Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in the top grille compartment. Flip up the panel top grille to access the water filter.

When to Replace the Filter

There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to tell you that you need to replace the filter soon.

The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement indicator light turns red or if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

Installing the Filter Cartridge

The filter cartridge is designed to filter

500 gallons of water (lasting approximately

12 months).

If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by slowly turning it counterclockwise. Do not pull down on the cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down.

Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after installation.

Lining up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder, place the top of the new cartridge up inside the holder. Do not push it up into the holder.

Slowly turn it clockwise until the filter cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the cartridge, it will automatically raise itself into position. Cartridge will rotate about 1/4 turn.

Run water from the dispenser for

3 minutes (about 11⁄2 gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.

Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER button on the dispenser for 3 seconds.

NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to spurt from the dispenser.

Filter Bypass Plug

You must use the filter bypass plug

when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. The bypass plug will be taped to the door bin in the new unit.

NOTE: The dispenser and the icemaker will not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
