Customer Questions and Answers for Water Filter Bypass Plug by Whirlpool

J., A "bypass plug" is not necessary in your model refrigerator [WRS586FLDB00]. But the water and ice cube water will not be filtered. You may want to check the water quality before you remove it.

John, When you pull the water filter out for this unit the housing automatically bypasses and no bypass is needed.

Mary, Make sure that the filter is fully seated before turning and make sure that the cap is removed. If the filter still will not work then you will want to try a different filter and if still not working may have a defective filter head.

Dinesh, With the bypass plug coming out when dispensing, if the bypass plug is twisted in place like the filter and this is happening then the issue will be the filter head part number WP61003789.

Hello Ellie. No bypass needed. Just remove the filter from the unit. You will still get cold water.
