When to Replace the Filter Cartridge

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months

or earlier if 170 gallons (643.52 liters) of water has been

dispensed or the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker

decreases.

Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will appear

on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced.

The filter status will automatically update when the filter is

illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to be

replaced.

On some models, if replacing the filter does not automatically

and hold the water button for 3 seconds until you see the
