Changing the Air Filter
Your refrigerator has a FreshFlow air filter, located in the vent grille
in the inside wall above the crisper cover.
The FreshFlow air filter fights odors produced by food and is up to
15 times more effective than baking soda, which helps to maintain
a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: The disposable air filter should be replaced every
6 months because it gradually loses its odor-fighting properties.

After replacing the air filter, press and hold the Temperature
and Adjust controls simultaneously for 3 seconds. The status
indicator bar will appear on the display. See "Using the

disappear; you can reset the status tracking feature as
needed.

The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even
longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, the door is
opened often, or if the door has been left open.
