The Dispenser Light
When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on.
If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either
On or Pads. The display screen indicates which mode is selected.
On: Press LIGHT to turn on the dispenser light and the light
behind the dispenser paddles.
Pads: Press LIGHT a second time to select Pads mode. The
dispenser light will turn off, but the light behind the dispenser
paddles will remain on.
Off: Press LIGHT a third time to turn off the dispenser light.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see
“Troubleshooting” for more information.
The Dispenser Lock
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator,
to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
controls and dispenser levers. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice
Maker and Storage Bin.”
■ Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.
■ Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.
The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.
Water Filtration System
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Water Filter Status
When a water filter has been installed in the refrigerator, the water
filter status lights help you know when to change your water filter.
■ The water filter status icon will change from “Good” to “Order
Filter” when 90% of the volume of water for which the filter is
rated has passed through the filter OR 5 months have passed
since the filter was installed.
■ The “Replace Water Filter” icon will illuminate and blink
continuously during dispensing when the rated volume of
water has passed through the filter OR 6 months have passed
since the filter was installed. A new water filter should be
installed immediately when the Replace light is illuminated.
■ After 14 days at Replace Filter stage, the “Replace Filter” and
“water” icons will glow at all times and blink continuously
during dispensing. Also, an alert chime will sound three times
following dispensing.
The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every
6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the
water filter more often.
Reset Water Filter Status
After changing the water filter, reset the status light. Press the
OPTIONS button to enter Options mode, then press LOCK to
initiate the reset, then press MEASURED FILL to confirm that you
want to reset the status light. When the system is reset, the
“ORDER” and “REPLACE” icons will disappear from the display
screen.
Replacing the Water Filter
To purchase a replacement water filter, see “Accessories.”
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water
and filter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes
before removing the filter or blue bypass cap.
1. To access the filter, press upward on the ribbed section of the
water filter cover.
2. Turn filter counterclockwise to remove.
3. Remove sealing label from replacement filter and insert the
filter end into the filter head.
4. Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover
closed.
5. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispenser.”
NOTE: The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter
installed. Your water will not be filtered. If this option is chosen,
replace the filter with the blue bypass cap.
