Water Filter Status Lights (non-dispenser models)
The water filter status lights will remind you when it is time to
order and replace the water filter. When the Order Filter light is on,
it is almost time to change the water filter. When the Replace Filter
light is on, a new water filter should be installed.
The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every
6 months OR earlier if the flow of water to the ice maker
decreases noticeably.
After replacing the water filter, press and hold RESET FILTER for
3 seconds. The Good light will turn on when the filter tracking
feature is reset. See "Using the Controls."
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.
