The Frigidaire refrigerator model FFTR2045VB air filter replacement helps reduce fridge odors and supports a cleaner food storage environment.

This helps preserve the natural flavor of fresh produce, dairy products, beverages, and prepared meals while maintaining cleaner air throughout the compartment. The PAULTRA2 filter works continuously with the refrigerator's airflow system to provide dependable freshness.

The replacement air filter for Frigidaire FFTR2045VB offers quick, tool-free installation and reliable odor control performance. Compatible with refrigerators using the PureAir Ultra II filtration system, it helps maintain cleaner air circulation and effective odor absorption throughout the refrigerator compartment.

Key Features

  • Flavor Shield Protection: Traps airborne gases so sensitive items like fresh milk, butter, and open ice trays never absorb leftover smells.
  • High-Capacity Wave Profile: Accordion-style corrugated layout maximizes active surface area for maximum odor retention in a compact frame.
  • 6-Month Lifespan Performance: Delivers continuous, heavy-duty odor elimination for up to 180 days before needing a quick, tool-free swap.

How It Works

The air filter uses activated carbon technology to continuously circulate and purify the air inside your refrigerator — neutralizing odors from foods like fish, leftovers, and produce before they spread or affect flavor.

  • Activated Carbon Core: Uses a dense carbon matrix to adsorb odor molecules and gases on contact.
  • Continuous Air Circulation: Works with your fridge's fan to pull air through the filter repeatedly, 24/7.
  • Adsorption Technology: Traps contaminants at a molecular level rather than just masking smells.
  • Passive Filtration: Requires no maintenance between replacements—install, and it works automatically.

What This Filter Removes

Our certified filtration system targets and removes a wide range of harmful contaminants and odors.

  • Food Odors: Neutralize strong smells from fish, leftovers, onions, and other pungent foods.
  • Ethylene Gas: Absorbs the natural gas emitted by ripening produce that speeds up spoilage
  • Airborne Bacteria: Captures and reduces bacteria circulating in the air inside your fridge.
  • Mold Spores: Filters out mold spores before they can settle and grow on stored food
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Remove harmful chemical compounds that can affect food quality.
  • Cross-Contamination Particles: Prevents flavor and odor transfer between different food items.
