GE Refrigerator Water Filter Bypass - WR01X29059

Restore refrigerator water flow without an internal filter with this genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Water Filter Bypass - WR01X29059. This bypass plug installs in the refrigerator filter housing so water can flow to the dispenser and ice maker when a filter is not being used.

Fits These Brands / Families: Fits select GE bottom-mount and French-door refrigerators that use the RPWFE-style filter bypass plug, including many GFE, PFE, CFE, PYE, GYE, DFE, GNE, PWE, and Cafe refrigerator platforms.

Fitment / What To Verify: Use this bypass only where the model calls for WR01X29059. Verify filter housing style, original filter type, and whether the customer is intentionally bypassing filtration, such as when using treated whole-house water.

Please confirm fitment with your appliance model number before ordering.
