- Open the filter cartridge housing, at the back upper-right corner of the refrigerator compartment, by squeezing the 2 front tabs and gently pulling down.
- Rotate the old filter down, grasp it and slowly turn it counterclockwise about a quarter turn. It releases itself when turned far enough; a little water may drip.
- Line up the ports on the new filter with the ports on the cartridge holder and gently insert the filter.
- Slowly turn the filter to the right until it stops, without overtightening. It moves about a quarter turn (90 degrees) until its arrow aligns with the arrow on the holder.
- Slowly push the filter up into the clips and close the housing by pushing the lid up until the tabs lock.
- For dispenser-only models, run water from the dispenser for 2 gallons (7.6 liters), about 5 minutes. For icemaker-only models, discard the first bin of ice.
- Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER button on the dispenser for 3 seconds. On select models the reset happens automatically when a new filter is installed.
The dispenser and icemaker do not operate without either the filter or the filter bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge.
