FILTERS AND ACCESSORIES

Replace the Water Filter

To purchase a replacement water filter, see “Accessories.”

Replace the disposable water filter when indicated on the water filter status display or at least every 6 months. If water flow to your dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably, change the water filter sooner.

1.Locate the water filter compartment in the right-hand side of the refrigerator ceiling. Push up to release and lower the compartment door.

2.Turn the water filter counterclockwise (to the left), and pull it straight out of the compartment.

NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling may occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.

3.Install the replacement water filter by following steps 2 through 7 in the “Install the Water Filter” section.

Install Air Filter (on some models)

An air filter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator.

Installing the Air Filter

Install the air filter behind the vented door, located on the rear wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment.
