Water Filter Cartridge - XWFE
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. In Canada, call
800.561.3344. 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.
For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE Appliances recommends the use of GE Appliances-branded
filters only. Using GE Appliances-branded filters in GE Appliances and Hotpoint® refrigerators provides optimal
performance and reliability. GE Appliances filters meet rigorous industry standards for safety and quality that are
important for products that are filtering your water. GE Appliances has not qualified non-GE Appliances-branded
filters for use in GE Appliances and Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE Appliances-branded
filters meet GE Appliances standards for quality, performance and reliability.
