MWFP Filter Cartridge Removal
• Slowly turn the filter to the left. Do not pull
down on the cartridge.
MWFP Filter Cartridge Installation
1. Fill the replacement cartridge with water
from the tap to allow for better flow from the
dispenser immediately after installation.
2. Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the
manifold. Place the top of the new cartridge
up inside the holder. Do not push it up into
the manifold.
3. Slowly turn it to the
right until the filter
cartridge stops. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN. The
cartridge will move about a
1/2 turn.
4. Run water from the dispenser for 1-1/2
gallons (about three minutes) to clear the
system and prevent sputtering.
5. Press and hold the Water Filter pad on the
dispenser board for three seconds.
NOTE: Remove the water filter to immediately
stop any water leak from the Icemaker/Dispenser
system. The water filter manifold acts as a cut-off
valve when the filter is removed and will prevent
further leaking.
