Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Needs washer to work

WSB5 2/11/2026

It does not fit as the original filter did. I have to add a washer to the connection end so that it dispenses water.

ShireFox 10/13/2023

Because knock offs are out there, going directly to GE or a certified GE Dealer is the best choice. I already purchased a filter said to be compatible with GE refrigerators. NOT true... I learned my lesson after spending almost 50 dollars on an incompatible filter that cannot be returned.

Wrong Filter Shown

At A Loss 8/1/2022

I was so hopeful that the GSWF Filter pictured on the GE Appliances website would work in my Profile refrigerator (#PFSS2MJXASS), especially since the photo on the webpage showed just what I needed (the filter with the smaller hole in the center) and the part number matched what I needed However, to my great disappointment it was not to be. The filter that I received had the larger hole in the center and from past experience, I new not to install it (it would produced loud noises when engaged and no water would flow). I submitted a request to return the filter and promptly did so. I am still searching for a replacement filter with no luck and don't completely understand why the manufacturer of the appliance is unable to help. If the filter has been redesigned shouldn't there be some way for me to be able to get a filter that will work or perhaps an adapter so that the newer filters will work in my refrigerator. Even a different item/model number would help (at least that way I would know if I was ordering a replacement filter that will work) After all the refrigerator is still working. . . I should be able to use all of the features. So Disappointed

Pressure Loss

Elfredo 10/18/2021

i notice a significant water pressure loss at the refrigerators water spout. this has been getting worse over time. Although at times, i can get a new GSWF filter that seems to work fine, ie. no flow or pressure drop problems. The problem seems to lie in the filter. There is no build up if the refrigerators tubing/routing. This problem has been getting worse and i attribute it to the manufacturing process.

Poorly made, greatly disappointed

Disappointed64 3/28/2021

I have been buying these filters for years, sticking with the GE brand name part. This time the filter sent was defective, causing water to leak and the refrigerator to make noise. GE jerked me around when I called, they had a repair man visit who confirmed what I knew - the filter was defective, He didn't have a filter on the truck, so back to the phone to process the defective replacement. What a hassle. Need better quality on the parts.

GSWF Design Change

TBD818 12/24/2020

The shoulders inside the filter are shorter than earlier iterations. The latest filter won't fully actuate the water valve. I added some o-rings to make up the difference and got it to work. The latest are labeled GSWF but have MSWF in the description.
