The water filter status light, located at the top of the refrigerator
compartment, will help you know when to change your water
filter cartridge. When the water filter status light changes from
green to yellow, this tells you that it is almost time to change the
water filter cartridge (90% of the filter life has been used). It is
recommended that you replace the water filter cartridge when the
water filter status light changes to red OR water flow to your
water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. To change
the water filter cartridge, see "Changing the Water Filter
Cartridge" later in this section.
After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter
status light by pressing the light switch 5 times within
10 seconds. The water filter status light will change from red to
green when the system is reset.
