Conditions in the source record

The refrigerator is confirmed to use XWF.
The refrigerator requires XWFE interaction with its controls.

GE describes an RFID sensor in XWFE that communicates with compatible refrigerator controls. A cartridge that physically fits the housing may still fail the electronic check.
