Locating the Filter

Your refrigerator is equipped with a water filtering 

system. The water filter system filters all dispensed 

drinking water, as well as the water used to 

produce ice.

Water Filter

The water filter is located at the top right side of 

the refrigerator compartment.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically 

unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate 

disinfection before or after the system. Systems 

certified for cyst reduction may be used on 

disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

To replace your PureSource 3

TM 

water filter:

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off 

to change the filter. Be ready to wipe up any 

small amounts of water released during the 

filter replacement.

1. Turn 

Off

 the ice maker.

2. 

Remove the filter by pushing on the end/face 

of the filter.

3. 

Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out 

of the housing and discard it.

4. 

Unpackage the new filter cartridge. Using 

the alignment guide, slide it gently into the 

filter housing until it stops against the snap-in 

connector at the back of the housing.

5. 

Push firmly until the cartridge 

 

snaps into place (you should hear a 

click as the cartridge engages the 

snap-in connector).

6. Press a drinking glass against the water 

dispenser while checking for any leaks at the 

filter housing. Any spurts and sputters that 

occur as the system purges air out of the 

dispenser system are normal.

7.

flushing the system for about 

four minutes

On

 the ice maker.
