Customer Questions and Answers for Water Filter Bypass Plug by Whirlpool

Jeffrey, there is not a bypass for this model as there is none needed. If you remove the filter, there is a bypass built into the housing assembly.

Your refrigerator does not require a bypass filter. If you remove the filter from the housing and place the cap from the filter back into position, your unit will work.

Hello Paul, your unit does not require a water filter bypass. All you have to do is remove the water filter out and it automatically bypasses too. Thanks!

Julie, your model may not need a bypass plug, remove the filter and try running water through the dispenser, if water comes out, your filter housing has a built-in bypass. The filter bypass you are asking about will not work on your model.

Hello Javas, On the model provided, there is no bypass plug. It will pass unfiltered water normally when the filter is removed. If not or if the filter leaks, there is a problem with the filter housing.

Sue, This issue would be more likely that the filter head is faulty and there is no bypass plug for this unit.

Musmeg, No you do not need a bypass plug for the WRS325FDAM04. Remove the filter dry up any water spillage, or residual water in the housing and close and "snap" the filter door shut. The housing will automatically supply water to the dispenser and ice maker. You will need to reset the "filter status" light occasionally.

Larry, To bypass this filter you would simply remove the filter from the unit as it auto bypasses.

Gary, No, you will not need a "bypass plug", the filter head will automatically bypass the filter chamber when the filter is removed. You will need to reset the filter status light occasionally. Thanks,

John, This unit does not dispense the water without the filter. There is a filter reset on your user interface and I believe its the last button on the right press and hold until it counts down and it resets. Also, this unit does not use a bypass plug.
