    I discovered this when I put a reverse osmosis system in and wanted to bypass the filter. I needed a $50 plastic plug with an RFID tag in it or else the fridge refused to dispense.

      For anyone with one of these GE fridges. If you read the fine print in the owner’s manual, they will send you a bypass plug for free (just once) if you call and ask for one. You will need to provide the serial number of the fridge.

          Super late reply, but for anyone else coming across this thread later:

          The bypass plug allows you to bypass the normal filter in your fridge and hook it up to an external filter.

          It does contain an RFID chip.
