KitchenAid 22.7 Cu. Ft. Counter Depth Side-by-Side Refrigerator with Exterior Ice and Water Use & Care Manual

1. Press down the release lever and tilt the bucket outward. Use 

both hands to hold the base of the storage bin, and then lift it 
up and out. 

NOTE: It is not necessary to flip the ice maker On/Off switch 
to the OFF (down) position when removing the storage bin. 
The storage bin sensor, located on the left wall of the freezer 
door, stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is 
open or the storage bin is removed.      

2. Replace the bin by sliding it onto the door, then tilting it back 

into an upright position. The release lever will click when the 
bin is securely in place.

Water Filtration System

The water filter status light will help you know when to change 
your water filter. 

■

When the dispenser control panel’s water filter status display 
changes to “ORDER,” this tells you that it is almost time to 
change the water filter cartridge. 

■

Replace the water filter cartridge when the water filter status 
display changes to “REPLACE.” 

NOTE: If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker 
decreases noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter 
should be replaced at least every 6 months, depending on 
your water quality and usage.

■

After changing the water filter, reset the status light. Press the 
OPTIONS button to enter Options mode, then press LOCK to 
initiate the reset, then press MEASURED FILL to confirm that 
you want to reset the status light. 

When the system is reset, the “ORDER” and “REPLACE” 
icons will disappear from the display screen.

1. Locate the water filter in the top-right corner of the refrigerator 

compartment.

2. Lift open the filter cover door. The filter will be released and 

then be ejected as the door is opened.

3. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out.

NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling 
may occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.

4. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the cap. 

Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the cap is removed. 

5. With the arrow pointing up, align the new filter with the filter 

housing and slide it into place. The filter cover door will 
automatically begin to close as the new filter is inserted.

6. Close the filter cover door completely in order to snap the 

filter into place. You may need to press hard.

7. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”
