I have had 2 in six months cracked. They always crack right at the top under the flange that holds it in place.

I have the exact same problem. Two filters have cracked in less than a year. My kitchen floor has flooded twice. The filter model is GE SmartWater MSWF. Is there another brand that's compatible with my refrigerator?

Same here. Water flooded into Living and Dining room. Thousands of $$ of damage. It cracked near the end connected to the fridge. Now we are so paranoid, we turn the water to the fridge off when we are gone.

It looks like the problem is more wide-spread than just the filter in a refridgerator. I had a GE faucet water filter model GXFM03C. It worked fine for about 6 months and then cracks developed on the top of the filter housing. I used epoxy glue to seal it and it worked for another 6 months, but then it cracked again. This time the crack was too big to fix. I have seen other people had the same experience with their water faucet filter according to their reviews on Amazon.com.

Seems this is an ongoing issue, for sure. We just hours ago came home to a completely flooded kitchen, living room and finished basement. Insurance is still yet to determine the thousands of dollars in damage. The base of the filter was completely blown out the bottom.
