Water filter cartridge
cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located behind the top
access panel.
When to replace the filter
On dispenser models, there is a replacement
indicator light for the water filter cartridge
on the dispenser. On non-dispenser models,
the replacement indicator is located on the
temperature control panel. This light will turn
orange to tell you that you need to replace the filter
soon.
The filter cartridge should be replaced when the
replacement indicator light turns red or if the flow
of water to the dispenser or ice maker decreases.
Removing the filter cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old
one by slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on
the cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down.
NOTE: To reduce the risk associated with property
damage due to water leakage, read and follow
instructions before installation and use of this
system. Installation and use MUST comply with all
state and local plumbing codes.
For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE-branded filters only.
Using GE-branded filters in GE, Hotpoint® and Monogram refrigerators provides optimal performance
and reliability. GE filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are important for
products that are filtering your water. GE has not qualified non-GE-branded filters for use in GE and Hot-
point refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE-branded filters meet GE's standards for quality,
performance and reliability.

clear the system and prevent sputtering.

located on the dispenser or temperature control
panel depending on the model, for three seconds
to clear the red or amber light.
NOTE: A newly installed water filter cartridge may
cause water to spurt into the ice maker.
