Guest, You're on target. A bypass plug or bypass sytem is needed in some refrigerators, when you wish to disable the water filter system, and still have water supplied to the dispenser, with unfilterred water. You won't need two bypass assemblies. only one. Thanks and Good Luck

Helllo Michael! No, this model does not have any type of air filter. The only filter on this product is the water filter WF2CB. The refrigerator has insulation on the back, which could absorb the stinch of the skunk. Have you tried any fridge aid 78956 to help remove odors inside the refrigerator and freezer? You can also clean the entire interior of the refrigerator/freezer section to help remove the odor. Hope this helps!

Hello Nestor. As the filter is being used, it builds up more pressure due to filtering the debris out of the water. The more pressure it creates the more likely leaks will show up, if the connections are bad in the housing. Hope this helps.

Jeff G. for Model Number 253.52649301

I am about to send the filter bypass back. I am unable to get it to stay in place. I see how it clicks in and its secure when I install it. When I apply presure by using the water feature on the door the filter pops out and the water stops flowing. The part looks good. Unfortunately I long disoposed of the filter that was in there before, so I cant compare them. Is this the right part, should I order another of the same or is there some trick to keeping the part in place? Thank you

Hello Jeff. You will need to push the filter bypass in place until you feel it snap into the locked position. Hope this helps.

Hello David! If the water filter is leaking water out of the base it will need to be replaced. The base part number is 240396002. The water filter bypass 242227702 is used in place of a water filter in the case one does not need a filter on their refrigerator. Thanks.
