Clay December 20, 2021 for Model Number KRMF706EBS01 Is there a water filter bypass plug for this model? I can not seem to find one anywhere. Water seems to be making it to the filter but will not dispense from the door. I installed the new filter, ran two gallons through as it states to do, but then it stopped dispensing?? Any idea what it could be? Thank you, Clay
1 Answer Clay, This unit does not require a filter bypass and you will just remove the filter. For the issue that you are having this would be a filter head assembly that is faulty. Read More...
