How To Bypass The Water Filter On A Electolux Refrigerator

• #one

I have the Electrolux Icon side-past-side (from what I can tell, a patently-one-time Frigidaire with $2000 worth of fancy advent and stainless on it) and it is a really mediocre fridge for the cash. I would not recommend it to anyone. Merely it looks really nice and has blue illumination It's been serviced three times in the year nosotros've had it.

Anyway,

I accept an RO filter on the line feeding the refrigerator due to the fluoride content in our water (communal system, bedrock wells/treatment plant). There is sufficient water pressure out of the RO, and so I'm assuming it's the water filter in the refrigerator that causes there to be a mere trickle at the dispenser? It's agonizing to get a glass of water (ii min +). My dogs drinkable a lot, so we spend a good part of our day continuing at the fridge.

I want to bypass the filter. The only logical impedance to the menstruum seems to be the filter. I come across at that place is a bypass available. Tin can't I merely pull the in and out lines from the filter thingie and couple them together with 50 cents in parts from Dwelling house Depot? I don't need the filter at all.

Nope, I wouldn't exercise that.

This is what you demand to do, pull your fridge out from the wall, turn off your RO water to the refrigerator, take off the water supply line that connects to your fridge'south water inlet valve, then get a container and plow on your RO h2o and see if it simply trickles in the container, if it does, then the problem withal is in your RO h2o pressure.

Lots of water going into the fridge, hardly whatsoever coming out. I went to the depot and loa nd behold the hoses I need to connect in the refrigerator seem to exist half way between the two sizes o quick connect couplers I could find at the 'depot. Bah. I might have to become the stupid bypass even so!

EDIT!

The local habitation hardware had the plumbing fixtures, $2.89. Bypassed the filter and the pressure is fantastic. Water tastes better...? Possibly the filter was no good, though only a yr old and existence fed already filtered water. Who knows, who cares. It'due south fixed!
