Customer Questions and Answers for Plug by Whirlpool

Linda, No, you won't need a "bypass plug" for your refrigerator " NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a filter. Your water will not be filtered. Simply insert the cap all of the way into the base grille and rotate the cap until it is firmly in place." However, you will have to reset the "change filter" system, occasionally, depending on water and ice usage.

Hello John. No, just remove the filter from the unit to bypass the filter in the unit. Thanks.

Scott, This unit would not need a bypass plug as it will auto bypass when the filter is removed.

Hello Suzanne. No, when you remove the filter it automatically bypasses the filter. Thanks.

Gbe, If you're referring to a "water filter bypass plug" you don't need one. The water filter housing has an "automatic" bypass mechanism internally, Remove the filter, wipe up any spillage, close and snap the filter door so it's locked in place, and you're done. The water wont be filtered, presume you have a reverse osmosis unit or a "whole house" filter system.
