Quick take
Use GE XWFE or a compatible cartridge explicitly listed for XWFE and GSS25GYPFS. GE rates XWFE for about six months or 170 gallons.
Correct filter mapping
GE’s parts page for GSS25GYPFS lists XWFE as the refrigerator-water-filter accessory, and the model specifications identify GE Water Filtration with the XWFE filter.
OEM baseline
GE XWFE gives the simplest fit decision and a manufacturer-backed performance baseline.
Compatible filters
Aftermarket XWFE replacements can cost less, but some GE refrigerators use electronic filter recognition, so exact compatibility matters.
Replacement economics
At a six-month-style schedule, comparing reputable replacement-filter retailers can materially lower annual cost.
