Why is my water dispenser filter being bypassed?
Hello I have a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model number 106.5002 and it uses a model number 9081 water filter. All of a sudden my water started not tasting very clean and I noticed the door to the filter inside the grill on the bottom left of the refrigerator was open, so I closed it again. The water still continued to taste like tapwater. I then tried changing the current water filter, which was only about one month old, and I did not hear the usual water pressure sound go into the new water filter. I then removed the brand new water filter and it was still empty. There is no water going into the water filter and from what I have learned I believe my refrigerator has an automatic inbuilt bypass plug. Could this have somehow activated? I also looked inside the housing and there does not appear to be anything broken. Also, my water dispenser and my icemaker continue to work without the filter. I would like to use the water filter and I am not sure what to do, or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Hi @pjmp,
Please provide the full model number of the refrigerator as there are 17 different models beginning with 106.5002 and they don't all have the same features.
