Bradley July 15, 2023 for Model Number RF23J9011SG/AA I recently had a Culligan Water Purification System in and need a Samsung or compatible Bypass Water Filter, Cap or what will work. I believe by reading other responses that I may not need a cap or filter and the water will flow without leaking out where the filter is.
Bob May 19, 2020 for Model Number RF263TEAESG/AA Basically same question here for my model number. I have a whole house filter. If I just pull the filter, will it drain water all over? Do I need a bypass cap of some type? Thanks.
1 Answer Bob, the filter can be removed as the filter head has a bypass built into the assembly. If water does leak continuously, this is an indication that the filter head DA97-08006D has failed and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Loren June 06, 2019 for Model Number RF23HCEDBSR/AA I have model RF23HCEDBSR/AA refrigerator that is fed with an RO system. The flow is slow so I want to omit the filter cartridge and replace it with what my plumber called a bypass cartridge that has no element on the inside. Where can I find one, or is there another solution?
1 Answer Loren, there is not a bypass filter listed in the parts diagram for your model. This model should be able to operate with the water filter removed and should not stop water from flowing to the dispenser or icemaker. Read More...
Wesley February 15, 2019 for Model Number RFG298HDRS/XAA-0000 I also do have a RO system that I would like to obtain a bypass plug. Any suggestions with this model as I'm no longer able to locate the plug for purchase.
1 Answer Wesley, for this model you should be able to just remove the filter and the water will work according to the manufacturer information. Read More...
Maggie January 29, 2019 Regarding last answer....no, the ice maker was not working properly before removing the filter. It was icing up and so ice was not producing. So we were told we needed a bypass cap but cannot find one.
1 Answer Maggie, the ice cabin commonly gets an air leak at the bottom portion where it connects to the wall. If you use the sealant DD81-04511A around the bin on the inside portion up against the wall it will stop air from leaking through and freezing up the ice maker. Your refrigerator should not need a bypass filter so if you remove the filter water should come through. There is not a bypass cap or filter listed for your unit so it should be fine to just remove the filter. Read More...
Maggie January 29, 2019 for Model Number RF263BEAESR/AA-0000 We have reverse osmosis and we're told we needed a bypass cap. Can't find one. We have taken out the filter but ice is not producing. But as is, it keeps icing up and doesn't work well. Ugh! Is there a part to fix this?
1 Answer Maggie, If the ice was working properly prior to removing the filter then this issue would most likely be caused by a filter head or a faulty water valve. Read More...
Mike August 28, 2018 for Model Number RF23J9011SR/AA I too have installed a reverse osmosis unit on my RF23J9011SR/AA Samsung Frig. Do I need a plug/cap to bypass the water filter in the frig? After replacing the filters in my reverse osmosis I can't get the water and ice unit to work with or without the frig water filter. Wondering since it takes a long time to replace the reverse osmosis filters and to flow water through the system to clean out the sanitization procedure, could somehow the lines in the frig froze? I did turn the water off overnight to the frig during the filter replacement and cleaning of the reverse osmosis unit. It does look like I am getting water to the frig filter because when I pull out this filter, there is some water in the filter and around the filter receptacle. I have tried numerous times taking out the frig filter and putting back with no luck getting water/ice out of the frig. All of this did work correctly before I replaced the filters on the reverse osmosis unit.
1 Answer Mike, There is not a bypass cap that would be needed for this unit. For this issue it would be recommended to check to see if the lines are frozen. If this checks ok then it is possible that the water valve is faulty. Read More...
Kyle September 28, 2017 for Model Number RF4267HAWP/XAA I need a filter bypass plug for this unit. Seems like it would be a longer type rather than just a cap? Having difficulty getting any help. Do you know a part number for this refrigerator for a bypass?
1 Answer Kyle, There is not a bypass plug that would be needed for this unit. You would simply pull the filter out and not put anything in because the filter head will auto bypass the water. Read More...
Dianne June 15, 2017 for Model Number RF28JBEDBSG/AA We had a reverse osmosis system installed and they said we should get a bypass filter (or dummy filter he called it). Is there one for my model number?
1 Answer Dianne, This unit does not require a bypass plug for it and would just remove the filter. Read More...
Clarence May 29, 2017 for Model Number samsung RF28HMEDBSR/AA-12 I need a filter bypass plug to operate with RO system.
1 Answer Hello Clarence, There is no bypass valve for this model. Removal of the filter should allow water to be dispensed without being filtered. Read More...
