Product review (4 stars): As Described
*** I am changing this review because I cannot day in good conscious say whether the problem was because of the filter itself or poor quality filter heads that GE manufactures for its refrigerators. I am going to assume its the latter since Ive now replaced the filter head assembly for the third time since purchasing my refrigerator two years ago. I will no longer throw my $$$ away on these filters since I am starting to believe that the act of removing old filters and putting new ones on is what is causing the filter head to break due to GEs poor craftsmanship of the built in water dispenser. I have switched to an in-line filter that seems to work just as well and will last 3-5 years.  I do not intend to buy another appliance from GE ever again.

After one day of use, the wate runs slow and shuts off after less than a minutes use. Using a bypass plug or the old filter resolves the problem. The seal was intact upon arrivial but this filter appears to be either used or defective. Im very disappointed.
