NOTE

NOTE

NOTE

If you purchased a refrigerator with a 

PureSource MB

Ice and Water front filter, please read the following use
and care information. 

 This ice and water filter system

filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser.  It is
located in the upper right front corner of the fresh food
compartment.

Changing the Filter:

Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the
water filter every
6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest possible water
quality. The Filter Status light will turn red after approximately
250 gallons of water has flowed through the ice and water
dispenser. Also, if the filter has been in a refrigerator that has not
been in use for awhile (during moving for example), change the

PURESOURCE MB ICE AND WATER FRONT FILTER
(SOME MODELS)

System Startup:

Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not
use ice and water dispenser while installing filter.

The filter cartridge has already been installed in the filter
housing at the factory. Refer to the 

How The Water Dispenser

Works section to properly fill the system with water.

Order new filter
cartridges through the
dealer where you
bought the refrigerator,
contact the 

Consumer

Assistance Center at 1-
800-944-9044, or go to
our web site at
www.frigidaire.com.  It
might be good to order
some filter cartridges
when you first install
your refrigerator. Be
sure to ask for 

the

WP2CBMB replacement
cartridge.

The 

PureSource MB Ice and Water Filter System

MBFC 2003 with the 

PureSource MB cartridge

WF2CBMB  is tested and certified by NSF
International, the nationally recognized and
respected, not for profit, certification organization

for public health safety. The 

PureSource MB Filter system is

tested and certified to ANSI/NSF Standards 42 and 53. See
performance data sheet for specifications. This system should
not be used on water that is microbiologically unsafe or with
water of unknown quality unless the water has been
adequately disinfected before or after traveling through the
filtration system.

• Rated Capacity - 250 gallons

filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.  The dispenser system
will also operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed
and bypass installed).

To change filter:

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the
filter.

1.

Set ice maker wire signal arm to the OFF (up) position (side
mounted) or the ice maker’s On/Off power switch turned Off-set
to the “

O

” position (rear mounted) .

2.

Push the 

Filter Release Button, located to the right of the

filter cartridge, to release the filter from the housing.  To
minimize the possibility of the filter falling out of the
housing during removal, it would be best to hold the
filter as it moves out toward you.

NOTE

NOTE

NOTE

NOTE

NOTE

A small amount of water may be released during this
operation. You should have a paper towel or dish cloth
handy to wipe up any water that may drip out of the filter or
housing. Two small holes near the back of the housing
have been added for any excess water to escape. It would
be best to clear away any food near this area on the top
shelf in advance of removing the filter.

3.

Pull the old filter cartridge straight out of the housing.

4.

Discard the old filter.

5.

Remove the new filter cartridge from the packaging and
insert into the filter housing the same way the old one
came out.

6.

When the cartridge is almost in, you will feel it stop against
the clip assembly in the back of the housing. The clip
assembly holds the filter cartridge firmly in place. At this
point, you will need to push firmly until the cartridge
snaps fully in place. When completely in place, the front of
the filter cartridge will be flush with the front of the housing.

7.

Set ice maker wire signal arm to the ON (down) position (side
mounted) or the ice maker’s On/Off power switch is turned On-
set to the “

I

” position. (rear mounted).

8.

Fill a glass with water. As you are doing this, check for
leaks at the filter housing.  There will be noticable spurts
and sputters as the system pushes the air out through the
system and out the dispenser nozzle. This is normal.

9.

After you have run one glass of water, continue to flush the
system for approximately 3 minutes to assure that the
purest water possible is stored in the water storage tank.

Resetting The Filter Status Light (some models)

After replacing the filter cartridge, it will be necessary to
press the 

Filter Reset button located on the ice and water

dispenser. This will reset the Filter Status light. Push the reset
button until the green, red and amber lights flash (10-15
seconds). Please refer to the complete dispenser operating
instructions attached to the inside of the freezer door.

White Westinghouse uses the name CrystalClear instead of PureSource, but they are the same filter.
