Frigidaire WF2CB Refrigerator Water Filter
The short answer on the WF2CB
The WF2CB is the puresource 2 cartridge for frigidaire refrigerators — it installs with no chip handshake. It has no NSF claim stated in our evidence file. WF2CB replaces: Supersedes WFCB.
Verified fit: 2,693 refrigerator models with on-site fit pages. Install time: 5 minutes, no tools. This page is part-number specific — for the model-page view (where the filter lives on your exact fridge), follow any link in the compatible-models table below. Push-in at the top of the fresh-food compartment; never force a round slot with a square cartridge.
WF2CB vs WFCB vs ULTRAWF vs EPTWFU01 — which cartridge does your fridge take?
| Part | Interface era | RFID chip | NSF claims | Replacement path |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WFCB | PureSource | No chip | Not stated in our evidence file | Older round cartridge |
| WF2CB | PureSource 2 | No chip | Not stated in our evidence file | Supersedes WFCB |
| ULTRAWF | PureSource Ultra | No chip | 42+53+401 | Distinct slot — not a WF2CB substitute |
| EPTWFU01 | PureSource Ultra II | No chip | Not stated in our evidence file | Newer Ultra bay |
Certification lines above are traced to our verified evidence file (part-number × version facts); third-party compatibles usually carry less.
What an WF2CB should cost
We do not print an OEM list price for the WF2CB — our price file has no captured listing for it, and a guessed anchor is worse than none. Check the manufacturer's own parts store for the genuine price; third-party compatibles cluster at $8–15 per cartridge (mostly NSF/ANSI 42 only) with a premium 42+53 tier above them.

Swap it in 5 minutes
- Pull the old cartridge straight out of the header — expect a small spill, not a flood.
- Align the new cartridge with the keyed slot; it only goes in one orientation.
- Push the cartridge home until the retention latch clicks.
- Run 1–2 gallons through the dispenser to flush carbon fines, then hold the filter-reset control until the status light clears.
What the WF2CB is actually certified to remove
No NSF claim stated in our evidence file. The honest framing: the two tiers that matter in compatibles are 42-only (taste, chlorine, sediment) and 42+53 (adds tested lead and cyst reduction). Claims are part-number × version facts — NSF listings update with annual re-tests, so re-check the certified-product database before relying on a claim. PFOA/PFOS reduction claims live under NSF/ANSI 53 (P473 protocol), not under 401 — a listing that says otherwise is wrong.
What does the WF2CB replace?
Replacement path: Supersedes WFCB. Within a family, buying the newer part number is always the safe choice — older cartridges often physically fit newer bays but cause no-water or error conditions.
Does the WF2CB water filter have an RFID chip?
None. Only GE's RPWFE line carries an authentication chip; no other mainstream refrigerator cartridge on this site verifies electronically.
How hard is it to install a WF2CB?
A 5 minutes, no-tools job: twist or push the old cartridge out, seat the new one, flush 1–2 gallons to clear carbon fines, then hold the filter reset until the light clears.
Which certification should I look for in a compatible WF2CB?
No NSF claim stated in our evidence file. Third-party compatibles split into two tiers: NSF/ANSI 42 only (taste, chlorine, sediment) and 42 + 53 (adds tested lead and cyst reduction). If a listing does not name the standard, assume 42 only.
