Filter failed and flooded fridge and floor!
I have faithfully replaced this filter every 6 months for over 5 years, today, on Thanksgiving of all days, I wake up to my kitchen flooded! It looked like the filter failed and busted open leaving the contents of the fridge and the floor flooded. The filter was replaced on July 17th, so only 4 months old. Water was spewing out of the area where it separated, see photo. I have never had any previous issues, it wasn't overtightened, it appeared to work properly until today, now my day and my floor are ruined.

Inside peg not long enough
GE has an issue with some of their Refrigerators. The inside peg that hits the dispenser is either not long enough or becomes worn out over time. This causes the water dispenser to fail. Also, it would help out if there was some sort of abrasive material on the filter to allow it to be easily handled. It’s a bit tough reaching into the refrigerator to install it while it’s slipping from your hand. Please refer to the pictures to see what I’m referring to.

This is the MWF refrigerator water filter made by GE, not a substitute filter (of which there are many on the market). It was an exact replacement for the filter in my GE refrigerator and functioned the same. Although more expensive than substitute filters, I had heard of problems with some of those and wanted to use a filter that I could count on. Remember to fill it slowly with tap water before placing in the refrigerator (until air bubbles stop coming out) to avoid sputtering when water first comes through. My refrigerator had no arrow mark on the filter housing. GE said to hold the filter with its arrow centered on the front of the housing when raising it into the housing (and turn clockwise after contact, about one-half turn, which will raise it into its final position).
