Jay L for Model Number Kenmore Coldspot fridge model 106.44433603

We added reverse osmosis to our house. I want to bypass the fridge water filter and was told by Sears that I need a bypass plug. So I bought what they said I need but it is a short little plug. The filter I need to replace is a long filter that goes under the fridge through the grille. I don't see how to get this little plug into the under the fridge area. All "how to" videos on the internet show a filter being replaced that is in the fresh compartment of the refrigerator, not the area under the fridge.

Hello Mark. Check the tubes going to the icemaker and the icemaker its self. Either could cause the white particles.
