1.0 out of 5 stars New design is faulty and leaks constantly, February 24, 2010

By 

Greg S (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews

I have had my Frigidare refrigerator for about 5 years now. The filters used to have a thick housing over the two smaller cylinders and it worked wonderfully. I never experienced any problems with those filters. About 2 years ago they changed the design taking away the outer housing leaving only the two smaller cylinders. Since then I have been through 8 filters in two years. When you cover the outlet hole and blow into the inlet hole, you can see the water spirt out of the side of the cartridge. It doesn't always occur at the top seal; however, many times the leak is in the plastic but you can see where the seam glue has run down to the spot where it's leaking. It appears that the glue they are using is dissolving the weak plastic and causing it to leak. I'm not sure what you can do about it but I just save my receipts and take them back about every 2-4 months when they fail. It's a pain but the manufacturer won't do anything about it. I just won't buy another Frigidare in the future!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Tip About The Filter and Ice Maker, August 23, 2010

By 

Copy RuStar "AL Network Guy" (Huntsville, Alabama United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frigidaire WF2CB PureSource2 Ice And Water Filtration System, 1 Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)

First, I saw that one reviewer has a problem with leaking filters when used in an older Frigidaire. I've had no such problem with the original filter and two replacements that I've installed. (And yuck! to see what those filters have removed from the city water!) So, maybe higher than normal water pressure is the problem and could possibly be regulated. Just a thought.

My Rating:
The filters are 5-star performers but even at Amazon's lower price, I still consider them "pricey", so I dropped a star.

My Tip:
I kept my last filter in until performance (delivered water flow rate) had diminished considerably. It was sort of an experiment in economy. I was surprised when my ice maker started to jam with the under-sized "cubes" (they are actually shaped like half of a large thick coin) resulting from the slower water flow through the old filter. One or more of the ice ejector cogs would get jammed with one of the "runt" cubes. What obviously happens is that the water fill operation is controlled entirely by a timer, so reduced flow results in less water delivered to the tray cavities. The cycle continues and results in small cubes of ice for which the ejectors are not designed.

So my tip is that if you try to extend the life of the filter by accepting the slower water delivery rate, pay attention to the size of the ice cubes. When they are reduced to about two-thirds normal size, the ice maker is likely to become jammed. It's easy to see the problem after removing the cover from the ice maker, but the only solution is to install a new filter. Once I cleared the jam easily by hand but had to (carefully) use an ice pick the next time - and then immediately installed a new filter!

Regards,
EdB

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly as Ordered, June 26, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase

This product is an exact match for my Frigidaire. It slid right in and after a few glasses running through the system (to get rid of the air bubbles) things are running perfect again.
