Reddit reviews GENERAL ELECTRIC Plug Bypass Rfid Asm (WR17X23645)

I would call GE customer service and see if they have a recommendation. They might even send you a replacement filter.

Also, have you double checked the manual to see if there is a way to reset it or if it discusses this issue? If you didn't keep the original manual you can download one on GE's website.

I have a newer GE fridge (2 years old) mine does have a reset button for the water filter. At the same time I can't recall if the change filter light goes off automatically when changing the filter or not. But I do know that on mine the light is also a button and if you press it for 3 seconds the light turns off.

EDIT: If the light is bothering you before you get this resolved you can also put in the filter bypass that came in the fridge when you bought it - presuming you kept that part. If you don't have it you can buy a replacement bypass plug on Amazon.

Also, you can use the RFID chip from a bypass filter to hack your fridge in order to use the less expensive generic filters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEhzsNd2XBU
