Troubleshooting for GE Water Filter Cartridge Removal

Foul-tasting water and ice may be an indication of an old water filter cartridge in your GE refrigerator. This cartridge requires replacement every six months in order to eliminate odors. It also affects the quality of water and ice cubes produced by the ice and water dispenser. Careful installatiion of the cartridge is essential to prevent permanent damage to the refrigerator. A damaged water filter voids the warranty and is a costly yet preventable mistake. GE-approved filter cartridges specifically for your refrigerator will ensure the refrigerator operates normally, and can be purchased through the GE product site.
