The Filter light ( ) lets you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. When the
filter indicator lights up red, it is time to change the filter. Changing the filter on time provides you
with the freshest, cleanest water from your refrigerator. Typically, you need to change the filter
about every 6 months.
• The Filter Indicator will be Blue when you purchase the new refrigerator.
• The Filter Indicator will be Pink after the filter has filtered 270 gallons of water or 5 months.
• The Filter Indicator will be Red after the filter has filtered 300 gallons of water or 6 months.
Depending on the condition of your water and region, the amount of time a filter lasts can vary.
In some areas, you may need to change the fileter every two months.
How to change the water filter
