WATER FILTER
Replace the water filter:
• Approximately every 6 months.
•
When the water filter indicator turns on.
• When the water dispenser output decreases.
• When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
•
Close the water filter cover. The cover will click
when closed correctly.
3.
After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons
of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove
trapped air and contaminants from the system. Do not
dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously.
Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of
30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
4.
Press and hold the Water Filter Reset button for 3
seconds to reset the indicator light.
CAUTION:
Operating the refrigerator with a water
filter is recommended. However, no bypass filter plug
is necessary if there is no water filter installed.
NOTE:
To purchase a replacement filter, visit your
local Sears store, or call 1-844-553-6667.

1. Remove the old water filter.
• Lower or remove the top left shelf to allow the
water filter to rotate all the way down.
•
Pinch the sides to open the water filter cover.
•
Pull the water filter downward and turn it
counterclockwise before pulling it out.
•
Make sure to rotate the filter down completely
before pulling it out of the manifold hole.
NOTE:
Replacing the water filter causes a small amount
of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain. Wrap a cloth
around the front end of the water filter cover to collect
any leaking water. Hold the water filter upright, once it is
removed, to prevent any remaining water from spilling out
of the water filter.
2. Replace with a new water filter.
•
Take the new water filter out of its packing and
remove the protective cover from the o-rings. With
the water filter tabs in the horizontal position, push
the new water filter into the manifold hole and turn
it clockwise until it stops.
