Product review (2 stars): Filter Media Plugged My Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve
Loose filtration media in the filter, resulted in having to replace the water inlet valve in my refrigerator.

Upon replacing the filter, my ice maker fill valve would not fully shut off.  Water continued to drip into the ice tray, overflowing into the freezer.  This resulted in having to replace the water inlet valve.

Now that the valve has been replaced, the filter does a great job at making the water taste good.  But any savings I had by buying this filter, instead of a Maytag OEM filter, was lost three times over by the expense of having to replace the valve.

If you decide to buy this filter, be very thorough in rinsing it out before install, taking care to assure that no loose debris comes out.

Personally, next time I will buy the Maytag filter.
