Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Ice And Water Filter by Whirlpool

Amber,

According to the manufacturer, this would be normal and no way to change it.

Hello Robert, thank you for contacting Appliance Parts Pros.
This unit does not need a filter bypass plug to dispense water without the filter in place, there is no way to turn off the replace filter light without a filter though. If the current OEM everydrop filter does not resolve the leaking issue it is possible you will need to replace the filter head W11482384/W11482384.

Hello Robert, thank you for contacting Appliance Parts Pros.
You should be able to just remove the filter, this model should not need a bypass cartridge to dispense water without the filter in place. The Replace Filter light will remain lit if there is no filter in place, but should not impact the operation of the unit otherwise.

Ken, the filter would be reset by pressing the Options button, then press Lock to initiate the reset, then press Measured Fill to confirm the status light reset. However, this will not permanently turn off the indicator as it will illuminate the reset filter around the normal time a filter would need to be replaced.

Joe, a bypass would not be necessary for the model number provided. The filter can just be removed and it should work properly.

Ted, the filter can be removed and a bypass would not be necessary.

Wilmsinger,

In most cases, on the dispenser there will be one or 2 buttons that you would push and hold for 3 seconds to reset the light.

Diane, the filter EDR2RXD1 can be removed and the water lines will work properly.

John, a bypass would not be needed with the model number provided.

Jeremy,

There is no filter bypass needed for this unit.
