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 replace filter indicator on the display, press
and hold the water button for 3 seconds until you see the
³5HSODFH:DWHU)LOWHU´LQGLFDWRUDQGKHDUWKHWRQHZKLFK
