FAKE FILTERS
HD must have bought a batch of fake filters! These have a fake label - 1) There is no QR code in these. 2) There’s no RFID on these. 3) GE appliances are made in the US NOT China like these. Even the color on the XWFE is faded in the fake one.

    This Filter No Longer Fits
    Like other reviewers, I went to HD to purchase a new XWFE filter, only to get home and realize that the tops of the filters are no longer the same. The original filter has a smooth top, so you can easily align the arrows of the filter to your refrigerator and twist it. The filters have changed and are now "ridged", meaning you cannot simply pop the filter in. I took it back, and the employees at HD actually argued about the difference and had no solution! So now I'm stuck with an old filter.

        Carbon dust
        On 4th new filter-all have carbon dust in water and ice after you purge to use. I ran more than 6 gallons of water-got fresh ice-let melt in sink-see photos carbon dust. Put the water from fridge in large clear container, let sit overnight, dumped out, dried with clean white cloth-it’s black with carbon dust. They say it’s safe to drink but I’m not drinking this. The filter that came with the refrigerator 6 months ago didn’t do this. Very bad and potentially hazardous to health.

          Replacement filter not compatible
          This filter my new fridge is telling me to purchase is getting an ERR msg. A $50 filter on my 6 month old GE fridge and I cant use it bc your faulty filters...seriously...GE knows about this issue. The reviews all say theres a problem in the last bunch of months. If you cant make a filter to fit your fridge give me back my money so I can buy a fridge that works with it's own manufactured parts its intended to. GNE27JYMWFFS WITH XWFE FILTER

            Need to know the difference OEM vs COUNTERFEIT
            I recently visited a Home Depot and noticed a difference in the color, and don’t sharpness between two of this same filter XWFE same model number. 1. The difference between the two Main cardboard with the details were slightly different blues. One was a dark navy, and the other is more light. Other colors such as the green in the quad column on the bottom left also differ. 2. In the picture to the right (lighter blue) the font is not sharp and same for the back font. 3. Are these two OEM?

            Hey there - thanks for taking the time to reach out. If you purchase a filter from our parts page, it's genuine. If you purchase from an authorized dealer, like Home Depot, they will be genuine too. We have no reason to doubt that an authorized dealer would have anything other than genuine parts in their store. If you purchase from a 3rd party, that's where it gets fuzzy. If you purchase from Home Depot and have issues with the filter, we recommend contacting our HD.com customer service department at 1-800-430-3376 any day between 6 a.m. and 2 a.m. EST or call your local store. They can either address your concern or transfer you to your local store for further assistance. We hope this is insightful and please feel free to reach out anytime with any questions or concerns. Kind regards. Lauren@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

              Actually no, I am very disappointed with this filter. I followed the installation instructions but red filter light is still on. I took it out and reinstalled but the light remains on. Thinking I got a bad filter.

              Unbelievably easy installation!
              This filter is just what we needed for our GE refrigerator. We tried to buy it directly from GE, but they returned our check with no explanation, so we decided to go back to where we bought the appliance, and of course Home Depot had what we needed. The filter itself was incredibly easy to install. It literally took about 30 seconds to have the old one out and the new one in place. I do recommend filling a pitcher with water and pouring it out to flush the line after installing your new filter.

                The filter labeled made in US has extra plastic on the top preventing to the filter to fit properly. Filters labeled made in China only work.

                This filter is an OEM and it fits perfectly in the fridge. It takes lass than 30 seconds to replace. The longativi depends on the water use, but we are seeing 4 to 5 months with moderate use. I derated it a star because the market is flooded with filters for half of this price, so they need to be more competitive on that aspect. IMO, Its way too high priced for a water filter of this kind. Quality seems to be there, and it is dependable to fit perfectly though.

                Product proves GE is anti-consumer.
                This filter, and the fridges that go with them, have an RFID chip that prevents the use of any 3rd party filter, or even the exact same, genuine GE filters without the chip, that cost $15 instead of $50. There is no reason to do this except to grab money. These are fine filters, but I find 3rd party filters are better. I will never buy another GE appliance.

                The XWFE filter is embedded with Leak-Detecting Sensing Technology. This innovation enables the refrigerator to shut the water valve down if a leak is detected at the filter. The RFID chip will also communicate filter status to the refrigerator controls. This filter is certified to reduce chlorine-resistant cysts, lead, select pharmaceuticals and 50 other impurities that may be present in your water. Additional information can be found by searching online for a support article titled: "XWFE Performance Data Sheet". We only recommend the use of genuine GE Appliances water filters as they have been tested and are certified to NSF/ANSI Drinking Water Treatment standards and will not damage the filtration system on your refrigerator. You do have the option to use a bypass filter, which we will send to you at no charge. Please locate the complete model and serial number of your refrigerator and call 1-800-432-2737 to request the bypass filter with the understanding that the water to your icemaker and water dispenser will no longer be filtered.

                  It's a water filter -- short of sending my water to a lab for verification, I have to trust it's doing what it's supposed to. This fridge is new enough that this was my first time replacing the filter. It was simple to install and I found it to be somewhat less expensive here at HD than the two online stores where I've usually purchased my filters. Picking it up at the store was easy enough. As long as the price beats others, I'll do it again.

                  This is a manufactures product, so it fits just as it should in my GE fridge. It is fairly easy to install the replacement. I like that I can pick these up at my local store.

                  Replacing the filter fixed the problem I was having--no ice production. I wish the part was not so darn expensive, but to save a few bucks, I did buy the 2-pack offered by Home Depot. I'll be ready the next time my icemaker quits working.

                  Great product and easy to install. Must have with GE refrigerators to ensure water and ice remain free of harmful pollutants and most antibiotics.
