I have a hard time believing that GE has been dealing with a lot of warranty claims because people are using after market filters. Couple that with that a filter that runs more than 2x the off-brand one runs, and it looks a lot like a money grab.

You can’t even really get genuine warranty claims addressed. There’s always a catch: labor not included, part in order, no fridge for 4 days until tech can return.
