GE WR17X11618 Filter Assembly and Tube for Refrigerator



Replacement Filter Assembly
The part was ordered from amazon itself and was a genuine GE part. Replacement was pretty easy.

Apparently, sometimes the filter assembly can become clogged. Since I couldn't figure out how to unclog it, I replaced it. If anyone knows how to unclog the filter assembly, please post.) In doing so, I tripled my water flow rate!!! The water now flows like when the refrigerator was new. While low water flow can be the result of many things, I had confirmed that the problem was within the filter assembly (and not the filter itself, insufficient water supply, inlet valve, frozen water line in the door or any other part).

Filter Assembly
I couldn't get my water dispenser and ice maker to work. The pump seemed to be running but nothing would come out. I noticed that the water filter would screw in but not lock in place. I bought this item thinking that something had worn down and somehow prevented activation. I turned out to be right. There is a notch inside where you screw in the filter or bypass plug. If this isn't depressed water will not feed the filter. I could obviously see what was broken once I removed the old assembly. Easy install. This has extended the life of my refrigerator.

Good quality
Easy to install and a direct GE replacement part. It only took me about 15 minutes to install and it's works great returning my frig to like-new.
