GE WR02X45206 Genuine OEM Refrigerator Water Filter Housing
The GE WR02X45206 is the genuine OEM water filter housing assembly, with tubing, for select GE refrigerators. It holds the water filter and routes incoming water through it on the way to the water dispenser and ice maker. When the housing cracks or clogs, the refrigerator may leak, deliver reduced water flow, or fail to filter properly.
This is the original GE part, not an aftermarket equivalent. It is sold individually. Retailers also list this part as a filter manifold or filter assembly with tubes. Check your model number before ordering to confirm fit.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Turn Off Power And Water First Unplug the refrigerator, shut off the water supply and wear work gloves before you start. Have towels ready, since water will spill when you disconnect the lines. Note where each water line connects, disconnect the lines from the old housing, remove it from its mount, then install the new housing and reconnect all lines securely. Restore the water and power, then check carefully for leaks and normal operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator leaks around the filter. Is it the housing?

Is this the genuine GE part?
Yes. This is the original GE part, not an aftermarket equivalent.
Does it replace WR17X20860?
Yes. WR02X45206 replaces WR17X20860, WR17X22074, WR17X11618, WR17X11028 and WR17X11445. If your old housing shows one of those numbers, this is the current replacement.
