Melinda, It does not appear that this unit requires a filter bypass plug.

Hi Dennis, Unfortunately, this model does not have a filter bypass.

Kenny, This unit does not require a filter and will just remove the filter.

E TASSE, Thanks for your question. There is no bypass listed for this model.

Jamie, Not all models will require a filter bypass. Try to run the unit without a bypass in it and see if it works.

SB, Yes, this water filter bypass ABN73019101 would be the correct one for your unit.

Hello Juliet, and thanks for your question. Unfortunately, the manufacturer doesn’t list a compatible bypass plug for the model number you provided. In many cases, that’s because the filter system is designed to operate only with a filter installed, relying on at least 20 psi of water pressure to flow properly through it instead of using a bypass.

That’s a good question, Bob. From the manufacturer info available, it looks like this model doesn’t use a bypass filter. What you can try is pulling the filter out and then seeing if water will dispense. If water comes through normally – the filter manifold has a built-in bypass, so you don’t need a separate one. If water doesn’t dispense – then the fridge does require the filter AGF80300704 to be installed.

Hello Jennifer, and thank you for your question. Based on the manufacturer's information, a bypass filter is not required for this model. The filter can be removed and it should work properly.

Hello Dave, thank you for contacting AppliancePartsPros.com That would lead me to suspect that you either have a stopped up water filter AGF80300702 or a bad filter head ADQ36011715.
