Automatic Ice and
Water Dispenser
(continued)
Changing the Filter:
Water quality varies throughout the world. To ensure the highest possible water
quality, change water filter every 6 months, or 200 gallons. Also, if filter has been
in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for example),
change filter before reinstalling refrigerator. Note dispenser system will also operate
without filtration (with filter cartridge removed).
To change filter:
Refer to Figure 1 as needed. It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change
the filter.
1. Set ice maker lever (wire signal arm) to the OFF (up) position.
2. Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew counter clockwise (Figure 1). (Some water could
leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.) Filter cartridge should come down
with cup. If cartridge remains in housing, pull down gently, while twisting filter
back and forth.
3. Empty cup of any substance.
4. The large o-ring (Figure 1) that seals the filter system sets in the o-ring groove down
inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter cartridge replacement, simply
place it back in the groove prior to screwing the cup back in place. If the o-ring
becomes damaged, you will need to order a new one from the Consumer
Assistance Center.
5. Discard old filter cartridge.
6. Remove new filter cartridge from packaging, and install.
7. Place filter cartridge in cup. The end with the small o-ring should be up, out of the
cup.
8. Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. Filter cartridge will self-align as cup is
tightened. Be sure cup is completely tightened. Do Not Tighten Past Stop.
9. Set ice maker level on the ON (down) position.

Order new filter cartridges through
the dealer where you bought the
refrigerator. It might be good to
order some filters when you first
install your refrigerator. Be sure to
ask for the RC-200 replacement
cartridge.
