Changing
the Filter:
Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the water filter every
6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest possible water quality. If the filter
has been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for
example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator. The dispenser
system will also operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed).
To change
filter:
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.
1.
Set ice maker wire signal arm to the OFF (up) position (See illustration on
page 14).
2.
Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew towards left (Some water could
leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.). Filter cartridge should come
down with cup. If cartridge remains in housing, pull down gently, while
twisting filter back and forth.
3.
Rinse out cup under running water.
4.
The large o-ring that seals the filter system sets in the o-ring groove
down inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter cartridge
replacement, simply place it back in the groove prior to screwing the cup
back in place. If the o-ring becomes damaged, you will need to order one
from Sears Parts & Repair at1-800-4-MY-HOME

Discard old filter cartridge.
6.
Remove new filter cartridge from packaging and place in cup. The end
with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.

cup is tightened. Be sure cup is completely tightened with Kenmore logo
facing outward. Do NotTighten

reinsert the filter cartridge. Check placement of large O-ring. Reinstall
filter cup, making certain it is tightened completely.
