The Dispenser Light

The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by 
pressing the ON button at the right hand side of the control 
panel. The red indicator above the ON button will appear. 

On some models: Whenever you use the dispenser the lever will 
automatically turn the light on.

NOTE: See the “Changing the Light Bulbs” section for 
information on changing the dispenser light bulb.

On models without crushed ice, the light switch is a rocker-style 
type. Push the switch to turn the light on, and push again to turn 
the light off.

The Dispenser Lock (on some models)

Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to prevent 
accidental dispensing by small children and pets. To turn off the 
dispenser, press the LOCK button. The indicator will appear 
above the LOCK button and the ice and water dispensers will not 
work. To unlock the dispenser, press the UNLOCK button until 
the indicator appears. Then continue to dispense ice or water as 
usual.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the 
refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply 
deactivates the dispenser levers.

Water Filter Status Light

(on some models)

The water filter status light will help you know when to change 
your water filter cartridge. The light is located at the top of the 
refrigerator compartment. The light will change from green to 
yellow. This tells you that it is almost time to change the water 
filter cartridge (90% of the filter life has been used). It is 
recommended that you replace the base grille water filter 
cartridge when the water filter indicator light changes to red OR 
water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases 
noticeably. See “Changing the Water Filter Cartridge” later in this 
section.

After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter 
status light by pressing the light switch 5 times within 
10 seconds. The indicator light will change from red to green 
when the system is reset.

Non-indicator Water Filter (on some models)

If your refrigerator does not have the water filter status light, you 
should change the water filter cartridge every 6 to 9 months 
depending upon your usage. If the water flow to the water 
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months 
have passed, replace the water filter cartridge more often.

Water Filtration System

(on some models)

NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe 
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before 
or after the system. 

Changing a Base Grille Water Filter Cartridge

The base grille water filter is located below the freezer 
compartment door. Depending on your model, you may have a 
filter that is installed behind the base grille (Style 1) or a filter that 
is installed through the base grille (Style 2).

Style 1: Behind the Base Grille Filter

1. Remove the base grille. See “Door Removal.” Rotate the 

cartridge counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the 
filter cartridge out.

NOTE: There will be water in the cartridge. Some spilling may 
occur.

2. Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove 

protective cover from o-rings.

3. Push the new filter cartridge into the base until it stops. 

Rotate the cartridge clockwise to a horizontal position. Flush 
the water system. See “Flushing the Water System After 
Replacing Filter” later in this section.

Style 2: Through the Base Grille Filter

1. Locate the water filter cartridge cap in the front base grille. 

Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and 
pull the cap and filter cartridge out through the base grille.

NOTE: There will be water in the cartridge. Some spilling may 
occur. 

2. Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old 

cartridge. The cap will slide to the left or right.  

NOTE: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. 
Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
