About the water filter.
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right
corner of the refrigerator compartment.
When to Replace the Filter on Models With
a Replacement Indicator Light
There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter
cartridge on the dispenser. 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 icemaker decreases.
When to Replace the Filter on Models Without
a Replacement Indicator Light
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or
earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or icemaker
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.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing a SmartWater cartridge with
an adapter, it must be removed before installing the
cartridge. To remove the adapter, turn it to the left about
1/4 turn.
If you are replacing a Water by Culligan cartridge,
leave the adapter in place. This adapter will stay in
the refrigerator when you replace future cartridges.
With adapter
(appearance may vary)
On models without a replacement indicator light, apply
the month and year sticker to the new cartridge to remind
you to replace the filter in six months.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to
allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after
installation.
(on some models)
Without adapter
Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge
holder. Place the top of the new cartridge up inside
the holder. Do not push it up into the holder.
Slowly turn it to the right until the filter cartridge stops.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position. The cartridge will
move about 1/2 turn.
Cartridge
Holder
Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes (about 1-1/2
gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the WATER FILTER pad (on some models)
on the dispenser for 3 seconds.
NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause
water to spurt from the dispenser.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter
cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will
not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
