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
(125 gallons/473 liters for PureSource
Ultra II
) 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.

To replace your PureSource Ultra II
water filter:
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 old filter by rotating it counter-
clockwise (to the left) 90 degrees to release it.
3 Slide the old filter cartridge straight out of
the housing and discard it.
4 Unpackage the new filter cartridge. Slide it
into the filter housing as far as it will go with
the grip end horizontal.
5 Push lightly inward on the filter while rotating
it clockwise (to the right). The filter will then
pull itself inward as it is rotated. Rotate the
filter 90 degrees until it stops and the grip
end is vertical. You may be able to feel a very
light click as the filter locks into place.
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 Continue dispensing water for 3-4 minutes
or until 1.5 gallons of water has flowed
through the system. You will likely need to
empty and refill your glass several times.
8 Turn On the ice maker.
9 Press and hold the Water Filter reset
button on the control panel for three
seconds. When the display changes from
Red to Green, the status has been reset.
