Water Filter for the Crosley CFD28WIS0 (ULTRAWF)

CFD28WIS0 specifics — where the filter actually lives

On the CFD28WIS0, the cartridge upper fresh-food wall in most bottom-freezer builds, a deliberate placement that keeps the swap away from the door seals and drawer rails. This is a twist-style bay, the friendlier design: half a turn of wrist work in each direction is the whole procedure; everything else is towel management.

Field notes: run the first gallon or two through a fresh cartridge before drinking — carbon fines are normal — and reset the indicator so the countdown matches reality. The badge reads CFD28WIS0, but the chassis reads CFD: generally a bottom-freezer machine, and the filter bay inherits the geometry that implies — treat as typical, not absolute. Finish letter sets like S0 never alter the bay; the ULTRAWF line fits the whole set.

CFD vs FFUS — what the prefix tells you

The CFD prefix sits next to FFUS in the catalog and the split is cabinet mission: Chassis first: bottom-freezer (CFD) versus French-door (FFUS). The shared cartridge line covers both without adaptation. capacity 28 cu ft: a mid-to-full-size cabinet whose dispenser traffic sets the realistic change cadence.

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.
