FAQ about Refrigerator Water Filters
It is recommended to replace your water filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on use. The porous activated carbon inside the filter will trap the contaminants and eventually will be filled and start to slow the water flow. Changing your water filter periodically will also help prevent gunk buildup and water contaminants entering into your water and ice.
Flushing your water filter will remove the carbon dust that has accumulated inside the water filter and remove air in the water filter. Place a medium size water pitcher under the water dispenser and press the water release button to remove air, carbon dust and water. This process takes approximately 3 to 4 medium size pitchers or 4 to 5 glasses of water to flush. Once the water flow is smooth and the water is clear, your filter is ready.
Most manufacturers reset procedures are to press your FILTER or FILTER RESET button from 5 to 7 seconds. Please check our website for specific filter reset specifications in our installation manual. If this reset procedure is not applicable for the new filter, please refer to your refrigerator's owner manual.
