Do I have to presoak this filter
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello George, Thank you for the question. You do not need to presoak the filter, however once installed you can run 5 liters through the dispenser before use to flush the filter. We hope this helps!

How do I get the filter out it turn but but will not come out
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Thomas, Thank you for the question. Once the Cover for the filter is lowered, you will need to turn the filter to the left, about a ¼ turn. The filter should release itself from the filter manifold. Make sure you are turning the filter far enough to the Left to have it automatically release. If the filter is "stuck", the Filter Manifold could be damaged and may need to be replaced. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

I know that XWFE water filter replaced the XWF -- I can read you website. I asked you what the difference is.....please advise. thank you
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Colleen, thank you for contacting us. The only difference between the XWFE and the XWF is a chip on the back of the XWFE filter, which uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to communicate with the fridge. The chip is used to detect leaks and let the refrigerator know its health and originality. Customer service is always available to help you place an order if you are having trouble doing so. Good luck with your repair.

Does this refrigerator water filter work on the drinking water and water going to ice maker? If so, can I turn off the ice maker and only use it for drinking water?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Peter, thank you for reaching out. We have researched and found the water passes through this water filter for both the ice maker and the water dispenser. You can turn the ice maker off if you want to use the water dispenser only. The ice maker has a power switch located on the unit. Switch that button to the "off" position to turn the ice maker off. We hope this helps!

I attempted to change my water filter and now I have no ice or water although I have been successful in replacing the cylinder. Is there some other step I need to do to make it work?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Sherry, Thank you for the question. 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, PartSelect Number: PS220347. We hope this helps!

I replaced the water filter XWFE with a new GE XWFE and all I get is ERR code. I have unplugged the refrigerator to reset it but that didn't help. I put old filter back in and it works. My refrigerator is only 6 mths old.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Glenda, thank you for reaching out. Based on our research, we would recommend checking that there are no scratches or filter label damage, and you are using the model compatible water filter. Replace the filter if the filter label shows damage. The compatible water filter for your model is part number PS16217433. Glad to be of help!

I replaced the water filter about 3 weeks ago and every thing was fine for about 3 days . Then I started seeing little black flakes in the water about 0.050 of an inch in size. I replaced the water filter again an every thing was fine for about 3 days again. Then the same thing. I have got a third filter in there now and so far so good . Never had this problem before. What's going on. Are the filters bad or is there a problem with my fridge.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi George, thank you for reaching out. The issue you are experiencing with black flakes in the water could be because of the contaminated water supply. If the water supply to your refrigerator is contaminated or has sediment, it could cause particles to appear in the water. Consider checking the water supply line for any issues. If that is not the case, we would suggest replacing the water filter head and tubing, part number PS12703534. We hope this solves your problem!
