Product review (1 stars): Buyer Beware - Filter May Break Your Water Filter Housing
I've always used GE original filters, although as someone that prefers to buy generic branded when available I jumped at the opportunity to buy this cheaper brand filter. What could go wrong? Well, turns out a whole lot. Upon inserting the filter into the fridge, it immediately made some loud noises, which I attributed to the water lines adjusting to the pressure. Upon depressing the dispenser, the flow of the water was markedly slower and the refrigerator continued to make loud noises as though it were straining to pump it through the filter. Realizing that something was likely broken I called a service technician for service. 265 dollars later and my refrigerator is back to normal. The cause? The water filter housing was destroyed. Be advised that while this may work for your fridge, there is a chance it could also break it in the process. Be smart and pay the extra 20 bucks for a genuine replacement filter. It's cheaper than getting it repaired.
