Product review (5 stars): I've had the refrigerator for 9 years and never had ...
I've had the refrigerator for 9 years and never had any trouble until I started buying an off the wall brand of filter because it was cheaper.  Next thing you know my drain tube got plugged up with some weird gooey stuff which meant the water couldn't get through so it leaked out onto my new laminate floor and ruined one of the boards.  I cleaned out the drain tube but within a couple of months the same thing happened.  Now I will only buy the original GE filters for my refrigerator.  No problems when I use them.
