Customer Questions and Answers for Water Filter Bypass by Frigidaire

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.
