If you’re tired of buying expensive water filters for your GE fridge, or if your filter housing is leaking, this bypass plug might be the fix. It’s a direct replacement for part numbers WR17X33825, AP6989494, WR17X30044, and others. Basically, you screw this into your refrigerator’s filter slot instead of a filter – it allows water to bypass the filtration system so you can still use the dispenser and ice maker without a filter. Useful if you have a whole-house filter, if you’re waiting on a filter delivery, or if you just want to stop buying filters altogether. Compatible with many GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore models (check your model number against the huge list in the description to be sure). Installation is simple: remove the old filter, pop this in, and turn. No tools needed. Keep in mind: this does NOT filter water. It just lets water flow through. A handy, inexpensive part to have in your appliance toolkit.
