I replaced SmartWater filter in GE side by side fridge (model PS123SGRSV), and water began slowly leaking out of filter into fridge. I removed filter to re-install. After attempting to re-install filter, water began pouring out of filter. I turned off water supply, and now question how to resolve issue.

Hi there is a grommet you can replace.
#WR02X10678 it is about $7.00 It can help seal the plug sometimes. Ge does want you to buy the whole filter assembly it is number
#WR17X11618 $51.50 . You may also consider putting a new filter in. It seals better than the plug it is number
#gwf $42.95. I dont know why they dont sell a o-ring kit. I guess they just dont make much money on o-rings. I hope this will help you. Have a nice day.

Ge smartwater filtration system has slow moving water
You have to prime air out of new filters. Also if you have a reverse osmosis water system, your water pressure may not be sufficient.
You may have to bypass the filter. Most fridges come with a plug that will fit where the filter goes. good luck

After replacing the cartridge, the water flow is extremely poor. After calling GE, I was told I may have a bad filter. Hope not at the price per filter they charge. Is there any other solution? Is it...
The GE GXRLQR is the correct *replacement* filter for the following "Smartwater" single stage filtration and exterior refrigerator icemaker systems:
  • GE GXRLQ
  • GE GX1S50F
  • GE GQ1S50F
This filter is rated for only 750 gallons / 6 months of use (typical fridge with ice maker & water service). Most home faucets will deliver about 6 gallons / minute which roughly translates to about 2 hours of running water.


The GE FQSLF works with the following for the following Dual Stage Under Sink filtration systems:

  • GE GQSL55F
  • GE GXSL55F
Because there are 2 filters, they will last nearly 2x as long as the GE GXRLQR. and would likely be better suited to serving a faucet which will pass much more water than a fridge ice maker & chilled water dispenser would.

The real question is: Which GE filtration SYSTEM (not filters) do you have?

Gxrlqr filter leaks
MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU REPLACE THE FILTER IT IS IN THE SAME ORDER AS THE ONE YOU REMOVED OR THAT IT IS THE SAME MODEL TYPE REPLACEMENT , I WOULD TRY TO TURN IT AROUND FIRST , A THIN WRAP OF "WHITE PLUMBERS TAPE" , AROUND THE SCREW TOP INNER SEAL MAY CORRECT THE LEAK , ABOUT THE FILTER , WELL , IT MAY JUST BE SIMPLY IN THE REVERSE ORDER , TRY TO FILP THAT OVER , AND WHEN YOU RESEAL THE CAP ON THE FILTER MAKE SURE THAT THE SEAL IS ON PROPERLY , APPLY PLUMBERS TAPE ONCE AROUND , AND *"BEFORE YOU TIGHTEN IT" , GENTLY , REVERSE THE CAP BACKWARDS , SLOWLY , UNTIL YOU FEEL IT "SEAT " PROPERLY , "THEN" YOU MAY TRY TO RE-TIGHTEN IT . THIS SHOULD REMEDY YOUR LEAK , IF IT CONTINUES MAKE SURE THEN THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT REPLACEMENT FILTER MODEL FOR YOUR PARTICULAR ITEM . HOPE THIS HELPS YOU . NOW GO FIX IT ! GOOD LUCK .

GE smartwater filter (model GXRLQR) stopped working...help!
These replacement filters (GXRLQR) are FLAWED straight out of the factory. The problem is in the 2 little "teeth" nubs that stick up near the center circle of the filter. When the filter is twisted and inserted, these teeth push up on a tiny black spring loaded valve in the body of the filter, alowing water to pass through up and out the spigot. The flaw is that the "nubs" are too short and do not push open the spring valve far enough, reducing flow to a semi-trickle, even with a brand new filter. GE seems to think this is not a problem.

Solution=stick a $0.25 garden hose rubber washer in the top of the filter and screw it in. You may have to try a few times to get it to work and seat properly. When it works, you'll immediately get a nice super flow of water. Better than upgrading to a $200 filter system recommended by GE...

GE SmartWater RO Filter Tank Leaking?
I had same system under my sink for same amount of time and have since then removed entirely for health reasons related to Ro Systems. Mainly the tanks becomes contaminated [alge build up]and my faimly had constant nagging stomach aches which took a long time to resolve untill we decided to disconnected and throw out our "beloved healthy RO System" and decided to install a bi annual disposable type filter system. If you are expereanceing this I would advise the same as for the leak ,There are so many connections under there and it is usually not the tank but the fittings in lines some where and the reason it looks like the tank is because that is the lowest point the leak has traveled. So check all your fittings and if you decide on simple water filter I will advise you.

Please rate. Thanks jj505

Water leaking at filter
If this is a Pure source 2 filter in the upper right hand side of fridge, Purchase an Electrolux filter bypass, P/N 241944302. This is a empty cartridge that lets water flow without water drip when filter is clogged. Fridgidaire/Electrolux made no bypass in these filters, so when clogged they leak. Plus they NEVER last more than about 30/60 days. If you use the bypass, you will need a separate filter elsewhere such as in water line under sink or behind fridge. Call me at 816-560-8545 if you need more info.
