P.S. TO MY EARLIER POST.......and don't feel bad; my husband has the same exact problems each and every time he has to install a new filter into our GE......
He hates GE now......not made like they used to be, even you pay a small fortune.
O.K.
In general, the filter cartridge should be replaced every six months. Mark on your calendar. If you wait, you will hear the "chirping" sounds........
The filter may need to be replaced earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or ice maker decreases.
To remove the old cartridge, open the cartridge cover by pushing in where indicated.
Remove the cartridge by slowly rotating it to the LEFT.
A small amount of water may drip down.
If air has been trapped in the system, the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use caution when removing it.
Remove the protective foil from the end of the cartridge.
Position the cartridge inside the cartridge holder and slowly rotate the the cartridge to the RIGHT until it stops.
When the cartridge is properly installed, you will feel it "click" as it locks into place.
The blade on the end of the cartridge should be positioned VERTICALLY.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
Close the cartridge cover.
On models with a replacement indicator light, press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER PAD FOR THREE SECONDS.
RUN WATER FROM THE WATER DISPENSER ON THE DOOR FR 3 MINUTES, ABOUT ONE AND A HALF GALLONS......use a big container and keep throwing out into sink.
Again, good luck.
