I bought one of these as part of an appliance packaged when I remodeled my kitchen. 6 months later I learned about all of this and did the filter bypass ‘hack’ mentioned elsewhere. This single act of stupidity by GE has solidified I will never buy an appliance from them ever again. This act of requiring ‘authentic’ filters is intentionally and without question anti-consumer to chase a few dollars but as long as the others don’t follow suit they’re shooting themselves in the foot because consumers will flee.
How long before we see an article about consumers repairing and chasing down ancient refrigerators that are sadly inefficient but at least repairable?
