Changing The Filter - Kenmore 253.7031 Series Use & Care Manual

Changing the Filter

Locating the Filters
Your refrigerator is equipped with water filtering system. The
water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well
as the water used to produce ice.
Water Filter
The water filter is located at the top right side of the fresh
food compartment.
Replacing the Water Filter
In general, you should change the water filter every six
months to ensure the highest possible water quality. Water
Filter Status on the user interface prompts you to replace the
filter after a standard amount of water (200 gallons/757
liters for Kenmorepure! TM ) has flowed through the system.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time
(during moving for example), change the filter before
reinstalling the refrigerator.
Ordering Replacement Filters
To order your replacement filters, please visit the dealer where
you purchased your refrigerator. Sears recommends that you
order extra filters when you first install your refrigerator, and
that you replace your filters at least once every six months.

To Replace your Kenmorepure!
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change
the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water
released during the filter replacement.
1. Turn Off the ice maker power switch.
2. Remove the filter by pushing on the end/face of the filter.
3. Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of the
housing and discard it.
4. Unpackage the new filter cartridge. Using the alignment
guide, slide it gently into the filter housing until it stops
against the snap-in connector at the back of the housing.
5. Push firmly until the cartridge snaps into place (you
should hear a click as the cartridge engages the snap-in
connector).
6. Press a drinking glass against the water dispenser while
checking for any leaks at the filter housing. Any spurts
and sputters that occur as the system purges air out of
the dispenser system are normal.
7. After filling one glass of water, continue flushing the
system for about four minutes.
8. Turn On the ice maker.
9. Press and hold the Water Filter button on the Ice &
Water Dispenser control panel for three seconds. When
the display changes from Red to Green, the status has
been reset.
