WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
The water filter cartridge is located in the refrigerator
interior on the left side wall, near the top.
Select models use radio frequency identification (RFID) to
detect leaks and monitor filter status. The RFID technology
is certified by the FCC.
When to Replace the Filter Cartridge
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months
or earlier if 170 gallons (643.52 liters) of water has been
dispensed or the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Touch Screen Models:
A filter status message will appear
on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced.
The filter status will automatically update when the filter is
replaced.
Non-touch Screen Models:
A filter indicator light will
illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to be
replaced.
Removing the Filter Cartridge
DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE!
Twisting may damage
refrigerator or filter.
1. Remove the old cartridge by opening the filter door and
pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow it to swing
outward.
2. When the cartridge can no
longer swing, gently pull to
unseat from the cartridge
holder. A small amount of
water may drip out.
DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE!
Installing the Filter Cartridge
1. Center the cartridge with cartridge holder with the word
FRONT
facing outward. Push the cartridge inward
until it is fully seated.
FRONT
should be centered with
the cartridge holder for proper installation. The RED
indicators should not be visible.
2. While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in the
holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in position. If
filter will not swing easily, check to ensure filter is properly
aligned and fully seated within the cartridge holder.
3.
For dispenser models –
Run two gallons (7.75 Liters) of
water through the cold water dispenser (about 5 minutes)
to remove air from the system. A newly installed filter
cartridge will cause water to spurt from the dispenser. Use
a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch the water spray.
NOTE:
It is normal for water to appear discolored during
the initial system flush. Water color will return to normal
after the first few minutes of dispensing.
For icemaker-only models –
Discard the first bin of ice
to allow air to purge from the system. A newly installed
filter cartridge will cause water to spurt into the icemaker
body, which could lead to ice droplets around the
icemaker area.
NOTE:
It is normal for these droplets
and initial ice production to appear discolored during the
initial system flush. Ice color will return to normal after
the first bin of ice production.
DO NOT use the hot water dispenser or Autofill function
until all air is removed from the system.
4. Reset Filter status message (non-touch screen models).
Filter Bypass Plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water
leakage, you
MUST
use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models
do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain
a free bypass plug, visit us on-line at
geappliances.com/
service
. In Canada, visit
geappliances.ca/service.
The dispenser and icemaker
will not operate without either the filter or the bypass plug
installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a
filter cartridge.
