Refrigerator Water Filter Bypass

Hello Greg, thank you for your question. It sounds like the water filter head is not allowing water to come into the unit and be directed to the icemaker/dispenser area. We would recommend replacing Water Filter Head Part Number: WP67004106. I hope this helps.

Hi Graeme, thank you for your question. It should not. If your filter is missing you need to have the cap there or else water would leak from the missing filter location. If you are getting no water at all, you may want to look at your water inlet valve being the issue. The valve can be tested with a multi meter and should be reading between 500 - 1500 ohms of resistance. You may want to make sure you either have a new filter in place or a cap before turning on the water. Good luck with your repair.
