How to Bypass the Filter in a GE Profile Performance Refrigerator
- 1). Open the GE Profile Performance refrigerator door, and remove items from the top shelf of the refrigerator so you have complete access to the water filter in the upper right-hand corner of the unit. Place a towel on the shelf below the water filter to catch the small amount of water that spills when disconnecting the filter.
- 2). Grab the filter cartridge with your fingers, and turn it counterclockwise. It is not necessary to pull down on the cartridge when turning. Once the filter disengages from the housing, remove it from the refrigerator.
- 3). Hold the GE filter plug by the handle. One end of the plug looks similar to the end of the filter cartridge with an o-ring around the circumference. Insert the o-ring end of the GE filter plug into the filter housing, and twist it clockwise until it locks into position.
- 4). Restock the refrigerator shelf with any contents you removed, and close the refrigerator door.
