About the water filter.
(on 20 models only)
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the
back upper right corner of the refrigerator
compartment.
When to Replace the Filter
The filter cartridge should be replaced when
the flow of water to the icemaker decreases, or
every 6 months.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first
remove the old one. Open the cartridge
cover by pressing in on the tab at the front
and pulling down.
Remove the cartridge by slowly rotating it
counterclockwise. A small amount of water
may drip down.
CAUTION
If air has been trapped in the
system, the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is
removed. Use caution when removing.
Remove the protective foil from the end of
the cartridge.
Lining up the arrow on the cartridge and
the cartridge holder, slowly rotate the
cartridge clockwise until it stops. When the
cartridge is properly installed, you will feel it
"click" as it locks into place. The grip on the
end of the cartridge should be positioned
vertically.
Do not overtighten.
Close the cartridge cover.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available. The
icemaker will not operate without the filter or
filter bypass plug.
