Ge refrigerator error code ERR cheap & easy fix

[@tammibrabham1720]

New filter is XWFE, says Genuine GE, and is labeled the same as original. However the plug-in end looks different, and my water/ice do NOT work. Reinstalled original; it works.

I have a ge gss25gypjcfs. The filter was installed properly but there's an ERR. What should I do

I'd be getting rid of that sense of straight away to make it so that I can put any filter in and it won't fail

You’ll know you got the correct filter when you look at the price and think, $55?, WTF?

Is there any way to "hot wire" that anti-consumer bs
I'm guessing the constant beeping the fridge decides to give off when the filter is "bad" because that's what I am dealing with. It's inconsistent on what beeps it does.. Sometimes it's just two... Other times it's 20+.

Or it's the proprietary connectors, annoying little things that they do in these...
