DGHS2634KP1 specifics — where the filter actually lives
The DGHS2634KP1 carries its water filter inside the fresh-food cavity, position varying with dispenser spec, the same estate every refrigerator in this family uses. Mechanically it is a quarter-turn twist-in seat: the ears on the cartridge neck are the guide — line them up, lift into the seat, and quarter-turn home.
Owners of the DGHS2634KP1 report the same friction points: flush before the first glass — new carbon beds shed fines for the first gallon or so, which is cosmetic, not contamination. 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. P1 is finish coding: handles, colors, panel options — none of it reaches the filter bay.
Reading the DGHS2634KP1 model code — what the digits tell you
Capacity 26 cubic feet: a mid-to-full-size cabinet whose dispenser traffic sets the realistic change cadence. Order by cartridge, not by cabinet: fit charts key on the ULTRAWF cartridge family rather than the door configuration, so trim differences never change the order.
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.

DGHS2634KP1 filter questions
Filter light reset on the Frigidaire DGHS2634KP1 — how?
With the new cartridge seated, press and hold the filter reset until the light clears — panel placement differs, so the DGHS2634KP1 manual’s filter section has the exact control for your trim.
DGHS2634KP1 with no water filter installed — safe, or does it need a bypass?
No — the ULTRAWF bay seals on the cartridge itself, so removing it just means unfiltered water until the next change, not a leak.
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 DGHS2634KP1?
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.
