Water Filter Status Light; Water Filtration System - Kenmore 5478 - Elite 25.6 cu. Ft. Refrigerator Use And Care Manual

The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter. When the water filter status display changes
from "GOOD" to "ORDER," this tells you that it is almost time to
change the water filter cartridge. Replace the water filter
cartridge when the water filter status display changes to
"REPLACE." If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter should
be replaced at least every 6 months depending on your water
quality and usage. To change the filter, see "Water Filtration
System."
