Water Filter for the GE HSK29MGMHCCC (MWF)

HSK29MGMHCCC specifics — where the filter actually lives

Finding the bay is the easy part — this chassis puts it in the fresh-food compartment — exact spot varies by dispenser layout, the same estate every refrigerator in this family uses. This is a twist-style bay, the friendlier design: release is counterclockwise, seating is clockwise, and the stops are firm enough that you cannot overshoot.

Two quirks worth knowing before you order: the line is still live when you open the bay, so keep a towel in reach, and expect the filter-status light to need a reset before it believes the new cartridge. Whatever the badge on the door says, the parts reality is the HSK29MGMHCCC shares its water path with the whole MWF generation — the cartridge is the common denominator, not the door count. Finish letter sets like CC never alter the bay; the MWF line fits the whole set.

Reading the HSK29MGMHCCC model code — what the digits tell you

Capacity check: the 29 cu ft in the code is the box size, and bigger boxes push more water through the same cartridge between swaps. Cross-checking by chassis pays off here: every variant of this chassis locks onto the MWF 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.
