The Bypass Filter Plug is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is used when a water filter is not installed. The bypass plug is essential for maintaining the refrigerator's water flow system, allowing water to bypass the filtration process. This is particularly useful during times when a replacement water filter is not immediately available or in situations where the household water supply is already adequately purified and additional filtration is not necessary.

Common causes of issues with the bypass filter plug include physical damage from handling, wear and tear over time, or improper installation. A faulty bypass filter plug can disrupt the water flow and affect the performance of the water dispenser and ice maker.

Symptoms of a bad Bypass Filter Plug include:

• Leakage or dripping from the water dispenser area.
• Difficulty in installing or removing the plug from the filter housing.
• Decreased water flow rate through the dispenser, indicating a potential blockage or improper fit.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Manifold & Housing are OEM components specifically designed for GE refrigerators. This part includes both the manifold which distributes water and the outer housing that protects it. 

The manifold & housing work together to deliver filtered water to the refrigerator's dispenser and ice maker. It is responsible for efficiently directing water flow and ensuring reliable operation of components that require water. 

Symptoms of a bad manifold & housing include:

• Low water pressure at the dispenser 
• Streaking or staining around water line connections
• Ice maker or dispenser malfunctions due to lack of water
• Dripping or leaks from manifold or housing areas

This OEM GE part is specifically designed to fit your model fridge. It is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models for a factory fit and like-new performance.
 

The GE XWFE Refrigeration Water Filter is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This advanced water filter is designed to reduce a wide range of contaminants, including chlorine, lead, cysts, and select pharmaceuticals, providing clean and safe drinking water and ice. It seamlessly integrates into the refrigerator's filtration system, ensuring optimal water quality.

You should replace this water filter if it becomes clogged or reaches the end of its lifespan, typically every six months. Common causes of a bad water filter include excessive contaminants, improper installation, or failure to follow the replacement schedule.

Symptoms of a bad water filter include:

• Reduced water flow from the dispenser
• Unpleasant taste or odor in water and ice
• Cloudy or discolored water

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Temperature Sensor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators, designed to accurately monitor and relay the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments to the electronic control board. By detecting the slightest changes in internal temperature, the sensor allows the control board to make real-time adjustments to the cooling system, activating the compressor and fans as needed to maintain optimal conditions for food preservation.

Over time, the temperature sensor can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or general wear and tear. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to improper temperature regulation, affecting the efficiency of the refrigerator and the freshness of stored food.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Sensor include:

• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the set temperature 
• The appliance running continuously or more frequently than normal
• Inaccurate temperature readings displayed  

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
