I'd guess that if you had a recent vintage GE appliance you may not have as good luck. They make them cheaper every year. We have had someone out 4 times for our refrigerator which is less than 2 years old. One time the repair guy was here we had him replace the water filter since he was offering a special deal if you buy from the service guy. Good thing we did, because when he went to take out the old one, water started spraying all over the refrigerator. Turns out the valve that was supposed to automatically close when the filter is removed failed. The only way to stop the flood was to pull the refrigerator away from the wall and turn the valve off at the wall.
