Hello Karen, unfortunately the manufacturer does not have a bypass cap for the unit. The red light will remain on as the unit senses no filter present or it thinks it is installed incorrectly. Hope this helps!

Damon, you should not need a by-pass plug with this model, when you remove the filter, there is a built-in by-pass that is located in the filter housing that should allow water to go through without a filter installed.

Keith Rutherford for Model Number WRF767SDHZ

Just purchased a Whirlpool refrigerator with the ice makers. The filter for this model runs around $50. I have an RO unit in my house which I used with the previous frig and all was fine. I would like not to use this filter which I have installed just to get water and ice working. Is there a bypass plug for this model (WRF767SDHZ) or will it auto bypass as you stated in another answer you gave? Or, will I have to use a filter always? Thank You, Keith

1 Answer

Keith, if you remove the water filter and you can still get water to dispense through the front door dispenser, then it has a built-in by pass, if it won't,, then you will have to leave the filter installed, there is not a by-pass for this model.
