GЕ MWF GE Refrigerator Water Filter GE MWF water filter replacement 3-Pack

Why aren’t my ge replacement filters lasting as long? same refrigerator, same water. absolutely no change!

Are these genuine General Electric with different print run/version.

Is it same as mwf smartwater filter?

so are these legitimate ? i received a refund from amazon months later saying these were counterfeit and to discard them as soon as possible?
