Official Kenmore Elite refrigerator water filters

Do I need to insert a water filter bypass plug in my refrigerator when I remove the water filter?

When you remove the water filter from some refrigerators, you’ll need to insert a water filter bypass plug in the water filter housing to prevent water leaks. Some water filter systems have an automatic bypass that prevents water from leaking when using the water system with the filter removed. Check your owner’s manual to see if your refrigerator requires a water filter bypass when the filter is removed.

Here are common water filter bypass devices for Kenmore Elite refrigerators.
