Description of Frigidaire WF2CB PureSource2 Filtration System

Enjoy fresh tasting water right from the fridge and directly in your glass with the PureSource 2 water filter. Designed to remove harmful contaminants giving you peace of mind with every glass. The PureSource 2 WF2CB is designed with a carbon-based filter to improve your water by removing the odor and taste of chlorine for smoother drinking, making it easy to keep the whole family hydrated. Take a sip and relax as you let your filter get to work reducing impurities found in common tap water such as lead, nitrates, pesticides, and mercury for worry free water at home. The WF2CB water filter is easy to install. Push the release button to remove the old filter. Slide the new filter in until it clicks into place. Run water through the new filter for 3 minutes to prime it. Discard the water or use it to water plants. Your refrigerator’s reminder light does not turn off automatically. Most reminder lights are reset by pressing and holding the water filter button on the dispenser control for 3 seconds. When the display changes from red to green, the status has been reset.

I received a defective unit

I have replaced my fridge water filter myself for the past few years and this is the first time I have received a defective item. After removing the old filter and installing a new one, water did not flow from the dispenser. I put the old one back in and the flow returned. Upon inspecting the new filter (see photo), I noticed that one of the inlets was missing a plastic tab. It looks like this tab is needed to start the water flow. My guess is that this particular item was returned by a…

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Can I do

A welcome replacement for me

I was waiting for a prescription for new glasses so I did NOT read the instructions when I got them. My problem - I know better, I'm so stupid - and I couldn't remember what I did last because it's been so long! So I didn't drink enough water before the tasting and took a sip of chlorine-flavored water. After I let it run and poured water (according to the instructions) for about 3 minutes, the taste was significantly better. The taste is still a bit different than it used to be, so I only gave

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Very expensive

Bought before and it was ok but just got a replacement and after one run.

Bought previously and it was fine but just replaced and after running about 10 gallons the water was snow white compared to clean tap water. Not sure if it's safe but very frustrating I seem to have to use half the life of the filters just to fill them up. After some research I found that the o-rings were covered in white grease that got into the water. . I took the o-rings off, rinsed and wiped them down and ran some more to clear the water. You don't have to do this, but if anyone sees white…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Repair

Read This Review Before You Buy

I felt compelled to write a review on this product so that no one else would have to experience the hassle that I was experiencing. I have an old refrigerator that is about 10 years old. I bought a water filter and like many other reviewers reported that the water filter spontaneously ejects water and splashes into the fridge. I contacted the manufacturer about this issue and they initially accused me of not buying the filter directly from the manufacturer. So I bought directly from the…

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • boring packaging

New design not working (edited)

I have had a Frigidaire fridge for 8 years and had to order my 16th filter change. The previous devices have fitted and worked perfectly, but the manufacturer has changed something in the design that does not allow the filter to snap into place. It seems that it popped up completely, but the first time you press the water button, the filter flies out of the hole, splashing water everywhere. Typical cheap sea stuff! Now my water dispenser and ice maker are not working. I have photos that clearly

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Clarity

CHANGE OF DESIGN AT CUSTOMER EXPENSES!

THIS FILTER IS EXPANDED, FRIGIDAIRE KNOWS BUT HAHAHA. YOU BEAR THE COSTS! The first one I ordered flew out while filling up, fell to the ground and crashed. Revain's customer service was great and they replaced it. But when the second device also catapulted several times while filling up, I connected to the internet to do a little research and then called Frigidaire! When I first called they didn't admit that the reason for my problem was their design change. But when I told the company rep…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • old

Says it fits your model but it doesn't!

I wish we could give this filter a ZERO star because that's what this filter gets! We recently bought a new stainless steel model that is similar to our old Frigidaire fridge. I ordered a new filter for our new fridge using the model number to make sure I got the right filter. The newly installed filter seemed to work fine for a few weeks, but one day I noticed there was no new ice left in the fridge and the water stopped working. This usually happens when it's time to replace the old filter…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • unreliable

Over the years I have bought 14 of these filters for our Electrolux fridge. 12 of those purchases were from Revain, 2 from Lowe's. It used to be a great filter. When the time came I replaced it with a new one, ran 2 gallons of water through it and all was fine. This is no longer the case. My last filter arrived last week, so one night I did my usual bedtime routine. When I got back from work the next day, I poured myself a glass of water and before I'd even drunk it, I could smell gum coming…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • There are cons

This filter sends you to a psychiatric hospital.

My husband ordered this filter, he obviously did not read the previous reviews. We had a heck of a lot of time to get this thing up and running. It looks exactly like the old one we had in the fridge and we assumed it was from Frigidaire as the Frigidaire salesman says. We get it, put it in the fridge, but it doesn't hold, it flies out of the holder. I assumed we had too much water pressure and lowered it, but we still had the same problem. So to pour water you had to hold the filter in place…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I will write later
