Water filter cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located behind the upper cover
at the top of the refrigerator.
When to replace the filter on models with a replacement
indicator light
There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter
cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to tell
you that you need to replace the filter soon.
The filter cartridge should be replaced when the
replacement indicator light turns red or if the flow of water
to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
Removing the filter cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one
by slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on the
cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down.
NOTE: To reduce the risk associated with property damage
due to water leakage, read and follow instructions before
installation and use of this system. Installation and use MUST
comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
