In this video, home renovation brothers Dave and Rich and Dave’s son, Caleb, show you how to replace a GE Cafe Refrigerator RPWFE Water Filter.
Replacing a GE Cafe water filter is not difficult, but you MUST know which type of water filter housing you have to determine how to remove the old filter and how to install the new one.
In this video, the refrigerator that we are working on has a gray water filter housing. This type of filter will be removed by pulling it straight out.
If you had a GE Cafe refrigerator with a blue water filter housing you would turn the filter one quarter turn to remove it and also turn the new filter one quarter turn to install it.
After the filter is removed, replace it with a genuine GE RPWFE water filter. A generic filter could possibly not work correctly.
With the gray water filter housing, simply push the filter straight into the housing, but don’t turn it. There are small grooves that you have to line up to keep it in place. Make sure to push until the filter is seated all the way.
After that, run the water dispenser for about 5 minutes, pouring out 2 gallons of water to make sure all of the air is purged from the lines.
Knowing how to fix a sliding glass door means saving a lot of money. It is easy and inexpensive. It may be as easy as replacing the rollers on which the sliding door rides. Typical problems with a sticking sliding glass door reside with a broken track or a track clogged with debris, or broken rollers. If a quick cleaning of the track doesn’t help, then it’s time to examine the rollers. To do this, follow this video and you’ll see how simple it is to remove the door and the rollers.
A sliding glass door can be removed by removing the stops and door guard. Then the sliding door can be lifted up and out to expose the rollers on the bottom of the door. The rollers fit into mortised pockets. The rollers can be pried out and inspected.
If you need a new roller, order one up from Amazon and in a couple of days you’ll have what you need to get your sliding glass door back into shape.
That’s it, hope this helps!

Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey explains the many options available for filtering drinking water. (See below for a shopping list and steps.)

Shopping List for How to Choose a Water Filter:
Pitcher-style water filter [https://amzn.to/2Ls4Kxc]
Faucet-mounted water filter [https://amzn.to/2NXQxtH]
Under-sink water filter [https://amzn.to/2ZUdDJ5]
Under-sink reverse-osmosis water filter [https://amzn.to/2O1PRDB]
Whole-house water filter [https://amzn.to/2NV4jxf]
Sediment filter [https://amzn.to/34FDkvB]
Steps for How to Choose a Water Filter:
1. The simplest way to filter tap water is with a pitcher-style water filter, which has a granulated carbon filter that improves taste and odor, and removes some chlorine and sediment.
2. Faucet-mounted filters have a switch that diverts tap water through a granulated carbon filter. Turn on the switch for filtered drinking water; flip it off when washing dishes.
3. For greater water filtration convenience and capacity, install an under-sink, dual-filter system that has its own gooseneck faucet.
4. For optimum point-of-use filtration, consider a reverse-osmosis system. Water passes through a series of three filters, resulting in extremely clean, pure drinking water.
5. Whole-house water filters are installed near the water main and are ideal for delivering clean, filtered water to every faucet throughout the entire house.
6. There are a variety of filters available to remove a wide range of impurities.
7. Sediment filters contain a stainless-steel pre-screen filter and back-flush system that automatically cleans the filter.
8. For the highest level of water filtration, first have your tap water tested, then call in a water-treatment specialist to install a whole-house filtration system designed specifically to treat your water.
