Whirlpool W11395888 Refrigerator Water Filter Bypass Plug

Keep your refrigerator’s water and ice system running smoothly even without a filter installed.

The Whirlpool W11395888 Water Filter Bypass Plug is a genuine OEM solution designed to maintain continuous water flow when a standard filter cartridge is not in use. It securely fits into the filter housing, completing the internal water circuit so your ice maker and dispenser continue to function normally. Without this bypass plug, some refrigerators may restrict water flow or trigger filter-related alerts. Installation is quick and tool-free—simply remove the existing filter and insert the bypass plug firmly into the filter head until it locks into place.
