Product review (1 stars): These will break your refrigerator
Do yourself a favor and do not purchase this. Spend the extra money and purchase the real GE product. I'll tell you why. The difference is in the way these are manufactured. The original GE model has a solid charcoal slug through which the water passes. This model and other inexpensive ones like it are more like the "brita" style in which powdered charcoal is trapped within a permeable filter membrane. The problem is that over time, charcoal particulates get out of the filter, and into the solenoid valves for your ice maker and water dispenser. These filters caused my fridge to begin to chatter and whine, and eventually totally blocked my dispenser solenoid. Now I've got to service my fridge, all to save a couple bucks. Had I known, I never would have used these. Let my pain be your lesson.
