GE Refrigerator GFE28GSK: Why are moldy looking particles coming out of my water dispenser?

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 09:38:03 -0700

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.

@jayeff.

I finally ordered and have replaced the cold water reservoir. Upon removal of old reservoir it was filled up with slime/mold. The new reservoir seems to be performing great with nothing other than water coming out.

Thank you again for the advice and parts source.

The freezer seams fine but the fruit and vegetable drawers are icing up and the refrigerator doesn't seam to be getting cold enough. Checked temperature settings, clean coils and it still freezing bottom drawers. GE GFE28GSKISS
