Don December 26, 2014 for Model Number gz25fxyy2 Have removed the water filter, installed a blue bypass cap and water in door is flowing correctly, but ice maker is not getting water to make ice. Does the filter have to be installled for the ice maker to work?
1 Answer Hello Don, The water filter normally does not have an effect on the icemaker. This is normally caused by low water pressure to the unit or a failing icemaker water inlet valve. Read More...
Gary B December 24, 2014 for Model Number Kitchen Aid KFIS20XVMS11 I have an RO filter and don't want to use the expensive water filter in my Kitchen Aid refrigerator (Model # KFIS20XVMS11). Do I need a bypass filter? The water and ice maker don't seem to work when I take the old filter out. Thank you.
1 Answer Gary, Your particular refrigerator does require a "bypass plug" W11395888 to be installed in the filter head assembly in order for the dispenser and ice maker to function properly. Without the plug or a filter installed the system is "locked out" so it doesn't leak or create other issues. Read More...
Lonnie December 14, 2014 for Model Number wrs322fdam03 I've been told that this particular refrigerator doesn't require a bypass filter. If not what keeps it from leaking when the filter is not in place. Thanks, Lonnie
1 Answer Hello Lonnie. When the filter is removed, the housing connects the 2 hoses together so it bypasses the filter. Read More...

Emma D. August 07, 2014 for Model Number WRS342FIAW00 I already have a replaceable in-line filter on my refrigerator supply line and don't see a need for also having the W10295370 refrigerator filter which must be replaced every 6 months. I have excellent municipal water supply. What part should I buy or what must I do to eliminate the refrigerator filter without sacrificing ice and cold water availability?
1 Answer Emma, there is not a bypass cap required. To bypass just remove the filter and replace the filter cap. Thanks. Read More...
