Water Filter Cartridge - XWF
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge holder is located in the
back upper-right corner of the fresh food refrigerator
compartment.
When to Replace the Filter
If there is a replacement indicator light for the water filter
cartridge on the dispenser, the red filter light will start
blinking to tell you that you need to replace the filter soon.
- For external control models, the filter light will blink
while you are dispensing until the filter is replaced.
- For top control models, the filter light will blink while
the door is open until the filter is replaced.
For models that don't have the indicator light, the filter
cartridge should be replaced every six months, or earlier
if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Removing the Filter
If you are replacing the filter, first remove the previous
one:
1. Open the filter cartridge housing by squeezing the 2
front tabs and gently pulling down.
2. Rotate the filter down.
3. Gently grasp the filter and slowly turn it
counterclockwise about a ¼ turn. The filter should
automatically release itself when you have rotated it far
enough to the left. 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.
Filter Bypass Plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water
leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models
do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To
obtain a free bypass plug, call 800-GECARES. The
dispenser and icemaker will not operate without either the
filter or bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed
in the same way as a filter cartridge
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age
to have access to small parts during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be
replaced every 6 months at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
