The ice maker and the water delivery is very slow. Will replacing the filter head fix this?

If that does not help, we would suggest checking the Water Inlet Valve, part number PS16226572, or Water Filter Head, part number PS12727276. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order, anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope that helps.

My fridge is about 5 1/2 years old I replaced the water filter with a non GE filter. It immediately started to make a hammering sound, and continued while dispensing water. Also noticed a small amount of water under the filter. s then stopped, but would start again at random and no water dispenses. I tried a second GE filter with the same result and I get a few drops of water under the filter sometimes. Will this part fix the problem?
For model number GSE25HGHJHBB
Hi Art, thank you for getting in touch. Yes, the issue seems to be with the water filter head, part number PS12727276. We would recommend replacing it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

After scheduled filter change I experienced several seconds of inordinate noise. Now I have low flow at the dispenser with a kind of hissing coming from the filter head area when dispensing. I experience this with both the old and new filter now.
For model number GSE25HMHEHES
Hello James, Thank you for the question. There could be air in the waterline that needs to be bleed. If the lines are clear, you may have a faulty Water Filter Head where the filter plugs in. We hope this information helps!

Model of fridge GSCS3KGYAFSS
Good morning, I have replaced my water filter in my refrigerator model number above and it’s leaking from the filter not the water filter head. If I remove the filter it does not leak.
For model number GSCS3KGYAFSS
Hello Steve, thank you for reaching out. We looked into your model and found that using the wrong replacement filter might be the reason for this issue. First, make sure you are using the compatible water filter, part number PS874614, and your fridge is properly leveled. If the issue persists, then make sure you have flushed water through the filter and removed the protective cap from the new filter. Keep the O-rings in place before you install them in your refrigerator. This allows water to flow through the filter properly and prevents leaks. We hope this information helps!
