This OEM filter measures 2.1-Inches by 2.2-inches by 12.7-Inches. It is used to reduce bad tasting water, while also lessening dirt, rust, and other sediments. It is recommended to replace this filter every six months or 2500 gallons. If performance of the filter has changed, it may need to be replaced sooner, depending on the water conditions. It is sold individually.
This filter is compatible with refrigerators that do not have built-in filtration. It is used in side-by-side and top-freezer refrigerators. The filter has a new design with quick connect fittings at the end of the filter so it can be easily installed behind your refrigerator. This filter only works with plastic lines. The only tool you may need for this repair is something to cut your tubing with. To install, first turn off the water supply. The filter can now be inserted into the 1/4-Inch OD supply tube that carries water to the appliance. Now cut the tubing in a straight line (if installing for the first time, if this is a replacement you can skip this step). Push the tubing into the filter inlet until it is flush with the fitting collar. Place the filter outlet over a bucket and flush it out by turning on the water supply valve and allowing it to flow for about five minutes. Now connect the outlet of the filter to the water line going to the appliance. Turn on the water supply.

Ice bucket Auger was rusting and getting the ice dirty.
Removed the old ice bucket from the freezer and placed the ice in a plastic bag to reuse. Removed the ice bucket front cover by removing six (6) screws. Installed the old front cover to the new ice bucket by using four (4) screws. Replaced the new ice bucket in the freezer and filled it with the ice. Also replaced the water filter. Th
... Read moree ice bucket repair was very easy and fast. Filter replacement took more time since I had to go buy some new tubing.
After I realized that I needed to take the front and door off the old ice bucket (which involved removing 4 screws) and mount it on the new part (putting in those 4 screws), the job was easy. Installing the new assembly requires shoving it into place without really being able to see how or where it attaches, so I wasn't sure it worked unt
... Read moreil it produced ice a few hours later, and it did.
The filter on the fridge was more than 10 years old, but the new GE Smart filter and its adapters screwed and snapped into place easily. Subsequent filter changes will be simple - just a snap!
the back plate was removed and the solenoid part was removed for ordering. when installing, the same plate was removed. then the part was installed. also we put in an in-line water filter. that just included splicing the common inlet tube prior to the soloniod entrance and installing the filter.
After market GE water filter spud fitting broke off
It originally appeared that an easy out would be required to remove ferule from piping line, but later it became necessary to cut old broken fitting off and replace with compression fitting in replacement kit. Total time to repair after all tools were on hand (needed to buy tubing cuter) was about 45 minutes.

Ice make auger rusted, unable to serve clean ice.
Replacement auger and ice bucket assembly was perfect. Just had to remove the front door/flap assembly from the old unit and screw on to the new. The water filter kit took more time to read the box instructions than it did to install. Perfect. Am very pleased with the service/value offered by PartSelect.

I purchased a condo a year ago which came with the refrigerator. The information on the inside indicates that this is a 2007 model. I was wondering how often the water filter which is located at the bottom of the refrigerator needs to be replaced. Is this filter for the ice maker or the water dispenser? Also is there any local repairman that I might use? Thank you.
For model number 10676234402
Hello Judith, Thank you for the question. For local repair men you will need to contact the manufacture sorry. We are just an online parts site. Customers have been able to install the filters on their own.You should replace the filter every 6 months or 120 gallons for optimal performance and it is used to filter the water to the ice and water dispenser. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

For model number Gxrtdr
Hello Ted, thank you for your question. To remove the tube, press down on the collet on the end of the connection and pull the tubing straight out. Good luck with your repair!

The ice looked cloudy and some had a yellow tint. Ordered water filter gxrlqk. Went to install and find out our refrigerator does not has a water filter in the top left hand side of the unit. Pulled out refrigerator to see if filter was in back but it wasn't. Past the 30 day return filters. Can a unit for the filter be installed and if so how much time and money would that cost to do it yourself. I can't believe you would sell a refrigerator with ice maker without having a filter.
For model number GFSS2HCYASS
Hi Chris, thank you for your question. We are not GE. The part that you bought is an In- Line water filter. That means that your fridge did not come with one so what you have to to is install this filter on your water line coming from the house to the valve of your appliance. Here is a video that will show you how that is usually done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSDezsagT2s. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

I need water filter wr97x0214 and i see there is an item that replaces this particular number. My big question is where is the filter? Do i have to remove a cover plate in the upper back of the cold food side or is it easily accessible somewhere else? Thanks
For model number TFX20JRXAWH
Hi Julie, Thank you for the question. According to the model number you provided, the appliance did not come equipped to use a water filter. The water supply would run through your filtration system in your home before it reaches the appliance. Hope this helps!

My existing part # is gxrtqr, your part # is gxrtrq. Is this the same part ?
Hi Charles, thank you for your question. gxrtrq, actually is not a part number that comes up on our site. The part number you have gxrtqr, does come up. Unfortunately it has been discontinued and we have no known replacement listed in our system. We have no further information. You are welcome to contact the manufacturer of the part to see if they have recently released a new substitute. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
