The Frigidaire PAULTRA2 Pure Air Ultra II refrigerator air filter helps keep your refrigerator smelling fresh and your food tasting the way it should. Using advanced activated carbon technology, this genuine replacement air filter actively removes unwanted odors from the refrigerator compartment, helping create a cleaner storage environment for fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and leftovers.

The highly effective carbon filtration media helps capture and neutralize odor-causing molecules from foods such as onions, garlic, fish, and other strong-smelling ingredients. By reducing odor transfer between foods, the PAULTRA2 helps preserve the natural flavor of your groceries while keeping the refrigerator interior fresh.

Designed for quick, tool-free installation, the Frigidaire PureAir Ultra II air filter fits easily into the designated air filter housing found in compatible refrigerators. For optimal odor control and refrigerator performance, replace the filter every 6 months or when your refrigerator's air filter indicator light turns on.

  • Exact Factory Track Fit: Custom 3.8" wave design slides smoothly into OEM tracks without rattling or jamming.
  • True Activated Carbon Core: Uses premium porous carbon material to chemically bind and neutralize harsh odors.
  • Tool-Free Replacement: Snaps directly into overhead or back-wall housings in seconds.

Key Features

  • Active Carbon Adsorption: Traps and neutralizes strong food odors at a molecular level inside premium carbon micro-pores, rather than simply masking them with artificial scents.
  • 15x Faster Than Baking Soda: Positions directly inside the refrigerator's active forced-air fan loop to continuously scrub the environment, vastly outperforming passive open-box alternatives.
  • Flavor Shield Protection: Safely captures airborne sulfur and ethylene gases so delicate items like open milk, butter, and ice cubes never absorb neighboring food flavors.
  • Corrugated Wave Structure: Engineered with a distinct accordion-style profile that maximizes active surface area and odor capacity while maintaining a compact, space-saving footprint.
  • Genuine OEM Precision Fit: Built to factory specs to slide perfectly into built-in overhead or sidewall channels, preventing un-scrubbed air from bypassing the edges of the filter frame.
  • Continuous 6-Month Lifespan: Delivers reliable, heavy-duty odor extraction for up to 180 days before triggering the refrigerator control panel's automatic replacement reminder light.

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.

  • Cross-Contamination Particles: Prevents flavor and odor transfer between different food items.

When to Replace Your Refrigerator Air Filter

Every 6 Months

Activated carbon saturates over time. Replacing every 6 months ensures continuous odor and gas adsorption — even if the filter looks clean.

Fridge control panel

Filter Alert Light

When your fridge's air filter indicator turns red or begins flashing, replace immediately. The sensor tracks usage and airflow performance automatically.

Persistent Fridge Odors

Persistent Fridge Odors

If odors linger inside a clean fridge, your air filter is exhausted. Don't wait for the indicator — trust your nose and replace it promptly.

Q: What happens if I don't replace the refrigerator air filter?
A: An expired air filter may lose its ability to control odors effectively, allowing smells from strong foods to spread throughout the refrigerator and affect the taste of other stored items.

A: Yes. The PureAir Ultra II air filter is designed to remove refrigerator odors more effectively and faster than a standard box of baking soda by actively filtering the air circulating inside the refrigerator.
