Description

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.
