Product review (1 stars): Possible problem
Upon installing this filter, the flow of water was reduced to a trickle.  It would take 5 min to fill an 8oz glass!  Replaced the old GE filter, but flow remained a trickle.  Finally, installed bypass plug.....  Still a trickle.  Something was restricting the water flow so I searched Google for similar problem.

Turns out there is a small valve projection on the bottom of the "water filter assembly" that holds the filter.  When you turn the filter to remove it, this small projection turns off the water supply, and on again when installing a new filter.  Upon examining the GE filter you will see two small ski-slope projections around each side of the center hole.  These sloped projections push the water filter on/off valve projection up or down upon rotation.  I carefully examined the water filter assembly on our 5 year old GE refrigerator and determined its on/off projection was damaged.

Comparing the Supco with the GE,  I noticed the sloped projections and inlet/outlet holes do not match the GE exactly.  Could this mismatch cause the broken water filter assembly?  Cost for new water filter assembly $70 plus $98-&125 to install.

Strange no one else has reported this problem.  $40 bucks for a genuine GE filter or $170-$200 for a new filter assembly?  I learned my lesson the hard way.

I'll pay the price for the GE
