The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water

flow from the dispenser slows, or ice production decreases, the
water filter should be replaced, even though the filter indicator may

MYTH
The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker
must be turned on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after

can be turned
on

from the controls and ensure the ice maker is
on, as indicated on the refrigerator control panel. See Automatic Ice

normal with the bypass plug in place, replace the water filter.
The top of the refrigerator doors will always be
