Product review (5 stars): Authentic Part #
Some reviews a I read were confusing! I compared this filter to the one I bought at Sears when the fridge was brand new. This is clearly the exact same thing and an OEM part. That blackish fluid that comes out at first is NORMAL. That is why the instructions tell you to run 2.5 gallons of water through the new filter. The black is carbon dust from the filter assembly as far as I can tell and clears right up. Happy with purchase.
