Replace the Water Filter

To purchase a replacement water filter, see “Accessories.”

Replace the disposable water filter when indicated on the water 
filter status display or at least every 6 months. If water flow to 
your dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably, change the 
water filter sooner.   

1. Locate the water filter compartment in the right-hand side of 

the refrigerator ceiling. Push up to release and lower the 
compartment door. 

2. Turn the water filter counterclockwise (to the left), and pull it 

straight out of the compartment. 

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

3. Install the replacement water filter by following steps 2 

through 7 in the “Install the Water Filter” section.

Install Air Filter 

(on some models)

An air filter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at 
reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator. 

On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes 
an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. 

Installing the Air Filter 

Install the air filter behind the vented door, located on the rear 
wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment.

1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.

2. Lift open the vented door.

3. Snap the filter into place. 

Installing the Filter Status Indicator 

The filter comes with a status indicator, which should be 
activated and installed at the same time the air filter is installed. 

1. Place the indicator face-down on a firm, flat surface.

2. Apply pressure to the bubble on the back of the indicator until 

the bubble pops to activate the indicator.

3. Lift open the vented air filter door. On some models, there are 

notches behind the door.

■

With the indicator screen facing outward, slide the 
indicator down into the notches.

NOTE: The indicator will not easily slide into the notches 
if the bubble has not been popped.

■

Close the air filter door, and check that the indicator is 
visible through the window in the door.

■

Place the indicator somewhere it is easily visible - either 
inside the refrigerator, or elsewhere in your kitchen or 
home.
