perfect fit!
It was a very simple fix. The old part out and the new one in. The part arrived promptly and was the correct one this time. (I had ordered the wrong part before!)

Worked Perfectly!!
I would especially like to say a big 'Thank You' to the lady who reviewed my order for a bypass water filter for my Fridgidaire fridge.I had received one filter which turned out to be the wrong one by two numbers, on the model number. But this lady, who worked quite diligently, ensured that without doubt, what she was sending would be the correct replacement filter, deserves a medal. I'm sorry that I didn't make a note of her name, but I'm sure you will know who it is by the part number. Please thank her for doing a great job.

Does the bypass filter still filter water?
For model number FGSS2335TFSS
Hello Bill, Thank you for the question. The Water Filter Bypass will not filter the water. It is used to plug the filter housing so the water bypasses the filter and goes directly tot he ice maker or dispenser. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

I replaced my frig filter with a by pass filter 7 years ago. The water dispenser has gotten very slow and the ice maker is not making enough ice any longer. Does the by pass filter need to be replaced ?
For model number FGHC2355PF5
Hello Pam, Thank you for the question. With no filter in place, you may have a build up in the waterlines that is causing the water to flow at a flower rate effecting the ice maker and dispenser. We hope this helps!

Why does the manufacturer suggest that the bypass filter be replaced every 2 years. It is a plastic hollow tube. Is it just for $$$. My house has a whole house water filter.
For model number Frigidaire 242294402 Water Filter Bypass Plug, White
Hi Gerald, thanks for your question! Water may sit in the bypass plug when the filter is not used, and buildup can occur occasionally. You may not need to necessarily replace the bypass plug (or any other water lines through your fridge) during the time you have it, but they should be inspected, cleaned and replaced as needed. I hope this answers your question! Please submit a new question if you have any follow ups.

How often should this filter be chaged
For model number 242294402
Hello Jannie, thank you for writing. It is recommended to change the Water Filter at least once every six months. This is the Water Filter Bypass Plug though. If you can provide the model number for your refrigerator, we can locate the correct Water Filter for you.
