For Whirlpool Water Filter Bypass Plug (Part Number: OEM18030018)

Ba for Model Number GS6NHAXVB00

We bought a house with a used fridge. We believe sellers bought a used fridge to put in the house to sell it.We plan to put a water line from our reverse osmosis to the fridge. There is currently no water line to the fridge. We have a connecting tube from the RO to the fridge that we have purchased. My question is are we able to clean out all of the water lines or should we replace them. If we need to replace them what are all the lines we need to be assured there is no bacteria in any of the lines? If we can just sanitize the lines, how do I do that? Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

BA, For this issue there is no way to sanitize the line and you would just need to replace the lines.
