Water filter on GE 19 Fridge

This is a heads up to those who have this residential fridge. Ours is in our 2021 3791RD.
The OEM XWFE water filter has a RFID chip glued to it. If you purchase some of the generic water filters, they may not have the chip and the solenoid for the water dispenser and ice maker will not open for the water supply if it does not sense the RFID chip. Ours showed a ERR error message for the filter. The generic filters are way less expensive but buyer beware - they may not work. Once I installed a OEM filter, everything worked as it should.

If you have RV setup with full filtering and are happy with it, you can request a filter bypass plug from GE at no charge. It goes where filter is and ice maker then works.

It was listed in manual. I don’t have access to my manual at the moment, but I think you call GE parts with refrigerator model #.

From website
If the plastic bypass plug was not supplied with the refrigerator or has been misplaced, one can be ordered at no charge by calling 1-800-GECARES. In Canada, call 1-800-561-3344.

Cool. I believe I can do that. This is our first year with the rig and wishing I had that thing when I went to winterize it. Had no idea about that RFID chip on the filter, seems a little odd but will be checking that.

We eliminated water to our residential fridge. There is a valve in the nearby cabinet which was shut off. I didn't want one more point of failure. We use a Brita pitcher and old fashioned ice cube trays!
