Description
Product Overview
The GLACIER FRESH Replacement Filter for GE Profile Opal Ice Makers combines advanced filtration technology with user‑friendly design to provide consistently clean, great‑tasting ice. Constructed from high‑quality plastic housing, the filter incorporates a 100% Sri Lankan coconut‑shell carbon block that is both lead‑free and BPA‑free. This NSF‑42 certified media reduces up to 97.9% of chlorine, while also trapping rust particles, sand, and other impurities that can affect water taste and ice clarity. Each filter measures 7.49″ D x 1.97″ W x 1.81″ H and weighs just 14.4 ounces, making it compact enough to fit discreetly within the ice maker compartment. The pack includes four individual filters, each pre‑tested for flow rate and durability, ensuring a three‑month lifespan or up to 200 gallons of filtered water, whichever comes first. The product is backed by a one‑week warranty and carries the UL‑listed part number GF54‑4P, guaranteeing compatibility with the GE Profile Opal Nugget Ice Maker series.
Usage
Designed specifically for the GE Profile Opal Nugget Ice Maker, this filter is ideal for home kitchens, office break rooms, and small commercial settings where premium ice quality is essential. Installation requires no tools—simply remove the existing filter, soak the new filter in clean tap water for five minutes, or rinse under running water for ten seconds, then insert it into the designated slot. The filter’s low‑profile design ensures a snug fit without interfering with the ice maker’s internal mechanisms. Once installed, the ice maker will resume normal operation, producing soft, chewable nugget ice that retains its shape longer than traditional cube ice. Regular replacement every three months maintains optimal water flow and prevents mineral buildup, which can otherwise lead to reduced ice production or off‑flavors. This filter is also suitable for use in environments where water quality varies, such as areas with hard water or occasional municipal water treatment changes.

FAQ
How often should I replace the filter?
For optimal performance, replace the filter every three months or after filtering approximately 200 gallons of water, whichever occurs first. This schedule helps maintain water flow and ice quality.
Is the filter compatible with all GE Opal ice makers?
The filter is engineered to fit GE Profile Opal Nugget Ice Makers. It matches the original part number GF54‑4P, ensuring a secure fit and proper operation for all compatible models.
Do I need to soak the filter before installation?
Yes, soaking the filter in clean tap water for five minutes or rinsing it under running water for ten seconds activates the carbon media and removes any residual dust from packaging.
Will the filter affect the ice maker’s warranty?
Using a certified replacement filter such as GLACIER FRESH does not void the manufacturer’s warranty, provided the filter is installed according to the instructions.
Can I use this filter with hard water?
The carbon block effectively reduces chlorine and odors, but for very hard water you may also consider a water softener to prevent mineral buildup in the ice maker.
