My new (https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=96123.msg2002746#msg2002746) GE fridge is now telling me I have 8 days to replace the water filter.
The one from GE (https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/spec/RPWFE) is $54! and the same from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/GE-RPWFE-Refrigerator-Water-Filter/dp/B009PCI2JU) is a not-much-better $48.
What do others do?
Based on my research, with this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2F0LHC79EL2VW/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B009PCI2JU) confirming, GE makes it absurdly difficult to use a generic brand filter for less then half the price and I don't recall seeing the "filter by-pass" when I got the fridge..?

I just keep resetting the button. And I use tap water.

What's the difference between the RPWFE and model without the E.

The E ones are the newer ones that come with a coded chip so it knows if you are using a generic filter in which case it stops to function >:(
Not only that, each chip is unique to each filter so if you tried to take the chip off the oem filter and put in onto a generic filter it will detect it and also stop functioning.

This world is crazy! First with ink cartridges and now a filter for the fridge!
Give it some time and there will be many knock off water filters with chips that work.
