Best Seller
Manufacturer Part
4.89 (64)

Part Number: OEM6232038
Manufacturer Part Number: WS15X10012

This bypass valve assembly installs on the water softener head and allows you to route household water around the softener for maintenance or emergencies. A worn valve may leak or bind; replacing it restores reliable switching between service and bypass.

  • Directs water either through the softener or around it for service
  • Lets you isolate the softener during maintenance or troubleshooting
  • Common symptoms: leaks at the bypass, handle hard to turn or stripped, unit stuck in bypass, unexpected hard water
  • Helps maintain proper flow and makes service/bypass selection consistent
What's included: One bypass valve assembly. Install notes:
  • Unplug the softener and shut off the water supply; open a nearby faucet to relieve pressure
  • Note port orientation; transfer any seals/clips from the old assembly if applicable
  • Lightly lubricate O-rings with silicone-based grease during reassembly
  • Restore water and power, then check for leaks and proper service/bypass operation

Michael for Model Number GXSF27E

When I click on item #152 in the diagram for the gasket O-Ring on the Valve By-Pass Assembly, a Drain Hose Adapter Kit pops up for the part. These two things are completely different! I need the gasket O-Ring for the two ends of the Valve Assembly that attach to the softener. A previous person mentioned this, but the number you give just links back to the Drain Hose Adapter Kit, which is incorrect. What is the part number for those O-Ring Gaskets?

Hello Joan, If you have been satisfied with the unit it will most likely be cheaper to have it repaired than to replace. Ultimately, it is your decision.

Mike, item number 151 is the bypass valve. The diagram has two item numbers 151 to show you a break down of the part with the clips and then the bottom break down shows the additional parts connected to the bypass valve. The model number supplied, GXSF35E, is a partial model number. To verify the bypass valve assembly used on your model we'll need the full appliance model number. Please repost for further assistance. Thanks.
