Replacement Filter Cartridges

Several variables determine how long the cartridge will last
in your Household Water Filtration System. These include:
levels of sediment or other undesirable substances in
your water.
the amount of water you use.
the filter location (filtering all or part of your household
water).

Filter Cartridge Replacement

You should change your filter when the water flow is noticeably reduced or at least every 3 months.
1 Turn off water to filter. For model GXWH04F, water
must be shut off from an upstream valve. For model
GXWH20S, rotate control handle to the BYPASS or OFF
position. (See Control Handle.)
2 Press the red pressure-release button to release
pressure.
3 Unscrew the filter canister and discard used filter.
Wash the filter canister with mild soap and water.
Do not use harsh cleaners or hot water.
4 Inspect the filter canister O-ring. Make sure it is lightly
lubricated with clean food-grade silicone grease
(silicone grease is available through GE Parts and
Service: 1.800.626.2002, part number WS60S10005).
Be sure the O-ring is seated in the groove. It is
recommended that you replace the O-ring if it is
damaged.
5 Place a new filter cartridge into the filter housing,
making sure it is centered and completely seated on
the bottom seal.
6 Reinstall the filter canister to the unit. Tighten filter
canister to seal. Use canister wrench if necessary.
