Product review (1 stars): FLOOD warning! Read before changing filter!
After moving into a new home, the first thing I did was order a new water filter for the existing GE Monogram fridge.  I read warnings about the generic version  causing flooding and shelled out double the price for the official GE filter.

When I unscrewed the old filter (also name brand GE), there was an instant and uncontrollable FLOOD of water gushing that nothing and I mean nothing could stop.  I tried reinstalling the old filter, the new filter, nothing even slowed it down and within minutes the entire fridge as well as kitchen and nearby dining room floors (along with all our moving boxes!) were drenched.  I finally had to run outside to find and turn off the main water to the entire house (usually a smaller spigot underneath the regular hose spigot on the side).  If you don't know where the main water shut off is for your house, it would be wise to locate it before you attempt a filter change.

A plumber came and advised me that this is due to an older mechanism in filters before manufacturers created a spring loaded system for filter changes.  Then he determined a way we can safely change it in the future.

SOLUTION: Before each filter change, turn off main water to entire house.  Next, run kitchen faucet until no more water comes out.  Now you can safely unscrew the old filter and carefully screw in the new one.  Do not overtighten or push up on it.
Next you can turn on your main water again, and the final step is to dispense 1.5 gallons of water that you can use for anything but drinking or cooking, to get the lines cleaned out and the filter primed for use.

I'm still cleaning up the mess and laundering every towel etc in the house, but came on to post this in the hopes that it might help even one person avoid the stress and expense we incurred.

GE should have covered this defect as a recall, and due to this experience I would not likely ever buy another GE appliance.
