Product review (4 stars): GE scam alert this filter works fine see instructions......
Okay listen carefully as I have figured out the whole leak detection BS GE has engineered into their filter replacement scheme. I had the same thing show leak detected, which will not allow water or ice to be made. The fact that there is an immediate alert of leak detection caught my attention as it should for the rest of you. I removed the filter and took notice to other details that could cause this alert to happen, if you'll notice on the GE filter there is a magnetic circular object taped to the back side of the filter. Remove the tape and  sensor and tape it onto the backside of your filter in the exact position of the original filter. Unplug your refrigerator and reinstall the new filter then plug your refrigerator back in. This magnetic ID tag will show the correct GE filter is in place, however, it will show that the filter still needs to be replaced. The reason is GE has so magnificently coded each individual filter with its own ID number embedded in the magnetic strip. The refrigerator will show the same ID tag is in place there for showing the original filter has not been changed. And they know that people will eventually just use the original equipment filters to avoid the embarrassment of friends and family seeing the filter expiration on the screen.... I'm pretty sure what they've done is illegal forcing you to buy GE product only that will properly work in your refrigerator. There needs to be a class action lawsuit against them as this is completely illegal in the automotive industry, therefore, why wouldn't it be illegal in every other industry which forces consumers to only buy their replacement parts. Again the filter works perfectly now, however, still shows that it needs to be replaced.
