Bryan January 13, 2018 for Model Number ffhs2611pfea The water dispenser is not working and there is no sound. Could it be the motor is not functioning? The ice maker still works though.
2 Answers Bryan, There is no "motor" involved when dispensing water from the fountain. Since the " ice maker still works " it's not likely a filter or filter base problem. You'll probably want to start by checking / replacing the water inlet valve 242252702 on the back of the refrigerator. Read More...

John July 17, 2017 for Model Number FGHC2331PFAA Looking to run RO system to refrigerator. What is bypass part for my model? Also is non-electrical system such as Brondell Circle able to provide sufficient water pressure to refrigerator once bypass is installed?
1 Answer Hello John, The filter bypass for the model provided is 242294402. Most Reverse Osmosis systems do not provide enough water pressure to properly close the water valve since the water pressure is all that closes the water valve. Most systems require the installation of a pump to increase the water pressure for this purpose. Be aware that the washing machine, dishwasher, and any other units with a water valve requires from 50 to 100 PSI of water pressure for normal operation to occur. Read More...
Rhonda June 12, 2017 for Model Number Ffhb2740ps6a A by pass is installed, 2 years. Now my water (not the ice) smells like sewer water. Is it also necessary to replace.
1 Answer Rhonda, This would most likely be the water reservoir that is causing the water to have a foul odor and you may also want to use a filter in the unit. Read More...

Elaine January 15, 2017 I have a Frigidare three-door fridge hooked up to an RO system. Recently the fridge stopped making ice and the water dispenser flow became a trickle. I changed the filters on the RO unit and for literally about 20 seconds I had spectacular flow from the dispenser--then air in the line and then a trickle again. I replaced the fridge water filter with a plug in the hopes of bypassing that filter and relying only on the RO water--now I have no flow at all. I ordered the correct filter plug and have it installed correctly--but nothing. Any suggestions??
1 Answer Elaine, The most likely problem is the filter base 240396002 was damaged sometime during the removal of the filter and installation of the bypass filter. The internal mechanism is most likely not allowing the water to flow through the filter base and into the water system of the refrigerator. When you attach a refrigerator water/dispenser system to a RO filter system, in most cases you will have to remove the water filter and install a bypass plug. The fluctuating water pressure, especially during the reversal process of the filter system wreaks havoc on the water system in the refrigerator. Read More...

Toddb December 09, 2014 for Model Number glrs267cw0 I have the bypass filter 242227702 installed. It was working fine. Now when either the water dispenser or ice maker starts the filter pops out and gets water everywhere. Does the bypass filter go bad? Is there a way to change the water line to bypass that all together?
