I need a bypass filter for my Frigidaire refrigerator, Model FSC23F7DSB. I have an RO unit pumping water to the frige but hte filter in the refrigerator is doing two things. First it is contaminating the good RO water and it is slowing down the flow of water in the refrigerator door. Thanks, John Gatrell

Good Morning Friend,

I understand that you want to know the warranty on your Frigidaire refrigerator, model# FSC23F7DSB. There is a one year warranty, where the manufacturer will pay all costs for repairing or replacing any parts of this appliance which prove to be defective in materials or workmanship. This does exclude original and replacement ice & water filter cartridges (if equipped). Original and replacement cartridges are warranted for 30 days (parts only).

There is a second through fifth year warranty on the cabinet liner and sealed system. This means the manufacturer will repair or replace any parts in the cabinet liner or Sealed Refrigeration System (compressor, condenser, evaporator, drier and tubing) which prove to be defective in materials or workmanship. Check with the manufacturer for any further details. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

the internal heater of the unit is not functioning and the defrost system allso check the mechanical timer of the defrost or if the unit does not have a mechanical timer it is build in in the PC board change hte PC board then it will go back to normal

hello.
i know such thing exist but i am having a hard time finding a part number for it. A alternative would be to in essence bypass the ref.filter this way.
The water line on the back of the refrig where the house plumbing connects to feeds directly into the filter first then out of the filter into the water valve to be dispensed to icemaker and door dispenser.you could connect the water supply from the RO system directly to the water valve instead of connecting the RO to the inline refrig filter.

you probably have very poor quality water coming into the house. install an RO unit under sink and plumb refer into it.

IF YOU HAVE IT HOOKED TO A REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM, YOU SHOULD REMOVE THE FILTER CARTRIDGE AND OBTAIN A BYPASS PLUG. IF NO RO UNIT, YOUR WATER VALVE IS MORE THAN LIKELY THE CAUSE. BEFROE CONDEMNING IT THOUGH, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD WATER SUPPLY AND PRESSURE TO THE REFRIGERATOR AS THE VALVES RELY ON WATER PRESSURE TO SHUT OFF AND SEAL.

locate water filter bracket(normally in fridge compartment), then use screwdriver to remove from the frame. You will see two plastic pipes connected to this bracket. one will be water in and the other water out. pull the two off the bracket and join them together. (be inventive). Connect your RO system to the main inlet after original water supply is removed. Remember, your "filter to be replaced" light will still flash after a period as the fridge has its own software, counting depressions for cartridge replacement. (you would painstakingly have to reset.}

in the water supply line to but well before the refrigerator fit a ceramic water filter
that has a filter so fine that many germs cannot pass through

Your best bet is to shut the unit down for a while and let it defrost. You've probably got your box set too cold. 0-5 degrees on freezer...38-42 on fridge side. If your unit is not digital, use a regular outdoor thermometer, close the door for half an hour and then open to read it. Adjust accordingly. If too cold...you're using too much energy, too.

GodofHops: The motor that you hear on the refrigerator is the water pump that carries the water to your dispenser. If no water is coming from the dispenser. You have to check 3 things: 1. If there's any water. 2. Water filter clogged. 3. Water line for dispenser clogged with minerales carried on water flow. SithPitt
