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.

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.

Hi @pjmp

Perhaps the filters weren't being fully inserted.

The internal bypass mechanism in the filter housing wasn't being activated by the insertion of the filter, allowing the water to flow into and through the filter, but stayed in the bypass position i.e. filter removed position

If reinserting the filter again doesn't work, you may have to replace the water filter housing. Search online for W10862456 to find suppliers that suit you best.

Here's a video that gives some idea of what needs to be done. Not exactly for your model but the procedure would be nearly the same.

Thank you for your help. I did partially take it apart yesterday, just to see if I could see anything in there and everything appears to be hooked up. I even tried unplugging the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to see if that would make any difference, but to no avail. I believe I am going to have to buy a new housing and replace that, because I have tried many times taking out and re-inserting the filter, but it does not change anything. Thank you again for your response, it was greatly appreciated!
