WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
The water filter cartridge is located in the CASE TOP
ASSEMBLY at the top of the unit.
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 of water has been dispensed or the
flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
The main refrigerator control panel will display ORDER
WATER FILTER when the water filter has reached 90% of
life. The display will change to WATER FILTER EXPIRED
after 100% of life.
Removing the filter cartridge
1. Open the front cover
of the enclosure to
90°. Locate filter and
filter removal tool.
Filter should be as
shown.
2. Rotate filter ¼ turn
counterclockwise (use
filter removal tool if
needed).
3. Pull filter toward you
to remove.
NOTE: Water system
will not function without filter in place.
CAUTION
If air has been trapped in the system,
the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use
caution when removing.
ATTENTION
Si de l’air est emprisonné dans le système,
la cartouche de filtre peut être éjectée lors de son retrait.
PRECAUCIÓN
Si quedó aire atrapado en el
sistema, es posible que el cartucho sea eyectado en el
momento en que se retire. Retire el mismo con cuidado.
Installing the filter cartridge
1. Locate blue arrow on filter.
Rotate filter to align arrow as
shown.
2. Insert filter into position and
rotate ¼ turn clockwise (use
filter removal tool if needed).
3. Return filter removal tool to
mounting hook. Close the
compartment door.
4. In models with an internal water
dispenser, dispense 2 gallons of water
through the internal dispenser to
remove air from the system. A newly
installed filter cartridge will cause
water to spurt and dribble until the air is out of the
system.
5. In models with no internal water dispenser, empty
the ice bin immediately after changing the filter.
After filter installation, the icemaker may not immediately
produce ice, and the first bin of ice may be misshapen or
discolored. Wait 6 to 12 hours so the system can purge
air. Discard this ice.
After filter Installation, water will spurt into the icemaker
body, which could lead to ice droplets around the
icemaker. NOTE: It is normal for these droplets to
appear discolored during the initial system flush. Normal
color will return after 6 to 12 hours.
6. On some models, if the water filter status does not
update automatically, hold the "+" key on the control
panel for 3 seconds to reset the water filter usage.
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 XWFE
bypass plug WR17X233825, call 800.444.1845. In Canada,
call 888.880.3030. The internal water dispenser (some
models) and icemaker will not operate without either the filter
or bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed in the
same way as a filter cartridge.
