WR17X33825 General Electric Refrigerator Bypass Water Filter Plug for Ge Appliances

Refrigerator Bypass Water Filter Plug for GE Appliances.

This OEM part is compatible with several GE brands including Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, and Profile. The Bypass Filter Plug serves a crucial function in GE refrigerators, especially when a water filter is not in use. It ensures the continuity of the water flow system by allowing water to circumvent the filtration unit. This feature is beneficial if a replacement water filter is unavailable or if the household water is already sufficiently clean, eliminating the need for further filtration.

Issues with a defective bypass plug may disrupt the operation of the refrigerator's water and ice dispensers. Indicators of a malfunctioning Bypass Filter Plug are:

- Water leakage or dripping near the dispenser.
- Challenges when inserting or removing the plug from its housing.
- A noticeable reduction in water flow from the dispenser, which may suggest a blockage or a poor fit.

This part is also suitable for use with certain models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.
