USING THE REFRIGERATOR: Water Filter Cartridge
Water Filter Cartridge (On some models.)
Water filter cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located behind the upper
cover at the top of the refrigerator.
When to replace the filter on models with a
replacement indicator light
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.
Removing the filter cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old
one by slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on
the cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down.
NOTE: To reduce the risk associated with property
damage due to water leakage, read and follow
instructions before installation and use of this system.

Installing the filter cartridge
1
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the
tap to allow for better flow from the dispenser
immediately after installation.
2
Line 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.
3
Slowly turn it to the right until the
filter cartridge stops. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the
cartridge it will automatically raise
itself into position. The cartridge
will move about a 1/2 turn.
4
Run water from the dispenser for
1-1/2 gallons (5.7 liters) (about three minutes) to
clear the system and prevent sputtering.
5
Press and hold the RESET FILTER Button for non-
dispense models or press and hold the WATER
button for dispense models to reset the filter
indicator.
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 dispenser and the
icemaker will not operate without the filter
or filter bypass plug.
