“Does this refrigerator "require" a water filter to dispense water/make ice? I have an RO system for my frig and dont need an overly expensive charcoal filter. I presently have a Samsung that requires a filter with no way to bypass, so $70 every 6 months”

This question is for: GE - 27.8 Cu. Ft. French Door in Door Refrigerator

Hi Joe3- No, the water filter is not required. Simply install the filter bypass plug if you choose not to use the built-in water filter option. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge. See page 17 of the Owner's Manual: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-60764.pdf - Thanks for choosing GE. Enjoy! SUEatGEA

Online, I found this: http://homeguides.sfgate.com/install-filter-bypass-plug-ge-refrigerator-83916.html Something about installing a "filter bypass plug". Hope this helps.

Afraid so. It is in the side wall and is definitely in between the water line and the line for the ice/water panel.
