is this an original general electric piece?

There is no way to tell how mine came but it appears to be of OEM quality if it is not. Mine came in a box unwrapped just laying in there. The part fit fine however,the install in a PIA. A couple months later and all is good with part.

Yes it is actual. I think there was an electrical problem with the one I got. I have ordered another one thru someone else.

Yes it is original gorilla glass. Actually appears to be part pulled from used unit. Awesome, for those of us who had a horrible "oops" moment with our cherished S-III.

I don't know. As far as I can tell, it looks and works exactly like the original. The original worked perfectly for 7 years. I'd be happy if this one worked as well.

Yes it is a General Electric product 'Smartwater'. GEFX12P are filter replacements. Good luck.

I believe it is a replica. Also ended up having an electrical issue. We had to fix it so the cord would not "swivel" anymore. Otherwise it would turn on and off.

No, it is not. They claim it is, so I ordered one. It DOES NOT FIT. It's not the same size, nor the same shape, and the electrical connectors don't line up.

I don't think it's original... but it works just as perfect... you can buy it with no doubt...

I know this question is old, but in case anyone else looks... I just received one of these and it DOES REQUIRE A NEUTRAL. This is no longer a 45612, it is a newer version that appears under the 45612 search, AND the GE part number (12724) is listed as a 45612 under other internet searches. So beware... I think you can still find the real 45612 on other sites.

I went online and put in the model number of the microwave and was able to get a part number which was then available from Amazon. The part has no GE marking on it, but it appears to be an exact replacement for the original.

You can research the web or if you are not worried if its original then just try a Radio Shack store. They may or may not have it but it is worth a try.

Yes, it was an original as far as I can figure. I matched it up with the old part and it looked the same. I put all the new parts on last fall and closed up the filter until spring. Tried it out last week when I opened the pool and everything worked great. Saved myself a lot of money by doing it myself. Good luck.

I do not know about it being original but looks great and once I help the grandkids put it on right I believe it will be fine. If not , the sellers will do all they can to help me.

I couldn't tell you. I looked up the precise model number from the GE web site and then made sure to match it with the replacement. I would think you could do the same as well. Good luck!

In my case, it was, yes. I ordered two and each came with the small prongs to connect/clone with your existing one.
