The base grille 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 a base grille water filter cartridge” later in this section.)

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

1.Status Light

2.Light Switch

After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter status light by pressing the light switch 5 times within 10 seconds. The status 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.

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 located behind the base grille (Style 1) or a filter that is located through the base grille (Style 2).

Style 1: Behind the base grille filter

1.Remove the base grille (see “To remove the base grille” section). 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. DO NOT DISCARD THE CAP.

3.Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove protective cover from o-rings.

4.Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge. See illustration in Step 2.
