Refrigerator Compatibility
The Frigidaire WF3CB fits select refrigerators designed for the PureSource 3 filtration system. It is commonly used in compatible Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerators with the water-filter housing located toward the back upper-right section of the fresh-food compartment.
Check compatibility using:
