This OEM ice and water filter fits side-by-side and bottom-freezer GE models. The most common reason you would need to change this part is if you have never updated your model and it is no longer filtering your water. This also may lead to your refrigerator not dispensing water or ice properly. Manufacturers recommend you change your filter every six months to ensure it properly filters impurities. Depending on the model, a red light might also indicate that the filter is due for a replacement. Note: As per the manufacturer, this is an updated water filter. If you have never installed the updated part or your old model was made by Culligan, you may need the adapter to install the filter. See related parts. This filter is located inside the refrigerators upper right corner. It is common for water to drip from the dispenser when being changed so place a cloth underneath before you begin this repair. To remove the filter, turn it to the left until it releases without pulling down. Fill the new filter with tap water to prepare it. Position the new filter into the holder taking note of the arrows. The arrow on the front should be facing out. Gently push up on the filter and turn it to the right to secure it. Do not over-tighten. To release air in the system run 1-1/2 gallons of water through it. If your model has a reset button, press and hold this for a few seconds to reset it.

Customer Repair Stories

Ice Maker stopped workiing

Hardest part of repair was getting frig. away from cabinets to unplug it.
Turn off water to ice maker.
Phillips's screwdriver to take off the cover of the electrical connection to
the icemaker tip it outward. I used flat head screwdriver to help disconnect the connection.
Also, to help getting the old icemaker removed. Once removed returned New one the reverse of taking it out. Won't need screwdriver to get it back in place. Put cover back in place and put the Phillips screw back in place. Plug refrig. back in. put it back in place turn the water back on should be good to go! BE afew hrs. before ice starts to show up!
Good Luck

Icemaker worked except for warming coil which prevented ice from releasing into tray

Replacement ice maker was plug in unit, only needed to remove one screw holding plastic plate that hid plug and wiring. Plugged it in and reattached plate with screw and done!
