Charcoal Filter-Recirculating Installations Only The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order filter no. WB02X10700. Replacement filters can be ordered from your GE supplier.

The filter will then slip out of the retaining tabs on the back. To replace: Slip the back edge of the filter into the retaining tabs and push the front edge up until it snaps into place.
