clear the change-filter light?
Hold the filter-reset control a few seconds after seating the new cartridge; placements vary by control panel, and the CFD27WIPB2 manual’s filter-status page has the exact spot.
Does the Crosley CFD27WIPB2 need a bypass plug when the filter is out?
You can, but unfiltered — the ULTRAWF bay needs no bypass plug; it just passes water through without filtering while the cartridge is out.
Are off-brand filters safe for a Crosley 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 CFD27WIPB2?
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.
