The Water Filter Bypass is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It provides an alternative water supply route to bypass the refrigerator's built-in water filtration system. The bypass allows refrigerator water and ice dispensers to operate without water flowing through the installed filter cartridge.
Causes of a malfunctioning bypass can include mineral buildup inhibiting proper operation of the bypass valve, worn seals or O-rings not providing a tight seal or physical damage.
Symptoms include:
- Inability to bypass the water filter when needed
- Leaks from the bypass area
- The filter bypass not functioning or engaging properly
This OEM replacement is also compatible with refrigerator brands like Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and select Kenmore models.
