Customer Questions and Answers for Water Filter Bypass Plug by Whirlpool

Connie, Thank you for your question. For this model, a filter bypass plug is not required. You will pull the filter out, and it will automatically bypass.

Hello Kent, thank you for contacting Appliance Parts Pros. This model does require a bypass cartridge [W11395888] to dispense water and make ice without the filter.

Lupe, based on the manufacturer's technical information, the filter sensing switch not identifying a filter would be the cause of this. The display will continue to show this warning as long as the switch is not engaged. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not list a compatible bypass plug for this model as it does not require one.

George, Based on the model number provided you should not need a bypass.

Hello D., thank you for contacting APP, This unit does not need a filter bypass plug to dispense water or make ice without the filter in place.
