PSK27NHWHCCC specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the PSK27NHWHCCC low on the fresh-food side or behind the base grille in most side-by-side layouts, a spot that survives trim changes across the PSK run. Mechanically it is a quarter-turn twist-in seat: half a turn of wrist work in each direction is the whole procedure; everything else is towel management.
Two quirks worth knowing before you order: 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 PSK prefix is the tell: PSK typically codes for Profile side-by-side machines in this catalog, and in that format the water path is long enough that a neglected cartridge shows up as flow drop before it shows up as taste. Trim code CC: cosmetic variants of one chassis, one cartridge family.
PSK vs PFS — what the prefix tells you
The catalog pairs PSK with PFS, and the split matters at order time: Ordering by prefix works because PSK means Profile side-by-side and PFS means Profile French-door in this catalog — and the cartridge pool overlaps both. the 27 cu ft in the code is the size class; households that size move enough water that the six-month interval is worth honoring.
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.

PSK27NHWHCCC filter questions
Reset procedure for the change-filter alert on the PSK27NHWHCCC?
Hold the filter-reset control a few seconds after seating the new cartridge; placements vary by control panel, and the PSK27NHWHCCC manual’s filter-status page has the exact spot.
Is a bypass plug required for the PSK27NHWHCCC when the cartridge is removed?
No — the MWF 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 GE 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 MWF 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 PSK27NHWHCCC?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the MWF 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.
