Part Numbers and Labels

A different filter label is one clue, not proof: collect machine model/serial, old part number and filter/housing photos before ordering.

A different label is not proof of a wrong filter. Check the orderable part number, machine identity evidence, and documented supersession before ordering.

A changed label is not automatically a wrong filter. Compare old part number, machine serial data, housing photos and documented supersession before ordering.

A practical evidence guide for comparing old and replacement filter labels, orderable part numbers, casting marks, batch codes and documented supersessions before ordering.

Stop and verify the old part number, machine serial and documented supersession before accepting a different replacement filter label.

How to separate orderable part number, packaging SKU, casting mark, batch code and documented supersession when filter labels differ.

A different label may be a packaging SKU, batch code or documented supersession, but it is not proof of fitment. Use serial number, old part number and catalogue evidence before ordering.

A short evidence-based check for filter part numbers when the replacement label differs from the removed filter, covering catalogue numbers, supersession and the records to request before ordering.

A different label is not automatically a reject. Check the orderable part number against the machine serial number and request a documented supersession before accepting the replacement.

Different label text is not enough to reject a filter, but it is also not proof of interchangeability. Check the orderable part number, documented supersession and machine evidence before ordering.
