Does not work consistently
I purchased a 3 pack (not from Amazon) for use in my GE Profile refrigerator. The first one worked fine, but when it came time to replace it, the second one would not work. After installing the second filter I received no water through the dispenser.
First I thought something was wrong with the water line. I pulled out the fridge and checked water flow into the dispenser. Water flow was good. I then started thinking the water valve was broken, but it seemed curious to me that it failed exactly when I replaced the filter....so I tried putting the first Aqua Fresh filter back on. But again, no water.
Before I started replacing valves, I wanted to completely rule out the filter as potential cause so I put the bypass plug into the filter holder and water began to flow again.
At this point I'm thinking it must be the filter. I go to the local store plop down the the ridiculous sum of $43 for the GE brand filter, plug it in, and it works! I then...
It's worth paying extra for the original part
This is an "after-market" product that costs about 1/3 less than the original name-brand replacement. When I received it, it seemed as if it could possibly be used. I suspected this b/c the label affixed to the filter had sort of "stretch" tears on it (the kind of tear from a twisting motion that might occur from torquing the product in or out). Besides that, there is a seal that goes on the very top which was present but not affixed, and the box seemed a bit dirty/smudged. I put the filter in after following the directions of filling it with water, etc., and I immediately noticed a strange taste in the water. I thought maybe I just needed to run it for a while, but the taste never went away. I kept it in for several weeks but both the water and the ice tasted weird. I contacted the company & they assured me it was brand new and offered to refund my money. I returned it to them & got a prompt refund, which was great (they were very responsive & pleasant to deal with). Then I...
Good Product - Good Price...
Purchased a used refrigerator with an ice maker - Hooked it up and water flow was slow, but THIS item restored the flow to full speed ahead as soon as installed!
