Part 11037377 Refrigerator Water Filter Bypass Cartridge
Purpose
Bypasses the water filtration system while maintaining fluid flow.
Details
The refrigerator water filter bypass cartridge is designed for use when an active charcoal or chemical water filter is not desired or needed within the appliance. When installed in the main filter housing head, this component completes the mechanical fluid loop, allowing water to flow continuously and at full pressure to the automatic ice maker and front-door water dispenser. It physically screens out larger particles and sediment but does not strip out chlorine or chemical minerals. Using a dedicated bypass plug ensures the system remains completely sealed, eliminates filter change notification alerts, and eliminates the regular maintenance costs of purchasing replacement carbon filters.
Included Items
One water filter bypass cartridge plug featuring a simple twist-and-lock configuration.
