About Electrolux water filters

Electrolux Australia fridge water filters carry Unilux codes such as ULX220 (part number 900404086, cartridge EPTWFU01), and other filters are listed by A-number, for example A13402905. Electrolux says to replace the filter at least every six months or when the fridge's filter indicator comes on. Check your model number or PNC against the compatibility list, as the same filter also fits selected Westinghouse fridges.
