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.

Water Filter Status Light
The water filter status light, located at the top of the refrigerator compartment, will help you know when to change your water filter cartridge.
Style 1 - Standard status light (on some models)
When the water filter status light changes 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 theWater Filter Cartridge” later in this section.

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.
