Install the Water Filter
1. Locate the accessory packet in the refrigerator and remove
the water filter.
2. Take the water filter out of its packaging and remove the cover
from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the
cover is removed.
3. The water filter compartment is located in the right-hand side
of the refrigerator ceiling. Push up on the compartment door
to release the catch, and then lower the door.
4. Align the arrow on the water filter label with the cutout notch in
the filter housing and insert the filter into the housing.
5. Turn the filter clockwise 90 degrees (¹⁄₄ turn) until it locks into
the housing.
NOTE: If the filter is not correctly locked into the housing, the
water dispenser will not operate. Water will not flow from the
dispenser.
6. While the compartment door is still open, lift the filter up into
the compartment. Then, close the filter compartment door
completely.
7. Flush the water system. See “Flushing the Water Filter” in the
“Water and Ice Dispensers” section.
IMPORTANT: If you do not flush the water system, you may
experience dripping and/or decreased flow from the water
dispenser.

Replace the Water Filter
To purchase a replacement water filter, see “Accessories” in the

Replace the disposable water filter when indicated on the water

dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably, change the water
filter sooner.
