My Whirlpool Side-by-Side refrigerator is 7 months and the water filter (W10295370) requires replacement. I have a wholehouse water filter and do not require the secondary refrigerator water filter. Is there a way to bypass the refrigerator water filter, yet still dispense water from the refrigerator and make ice? For example, may be there is a bypass cartridge that can be installed in place of the refrigerator water filter that would let the water flow to the door dispenser and ice maker. Thank you for the help.

You are welcome Steve.

Do not forget to flash the water system after you will replace the water filter. You can find the instructions in one of our previous threads: Water dispenser leak!!!
