WR01X29059 General Electric Water Filter Bypass Plug Assembly for Ge Refrigerators

Water Filter Bypass Plug Assembly for GE Refrigerators.

This product is compatible with various brands including Hotpoint, General Electric, and select Sears-Kenmore models. The Water Filter Bypass Plug serves as a direct OEM replacement for GE refrigerators, designed to bypass the water filter. This function is crucial when the filter is either defective or due for replacement, allowing water to flow directly from the supply line to the ice maker and water dispenser.

The need for a bypass plug typically arises from a malfunctioning water filter that fails to adequately remove sediment and contaminants. It also facilitates the testing of water flow and pressure, which is essential for troubleshooting filter-related problems.

Indications that a bypass plug may be necessary include:

- Presence of sediment or debris in ice cubes
- Cloudy or impure water output from the dispenser
- Slow ice production or decreased filling speed in the ice maker
- Error alerts concerning the water filter

This bypass plug is also suitable for use with other refrigerator models from Hotpoint, RCA, and certain Kenmore units.
