Hello Nelson. You can unplug the water valve side for the dispenser and if it gets pressed, it will not activate the dispenser in the unit.

Hello Chad, If there is enough water pressure to the water valve to properly close it after it has cycled on, (water pressure is all that closes the valve), this design does not require a bypass plug, but you will simply remove the filter.

Hello Rosie, ED5VHEXVQ03 will have to be the correct model number since there is not a model number ED5VHEXV003. This unit should pass water with no filter in place so a filter bypass should not be required to use the water and ice with no filter installed.

Hello Dane. You will need to remove the filter from the unit to bypass it. No bypass is needed per the manufacturer. Thank you.

Mitchell H. for Model Number WRF736SDAM12

I want to bypass my water filter on my Whirlpool refrigerator because of the poor water stream. I already have a main water filter unit the sink that supplies water to the refrigerator so I really don't need the one inside the refrigerator and I want to increase the water flow from the refrigerator. Do I need a bypass cap or plug for the filter inside the refrigerator or will my refrigerator still put out water with the water filter removed? Whirlpool model # WRF736SDAM12. Thanks in advance, Mitchell Hayes mitchbev@comcast.net

Hello Mitchell, the fridge does not require a bypass plug. Your unit will continue to flow water if you remove the water filter, thanks!
