GE GSWF Refrigerator Water Filter Certified to Reduce Lead Sulfur and 50 Other Impurities Replace Every 6 Months

This filter works great in our fridge. It fits into the water filter slot fine. It's a bit difficult to get the old water filter cartridge out but that could be our fridge or the previous cartridge, so not taking off any stars for that. Was easy to put this new one in. The water flow is fine and the water tastes great Read more

Fits our GE refrigerator as this is the OEM replacement filter. Easy to install and makes a difference in the flow of the water dispenser and the ice cube maker. Get on the plan for auto reorder. It’s worth your time and money Read more

Very easy to install on my ice machine. Great value and I prefer to buy a few at a time, no issues with leaks and they last a long time. Read more

This is the 3rd time I have replaced the filter in the 4* years that I have owned the fridge. Cost is cheaper here and service was excellent. The GE filter actually lasts about a year depending on usage. As long as the flow is good the filter is working. Just remove filter when light first appears, give it a quick shake and rinse in the sink, re-install and reset the light. If flow is still good use it until the light illuminates again. I have not tried the generic ones but have gotten good use from the branded ones at a much better price with free shipping from Amazon. Update: Light went on in December almost to the day from when I switched it out last. Tried the trick of removing filter, shaking it and running the opening under tap water. Re-installed the filter, re-set the light and went about my business. It is now March and the light has yet to come on, flow and taste are still good. Could it be that the change filter light has a built in timer that comes on regardless of the condition of the filter? I'm just saying. I will buy a new one here once I am convinced the old one actually needs replacing. Read more

It took longer to unattach the old filter than it did to install this new one. I took the advice of another reviewer and filled the new filter with water before I installed it. No drips, no problems whatsoever. I ran water through the unit for 3 minutes as they recommend. Water tastes great and the water flow is much better. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the high price. I usually purchase generic replacements (for everything) instead of using the brand name replacements, but based on the issues other reviewers here were having with leaks and bad tasting water, I went with the GE brand filter. But I think GE could drop the price by $20 and still realize a decent markup. Read more

Not working…. Updating my review. The first filter did not work at all. Did all the troubleshooting I could and requested a replacement. The replacement came the next day and is working. I’m impressed with the turnaround on requesting a replacement. Read more

In case anyone has an older fridge from GE like myself, it works perfectly. I live alone, and use the filter for my morning coffee. Generally replace it once a year, rather than every six months. Worth paying for the peace of mind to filter out any possible impurities. Very easy to install. I press the "reset water filter" button after installing and I run about 3 liters through the system. The stream will be a bit inconsistent at first. That's normal. Wait a few hours and it will return to normal. Read more

I had purchased this item 3.5 years ago. Kept it in the original box, seal intact. Stored in a plastic box. Was using aftermarket filters during this time with no issues. Finally got around to using this authentic GE filter and it did not work. No water would come through. We have had the fridge since 2009 and have changed many filters in that time so we know what we're doing. It. Did. Not. Work. And now, thanks to tariffs, it is so expensive we will no longer purchase the brand name product and will stick with the affordable generic filters. Read more
