Comment on Refrigerators have DRM on them, To force you to buy $50 water filters or it won't dispense water
QuadratureSurfer@piefed.social 3 months agoFor 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?

Super late reply, but for anyone else coming across this thread later:
The bypass plug allows you to bypass the normal filter in your fridge and hook it up to an external filter.
It does contain an RFID chip.
