The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter. When the status light changes from green to
yellow, this tells you that it is almost time to change the water
filter. It is recommended that you replace the filter when the
status light changes to red OR when water flow to your water
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. The filter should be
replaced at least every 6 months depending on your water quality
and usage. To change the filter, see "Water Filtration System."

B. Light switch
After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the status light by
pressing the light switch 5 times within 10 seconds. The light will
change from red to green when the system is reset.
Non-Indicator Water Filter (on some models)
If your refrigerator does not have the water filter status light, you
should change the water filter cartridge at least every 6 months
depending on your water quality and usage. If the water flow to
the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before
6 months have passed, replace the water filter cartridge more
often.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
