Hotpoint hsh25gfb User Guide

The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right

corner of  the refrigerator compartment.

There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter

cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to tell you

that you need to replace the filter soon.
The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement

indicator light turns red or if  the flow of  water to the dispenser or

icemaker decreases.

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months

or earlier if  the flow of  water to the water dispenser or icemaker

decreases.

If  you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by

slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on the cartridge. A

small amount of  water may drip down.

If you are replacing a
SmartWater

cartridge

with an adapter, it must

be removed before

installing the cartridge.

To remove the adapter,

turn it to the left about

1/4 turn.
If  you are replacing a
Water by Culligan

cartridge,

leave the adapter in place.

This adapter will stay in the refrigerator when you replace

future cartridges.
On models without a replacement indicator light, 

apply the month and year sticker to the new cartridge to

remind you to replace the filter in six months.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to

allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after

installation.

Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder.

Place the top of  the new cartridge up inside the holder. Do

push it up into the holder.

Slowly turn it to the right until

the filter cartridge stops. DO

As you turn

the cartridge, it will

automatically raise itself  into

position. The cartridge will

move about 1/2 turn.
Run water from the dispenser

for 1-1/2 gallons (about three

minutes) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad (on 

some models) on the dispenser for three seconds.

You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter

cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will not

operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.

To use the filter bypass plug on Water by Culliganmodels, you must first remove

the filter adapter from the cartridge holder by turning it to the left.
For the maximum benefit of  your filtration system, GE

recommends the use of  GE branded SmartWater filters only.

Using GE branded filters in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators

provides optimal performance and reliability.  GE branded

SmartWater filters are always the right choice because they are

patented and designed specifically for GE products.  GE

SmartWater filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for

safety and quality that are important for products that are

filtering your water.  GE has not qualified non-GE branded filters

for use in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no

assurance that non-GE branded filters meet GE’s standards for

quality, performance and reliability.

The icemaker will fill with water when 

it cools to 15°F. When the bin fills to the level

of  the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop

producing ice.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of  the

feeler arm.

Throw away the first few batches of  ice to allow

the water line to clear.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per

cycle—approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-

hour period, depending on freezer

compartment temperature, room

temperature, number of  door openings and

other use conditions. 
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the

icemaker fills with water.
