Original water filter IntensiveClear 2.0 KWF 2000 with activated carbon for Miele Miele MasterCool refrigerator 11480330

The Miele IntensiveClear 2.0 KWF 2000 water filter, article number 11480330, is an original accessory that filters suspended particles, odors and tastes from tap water using activated carbon. Suitable for MasterCool refrigerators of the F 2xx2, KF 2xx2 and KFMC 3xxx series. The activated carbon ensures a neutral taste of drinking water and ice – straight from the refrigerator.

Your refrigerator is ready to deliver restaurant-quality water – only the right filter separates you. If your ice comes out with an off-flavor or smell, the cause is almost always an old or non-genuine filter. Check that your model is compatible before ordering – see the model chart below.

What does the activated carbon in KWF 2000 do to your water?

The activated carbon acts as a molecular sponge: it traps chlorine compounds, organic odors, and tiny sediment particles from tap water. The result is water that reaches the device that is clean, neutral in taste and odor – and also helps protect the internal ice and water faucet mechanisms from sediment buildup.

In the experience of our technicians, customers who replace a non-original filter with an original KWF 2000 report an immediate improvement in the taste of the ice – on the day of replacement. Miele's activated carbon is precisely calibrated to absorb the right volume at the right time in contact with the water.

The replacement is simple and requires no tools – most customers complete it within 5 minutes, without the need for a technician.

Replacement steps:

2. Turn the old filter counterclockwise and pull it out.
3. Insert the new KWF 2000 and turn clockwise until it locks.
4. Turn on the water tap for about 3 liters to rinse the activated charcoal.
5. Reset the filter replacement reminder on the refrigerator interface

⚠️ Please note: On KFMC models, the water line is automatically disconnected when replacing. There is no need to disconnect the water reservoir manually.

💡 Tip from the experts

Miele recommends replacing the KWF 2000 every six months, regardless of the amount of water it uses. The activated carbon becomes saturated and no longer filters effectively, even if the filter looks “clean” from the outside.

In our experience, customers who maintain regular replacements report fewer ice mailer failures and a longer lifespan for the internal faucet mechanism. The sediment that a worn filter doesn't trap builds up on the valves and can cause unexpected ice caps - a treatment that costs tens of times more than the price of the filter.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the KWF 2000 water filter last?

Miele recommends replacing the KWF 2000 every six months. This period is determined by the activated carbon's ability to filter effectively, not just the amount of water. A properly operated MasterCool refrigerator will display a reminder on the interface before the filter expires.

Is a non-original filter as effective as the original KWF 2000?

Not necessarily. A non-genuine filter may not fit the outlet exactly and often does not have the NSF certifications that the original part has. In our experience, complaints about ice odor after filter replacement almost always come after using a non-approved replacement part.

What happens if the filter is not replaced on time?

Filtration performance gradually decreases, and off-flavors and odors may appear in the water and ice. In addition, saturated activated carbon may re-release particles it has absorbed. Miele will display a reminder in the interface, which is recommended not to be ignored.
