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.

I found that I didn't need this
The part was fine, but the apartment I live in changes the filters, so I really didn't need it. I will keep it just in case they do not change it when I think it is time.

The correct part for our refrigerator. Easy to insert.
Setting an automatic order for every six months was a great idea. I keep the records and look forward to keeping the refrigerator in peak condition.

Easy repair
We noticed that our ice in our ice maker was getting smaller and smaller. When I looked up why it said the filter needed changing. I started researching replacement filters and was very surprised at the high cost. Then I came across partselect.com and was pleasantly surprised at the price. We used a YouTube video to replace the filter and I am happy to say it went well, no leaks and our ice is back to its normal size!

Pieces/units were broken from general wear-and-tear.
Did the repairs just by self knowledge. Thank you very much for wonderful customer service (Kirsten was terrific!). We still can't believe how quickly all the parts arrived. Much, much, much appreciated. Blessings!!
The Frame Cover I ordered had broken. 3rd time replacing it. Bad Quality
There is a shelf that goes on top of the frame cover. That was not broken. Replacement was not necessary. The shelf does not fit properly in the new frame. Your advice was to buy a new shelf at a cost. Would have been good to tell consumer that the product doesn't fit the previous frame.
Refrigerator shelf was broken and the water flow was a dribble.
Removed the taped together broken shelf and replaced with the new replacement shelf. Following the online instructions, the old water filter was removed and the new water filter was installed.
noise from freezer.(WhOOOO-oooooh, WHOOO-oooooh,......) annoying with doors closed, worse with freezer door open.
Watched some videos on youtube after typing in : refrigerator noise, and my model # (in search bar.) Found a video after determining my problem of a gentleman from partselect replacing the evaporator motor. Pretty simple job from video so I went for it ordered parts from them( I fixed the inlet valve on my dishwasher bfore with partselect
... Read more before). I would call the job easier than it looks. But you need common sense and simple tools and some experience with nuts and bolts and wires. There is one bolt tucked up high under ice maker you may need a right angle nut driver or 1/4 right angle ratchet.(video pointed out). Thanks for video and quality GE parts. I now have a quiet kitchen and great room, with just a low db constant white noise like new.
Leaking icemaker assembly was causing all of the ice cubes in the ice tray to freeze together. Remove ice tray, remove one Philips screw, pull the cover off, unplug the wires, remove the icemaker assembly by pushing tab and pulling the assembly at the same time. Replaced the water filter as well.
Mostly cosmetic, ice funnel broken, not dispensing water
Just look at the parts diagram and follow the explanation. That easy. Still not dispensing water, so i think i need a switch since the water filter is new but no water.
Auto water stopped working, found that filter needed replacement
Unscrewed old cartridge, ordered new cartridge, installed new cartridge by following very simple instructions. Took only one day for part to arrive from PartSelect although I paid for cheapest shipping, which was "ground." I was amazed!

Ice and Water Filter needed replacement
I watched the video, and noticed that they did not even turn off the water. The replacement took less than 30 seconds once the filter was filled with water.

I just want to make sure i am understanding the cross reference for my water filter.Per my model number it calls for a mwf filter.The filter online shows it is for a mswf.They are compatible correct? I would not need to purchase any adapter? This is a new refrigerator.Thank you.
For model number GSS23GSKGCSS
Hi Stephen, Thank you for the question. The new upgraded filter for your model number is listed as MWFP. If you have not installed the new filter you will need the Adapter, PartSelect #: PS220347. Hope this helps!

I just installed a new water filter and my refrigerator stopped making ice, it does dispense water.
For model number GSHS6HGDBCSS
Hello Judy, thank you for your question. Check the fill tube and fill cup that brings water to the icemaker. It could be clogged with ice. If there is no ice obstructing the tube and cup, test the water inlet valve to be sure both ports on the valve are working. Here is a link on how to test the water valve. https://www.partselect.com/Refrigerator+test-water-valve+repair.htm. You can also try to run the following test on the icemaker itself.Turn icemaker Off for 15 seconds and turn back on,Push in on paddle 3 times and only 3 times within 15 seconds of powering the icemaker back on.Within 3 minutes, the icemaker should enter the harvest mode.The heater will turn on for a about of 20 seconds, and the comb inside the icemaker will make one full revolution and return to the "Home" position.At the end of 3 minutes, the icemaker mold should fill with water.The green light under the ON/OFF switch should be on and steady.If this does not fix the issue you may need to replace the icemaker. I hope this helps!

Hello Turo, thank you for your question. Yes, the filter part number MWFP is the right part for your appliance. However, 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. The

I have soft water, can I get a filter cap and use this instead of the filter and save some money? The frig works great.
For model number gse26ggecccc
Hi Michael, Thank you for the question. There is a filter bypass cap for this model number, PartSelect Number: PS783756. Hope this helps!
I have two lines in back of my fridge one of them is just a tube with an opening at the tip. The other has a fitting on it what are they for i’m quite sure the one with the screw cap on it is for the water line what’s the other one for
For model number GSH25GGCBBB
Hi Ray,
Thank you for your question. The only plastic tube lines that you should have in your fridge are water lines. Anything copper has to do with your compressor. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
