Product review (3 stars): Workaround for refrigerators requiring RPWFE filter (RFID chip)
I have a GE PFE28RSHE... refrigerator that requires the RPWFE filter with RFID chip.  As noted (now) in the description for this product, these filters do not include the RFID chip and are not suitable as a direct replacement for the RPWFE filter.  They do, however, work if you REMOVE the RFID chip from the OEM GE filter and install it in the EXACT same place on this filter (I suggest marking it with a sharpie) so you get it in the right spot.

The only issue is the refrigerator will not recognize that the filter has been replaced and will still indicate that the filter is expired by "X" number of days/weeks/months.  If you can live with that (I can) you can continue to use these generic filters and just keep moving the OEM chip from filter to filter.  To me, it is a small price to pay instead of paying double the price for GE's OEM filters.  THERE IS NO GOOD REASON FOR GE TO REQUIRE THE RFID CHIP other than to force you to buy their replacement filters, and I refuse to support this business practice -- it is a money grab, pure and simple.  The refrigerator can monitor filter usage and detect leaks (and it does) without the use of the chip.  See further discussion of this issue that I had (including a possible workaround that might allow the expiration notice to be cleared with the purchase of only one OEM filter) at [...]

3-Star rating is because when I first purchased these filters about a year ago the description said they were a suitable replacement for RPWF AND RPWFE filters, which is obviously incorrect and has since been changed.  Mechanically they fit and work fine and in my opinion filter the water just as well as GE's overpriced filters do (it's really only activated carbon, after all), the only issue is the lack of RFID chip.  Hopefully WaterSentinel is working on something that includes an RFID-chip to save us the trouble of moving the chip from filter-to-filter each time...
