Water Filter for the Profile PFSF2MIYGWW (MWF)

PFSF2MIYGWW specifics — where the filter actually lives

Where the filter actually lives: high on the fresh-food side in most French-door layouts — upper back or left wall, the same estate every Profile French-door refrigerator in this family uses. The seat is a twist-in design — the cartridge drops into the keyed seat and locks with a short quarter turn.

Field notes: a stubborn first twist when the old o-ring has set, and a change-filter light that will not clear itself until you hold the reset. The PFS in PFSF2MIYGWW is doing real work: it usually marks a Profile French-door layout, which means shared cartridge economics — one media family, dozens of cabinet variants, all drinking from the same parts line. Trim code WW: cosmetic variants of one chassis, one cartridge family.

PFS vs PSK — what the prefix tells you

The catalog pairs PFS with PSK, and the split matters at order time: Profile French-door on the PFS side, Profile side-by-side on the PSK side — the parts catalog runs the same cartridge across both. The constant across every trim of this machine is the cartridge line — the PFSF2MIYGWW shares its water path with the whole MWF generation — the cartridge is the common denominator, not the door count.

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.
