The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. This tells you that it is almost time to change the filter.

The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months depending on your water quality and usage.

If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.
