For GE water filter MFINT. Same problem. Examined old and new filter saw that the ARROW that tells you where to insert the filter caused the filter to actually be installed incorrectly so it could not open the water line ,therefore getting the hammering noise.
Installed it with the arrow facing the back of the fridge and voila, it works perfectly!
Manufacturing defect??? The fact that the old filter worked every time I put it back in made me believe the filter was the problem, not the fridge!
