    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.

      What is the bypass plug? Does it contain an RFID chip or can these be mass produced?
