Water Filter Indicator (on some models)
The water lter indicator, located on the control panel, will help
you know when to change the water lter.
A replacement water lter should be ordered when “Order Filter”
is displayed. It is recommended that you replace the lter when
“Replace Filter” is displayed or when water ow to your water
dispenser and/or ice maker decreases noticeably. See “Changing
the Water Filter” later in this section.
After changing the water lter, press and hold FILTER RESET for
3 seconds until the “Order Filter” or “Replace Filter” indicator light
disappears.
Changing the Water Filter
The water lter is located in the base grille below the freezer
compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille to
remove the lter.
1. Remove the lter by pressing the eject button and pulling
straight out on the lter cap.
NOTES:
■ Avoid twisting the cap when removing the lter because
this could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs,
replace the cap and pull the lter straight out.
■ There will be water in the lter. Some spilling may occur.
2. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement lter.
3. Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the new lter, and
then turn the cap until it snaps into place.
4. Remove the covers from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are
still in place after the covers are removed.
5. Place the cap (removed in Step 2) on the new lter. Align the
ridge on the cap with the arrow on the lter. Turn the cap
clockwise until it snaps into place.
6. Push the new lter into the opening in the base grille. As the
lter is inserted, the eject button will depress. The eject button
will pop back out when the lter is fully engaged.
7. Pull gently on the cap to check that the lter is securely in
place.
8. Flush the water system. Depending on your model, see
“Water and Ice Dispensers” or “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
Using the Ice Maker Without a Water Filter
You can operate the ice maker without a water lter. Your ice will
not be ltered.
1. Remove the lter by pressing the eject button and pulling on
the cap. See “Changing the Water Filter” earlier in this section.
2. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator.
3. With the cap in a horizontal position, insert the cap into the
base grille until it stops.
4. Turn the cap counterclockwise until the cap slips into the
attachment slot. Then, turn the cap clockwise until it is in a
horizontal position.
NOTE: The cap will not be even with the base grille.
