Keep your refrigerator odor-free and fresh with this Carbon-Activated Air Filter Refill Kit (part number SCPUREAIR2PK). Designed for use in many fridge and freezer units by Frigidaire, Electrolux and other affiliated brands, the filter uses activated carbon to capture and neutralize odors inside the appliance compartment. Unlike baking-soda solutions, this offers a compact, efficient solution that simply attaches inside the fresh-food section and lasts up to six months. frigidaire.com+2amazon.com+2
Please check with your maintenance technician (or refer to your appliance manual) to confirm this part matches your refrigerator model before ordering.
Features & Benefits
-
Activated carbon media: proven to trap and reduce unwanted food and household odors much more effectively than baking soda alternatives. amazon.com+1
-
Universal fit (2-pack): designed to fit a broad range of refrigerator models and allow for six-month plus usage per filter. electrolux.com+1
-

-
Maintains fresh-food quality: when the inside air remains clean and free of strong odors, the taste and appearance of stored food can be better preserved.
-
Cost-effective maintenance: a small investment for improved refrigerator environment; helps avoid lingering smells that can lead to food waste.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
You notice persistent or strong odors inside the refrigerator or freezer even when stored items have been removed or cleaned.
-
Food absorbs off-smells (e.g., strong onion/garlic scents lingering across the compartment).
-
The filter looks darkened, discolored or shows signs of usage beyond six months.
-
The refrigerator door or interior feels stale or “musty” when opened.
If you observe any of these symptoms, consult your maintenance technician to confirm it’s the air-filter needing replacement—as opposed to another cause like a spoiled spill, gasket leak, or ventilation blockage.

Compatibility Notes
-
Even though the filter is marketed as “universal”, you must verify the location in your refrigerator for an air-filter device and check that the slot dimension and mounting method match your unit.
-
If your fridge has a built-in branded air filter (e.g., “PureSource Ultra” or “PureAir Ultra II”), ensure that the older filter slot can accept this kit. Some older or premium models may use proprietary cartridges with different sizing.
-
Because odors can also be caused by door-seal leaks, failed gasket, or spill residue, changing the filter alone may not resolve all odor issues. A qualified technician should inspect if the door seal or condenser coil is contributing to the problem.
-
To maintain optimal performance, it’s recommended to replace the filter every 6 months (or sooner if heavy use or strong odors persist).
-
After installing a new filter, allow the appliance to run for a few hours and discard any standing “initial” odor-absorbed air; the filter will condition the air over time.
