Filter Bypass Plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water
leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when
a replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some
models do not come equipped with the filter bypass
plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, visit us on-line at
geappliances.com/service,Q&DQDGDYLVLW
geappliances.ca/service. The dispenser and icemaker
will not operate without either the filter or the bypass plug
installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way
as a filter cartridge.
