Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the back
upper right corner of the refrigerator
compartment.
When to Replace the Filter
There is a replacement indicator light for the
water filter cartridge on the dispenser. This light
will turn orange to tell you that you need to
replace the filter soon.
The filter cartridge should be replaced when
the replacement indicator light turns red or if
the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first
remove the old one by slowly turning
it to the left. Do not pull down on the
cartridge. A small amount of water may
drip down.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water
from the tap to allow for better flow from
the dispenser immediately after installation.
Lining up the arrow on the cartridge and
the cartridge holder, place the
top of the new cartridge up inside
the holder. Do not push it up into
the holder.
Slowly turn it to the right until the filter
cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position.
Cartridge will rotate about 1/4 turn.
Run water from the dispenser for
3 minutes (about 1
1
2 gallons) to clear the
system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER
pad on the dispenser for 3 seconds.
NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge may
cause water to spurt from the dispenser.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug
when a replacement filter cartridge is not
available. The dispenser and the icemaker will
not operate without the filter or filter bypass
plug.
