Part not free as stated in manual!!!
According to all the documentation with my refrigerator, this part was supposed to be free. It was not. I had used the fridge for 3 months; fridge said filter needed to be replaced; icemaker would not work. This is my third refrigerator. I’m not satisfied.

Water bypass is a great product.
I wanted the part because it enables the refrigerator to bypass a water filter, since my house has reverse osmosis. I’m very happy for a surprise benefit: the water stream is stronger and larger now!

We replaced the filter with a plug. The water tastes funny.
Hello Janice, Thank you for the question. If the water is no longer filtered within the appliance Water Filter, it would need to be filtered by an in house water filtration system before being supplied to the appliance. We hope this helps!

What is bypass plug# ?
For model number Gne 25jykfs
Hello Gary, thank you for your question. The bypass plug filter for your model number GNE25JSKKFSS is part number PS16217315. We hope this is what you were looking for!
My refrigerator uses a RPWFE filter and they are expensive. My unit says that it is expired even when no water is running thru it (vacation). Can I take it out and put in a bypass plug (WR01X29059) and reinstall when I return home?
For model number PFE28KMKKES
Hi Walter, thank you for reaching out. Yes, you can put in the bypass plug and reinstall the filter later. To install the water filter bypass, first open the left side door. On the side of the door, push on the bottom portion of the panel that covers the water filter to open it and lift up on the panel. After that, lift up the water filter, rotate it, and pull it out. Then lift up the panel, insert the water filter bypass, and push it in. You may then need to push it down to lock it into place. We hope this helps!

Is there a rfid chip in the bypass plug?
For model number Gfe28gmkes
Hello Amanda, thank you for writing. The bypass plug includes the RFID chip that tells the refrigerator to ignore the filter expiration timer and just let the user know that this is unfiltered water. We hope this helps.
