Water Filtration System

(onsome models)

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.

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 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.
