Product review (1 stars): I believe this is an "updated" GE filter and it is Horrible.
My GE refrigerator was purchased new in 2007 (model GSS23QG /GSS23QS /GSS25QG /GSS25QS).  I have replaced the filter many times and had no problems.  Until i purchased this filter. As soon as I installed it the filter following all the instructions properly, it emitted a high pitch whining noise whenever you dispense water and the water pressure has gone down.  I thought it would go away, and after waiting a month, realized it was permanent.  I removed the filter 3 times and installed it and always get the high pitch noise when getting water.  I believe that they have updated the filter without admitting it.  I called GE at 1-800-626-2002 and they said there has been no changes to the filter, but the facts speak for themselves. So if you get lucky and get one of the old filters, then great.  If you get a new one, I hope you like your water with a little whine. This filter has a large hole in the middle with two lines about 1/4 inch each on either side of it.  This company should not be selling the filters if they know there is a problem.
