Product review (1 stars): It broke my fridge
I bought this filter thinking it was a great bargain, and after all, what could go wrong?
I mean, it is just a filter... it has no mechanical parts... if it doesn't do the job, I throw it away, and all I lost is about $20, right? Worth the try.
Well, not quite. I installed in my fridge. Easy. But very little (just a trickle) water was coming out. And whatever was coming out, was brown. So I thought, "no big deal, just filter a few gallons until it comes clean, and that'd do it". I left the water dispenser on while it was coming brown, it ended up with no water coming out at all, and now it doesn't work even if I put the old filter back. I think it burned a solenoid (I have no clue, but I don't hear a noise that I used to). Beautiful.
Was it my fault? May be, but if you need to do something special with this thing, they should explain it before we keep on breaking more fridges.
