Questions & Answers

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

1 Answer

Hello John, the bypass cap is sold with the head assembly R0000009. I would have preferred to check your model number to be sure but this part is used with the filter you have so the cap should be right. Thanks!

Hi. You will not get any water pressure at the fountain controls without the bypass plug part # WP61003791. The ice maker does not use the water filter to fill the ice maker. It is a dual valve part # W10822681. Remove the ice maker fill tube from the back of the unit to see if it is plugged with frozen water. Run warm sink water in it to thaw it. Dry it all the way. Then use a new clamp on the water fill tube at the back of the unit. If it is clogged it is because of a bad water valve. Thank You.

Hello Karen. No, the buzzing is the water valve energizing. That is normal operation of the unit.
