I decided to replace the original filter on my GE refrigerator after about 10 months when the "change filter" light came on. I went to the local hardware store and found a replacement for $49 plus tax. It seemed expensive, so I decided to check Amazon instead and found these along with the OEM GE filters.
I was reluctant to try a filter other than the GE just to save a few bucks, but if they are identical, why waste money? Besides, Brita is probably better known than GE for filters. Anyway, the filter looks, fits and works just like the original. I have noticed no difference in water flow or noise. The water tastes clean and looks clear.
One note - as per the instructions you should pre-fill the filter at the tap before installation and then run about 10 glasses of water through the new filter before use to stabilize the flow.
As for the vendor - Fridge Filters, I found that you cannot track their packages online as you can with most things purchased from Amazon, but the filter arrived in Florida 4 days after my order was placed. I gave the product and the vendor 5 stars, not that I get particularly excited about a water filter, but there were no negatives to take a star away.

This an excellent product.I have been using this type of filter for at least 10 years with great results.
This product does what it is supposed to! One advise: Remember to take about 01 liter, before you drink your first cup - the first water comes too overcast.
Consumers BEWARE! The GE Smartwater GWF filter is not a replacement for the old 'Culligan' FXRC metal filter. Despite the available adapter, the new Smartwater GWF filter was designed for a newer 'high-pressure' system installed in GE refrigerators manufactured after 2001. On the older models using normal water pressure [mine is a GE Performance Profile] these filters do not work. They will seem fine at first, only to run to a trickle in less than a month. I burned through several of these at @ $40.00 each until I discovered the problem.
This is a filter is a fake! While the description claims it fits my model refrigerator it does not. The threads are completely different so it will not even screw in.
I purchased this MXRC filter to replace the FXRC Culligan filter that came with my GE refrigerator that I bought back in 1999.I just wanted to say that it works fine as there is some confusion as to whether the MXRC filter is a replacement for the FXRC Culligan filter - it is.
Long life, very reasonable price, and makes a noticable difference in the flavor of the ice.What's not to like?
It's an inline water filter.
The water tasted different post installation of the filter and even after several days of use. I cannot confirm if the seller sold a genuine GE filter OR an after market water-filter re-printed with GE logo on it.
It was time to replace the water filter in our GE Cafe refrigerator. As is typically the case, Amazon was the most economical source to purchase.
This is not the DA29-00003A, it is the DA29-00003B. The 3A is 500gal capacity and the 3B is 300gal. I brought this up to FiltersFast, where the product came from, and they said I could return it but would have to call me back with the shipping label info. They never called. Will never deal with them again. I installed the filter, since I'm stuck with it, and it does work fine in my Samsung fridge.
Shipped immediately, took it out of the box, ignored all the instructions and warnings as men do, unscrewed the other one, put this one in, filled up 2 big glasses of water to "flush it" and that was it.
