Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the fresh food
interior on the left side wall, near the top.
Select models use radio frequency identification (RFID)
to detect leaks and monitor filter status. The RFID
technology is certified by the FCC.
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
replaced.
Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light will
illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to be
replaced.
On some models, if replacing the filter does not
automatically turn off the “Order” or “Replace” indicator on
the LCD, enter the <Settings> menu from the home screen,
select the <Water Filter> menu, and press the RESET
button. The filter status is now reset. Press the DONE
button to return to the home screen.
Removing the Filter Cartridge
DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE! Twisting may damage
refrigerator or filter.
1. Remove the old cartridge by opening the filter door and
pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow it to swing
outward.
2.
When the cartridge can no
longer swing, gently pull to
unseat from the cartridge
holder. A small amount of
water may drip out.
DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE!
Installing the Filter Cartridge
1. Center the cartridge with cartridge holder with the word
FRONT facing outward. Push the cartridge inward
until it is fully seated. FRONT should be centered with
the cartridge holder for proper installation. The RED
indicators should not be visible.
2. While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in the
holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in position. If
filter will not swing easily, check to ensure filter is properly
aligned and fully seated within the cartridge holder.
3.
For dispenser models – Run 2 gallons of water through
the cold water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to remove
air from the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will

pitcher or sports bottle to catch the water spray. NOTE: It
is normal for water to appear discolored during the initial
system flush. Water color will return to normal after the
first few minutes of dispensing.
For icemaker-only models – Discard the first bin
of ice to allow air to purge from the system. A newly
installed filter cartridge will cause water to spurt into the
icemaker body, which could lead to ice droplets around
the icemaker area. NOTE: It is normal for these droplets
and initial ice production to appear discolored during the
initial system flush. Ice color will return to normal after the
first bin of ice production.
DO NOT use the hot water dispenser or Autofill function
until all air is removed from the system.
6. Reset Filter status message (non-touch screen models).
Filter Bypass Plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water
leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models
do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain
a free bypass plug, visit us on-line at geappliances.com/
service. In Canada, visit
geappliances.ca/service. The dispenser and icemaker
will not operate without either the filter or the bypass plug
installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a
filter cartridge.
