Water filter warning light has come on

Your GE frig water and ice filter does not have a number, MWF is the type of filter that fits your refrigerator. There is also a MWFP filter that traps even more particulates (pharmaceuticals) but the MWF works just fine. About $35 at Home Depot where they sell appliances.

turn of the water and remove the line at back of frig . put line in bucket and turn water back on if no water change the service valve . if water comes out of line the its most likley the water valve on the back of frig. ( replace it ) and if the valve on back is not bad the water line has frozen up inside the unit . but this would only be the foutain not the ice mker .. hope this helps .mm

Those filters are for refrigerators that have heavily treated water in the household. You could have a filter that filters your water supply and not use the filter inside the frig. Why use both? Now, if your home is not filtered, you may need it. Check to see if the water supply line is crimped somewhere or frozen when it gets inside the frig.

I looked up your frig and I did not see a filter. If you want to use one, you can install what is called an inline filter. This is simply a filter you install behind the frig attached to the water line going to the frig.

All you have to is unhook the water line from the frig, attach it to your newly bought inline filter, and install another water line on the other side of the filter and hook that back up to the frig!

So now you have a filter and two water lines :) Just make sure to point the filter the right way, the usually have an arrow on them. The water is supposed to flow through them in a certain direction.

the filter is in the toe kick behind the round piece

i would chngfe the filter first and see how that helps

Get a good connection to the cold water line, buy a good filter and run copper to the back of your refrigerator. Don't use a piercing valve. I know how you feel. Oh, put shutoff on side of filter housing that feeds the filter. Sea Breeze

you need to change the filter on the bottom of the refrigerator, take off the outside cover on bottom of fridge and on the left hand side right above the tray that keeps filling up there is a round filter that unscrews. unscrew it and replace the filter. You can get the filters at Lowes or Home Depot for about 20 bucks, hope this helps.

I have replaced the water filter on my frig. The red light won't reset itself to green...

The issue is with length of the filter and the space behind the filter allowing it to bend.

Along with many people we put a lot of things in our frig. When you jam things into your frig they can hit the filter causing it to bend towards the back of the frig. The long filter becomes a lever putting extra force on the plastic threads on the filter causing them to crack and leak.

Luckly we noticed our leak early and did not have a big leak into the floor below. But when I was removing items from the frig to get to the filter we had just bought two big gallons of milk and one was jammed into the filter.

You can try to remember to not put to much on that side, but within a month you will for get. Best thing to do until GE comes up with a better filter is to tape a wedge to the filter that fills the space between the filter and the back of the frig. That way if you jam a big gallon milk into the filter it will not bend and crack.
