Water Filter Status Light
(on some models)
The water filter status light will help you know when to change your
water filter.
■
When the status light changes from green to yellow, this tells
you that it is almost time to change the water filter.
■
It is recommended that you replace the filter when the status
light changes to red OR when water flow to your water
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.
The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months depending on
your water quality and usage. To change the filter, see “Water
Filtration System.”
After changing the water filter, reset the status light by pressing
and holding the RESET button for 2 seconds. The status light will
change from Replace (red) to Good (green) when the system is
reset.
Water Filtration System
Changing the Water Filter
The water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer
compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille to
remove the filter.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling
straight out on the filter cap.
NOTES:
■
Avoid twisting the cap when removing the filter because
this could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs, replace
the cap and pull the filter straight out.
■
There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may occur.
2. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove the
covers from O-rings.
4. Place the cap (removed in Step 2) on the new filter. Align the
ridge on the cap with the arrow on the filter. Turn the cap
clockwise until it snaps into place.
5. Push the new filter into the opening in the base grille. As the
filter is inserted, the eject button will depress. The eject button
will pop back out when the filter is fully engaged.
6. Pull gently on the cap to check that the filter is securely in
place.
7. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”
