Chosen Solution
Ever since changing the filter nasty looking flakes and moldy looking flakes have been coming out of my water dispenser. GE is saying they need to send a tech out and before that I’d like to ask if anyone else has had this issue and see if there is a solution. Yes I’ve removed the faulty filter and replaced with the plug and have run vinegar thru the system multiple times with no success. Any advice is appreciated.
Hi @yimmygee I actually meant only the water supply outlet to the refrigerator, not the water supply in the premises in general, but since there’s no problem with the ice then it’s OK Looking at the parts for your model, there is a cold water tank (part #WR17X27627) in the refrigerator, where I assume the water is stored after it passes through the filter so that it is cooled down, so that cold water is available rather than water that is at the same temp as water straight from any faucet in the premises. I realize that you said that you flushed the system multiple times but it still may be that the problem is emanating from there. If you decide to check it out, here’s a video that may help. If you decide to replace it, search online using the part number only (shown above) to find other suppliers that may suit you better.
