With whole house filtration and reverse osmosis attached to the refrigerator supply line, a $35 filter for the refrigerator seemed pretty redundant. I looked up my model. I found Appliance Parts Pros on line. I placed a order for a bypass that cost less than the filter replacement and replaced the filter saving me over $75 per year. No tools needed. The replacement snapped in as easily as the original and took less effort than writing this review.
I selected pliers as the tool I used, because the stupid form wouldn't list hands.
