Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the fresh food 
interior on the left side wall, near the top.
Select models use radio frequency identification 
(RFID) to detect leaks and monitor filter status. The 
RFID technology is certified by the FCC.
When to Replace the Filter Cartridge
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six 
months or earlier if 170 gallons of water has been 
dispensed or the flow of water to the dispenser or 
icemaker decreases.
Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will 
appear on the screen when the water filter needs 
to be replaced. The filter status will automatically 
update when the filter is replaced.
Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light will 
illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs 
to be replaced.
Removing the Filter Cartridge
To replace the filter, first remove the old cartridge by 
opening the filter door and pulling on the bottom of 
the cartridge to allow it to swing outward. When the 
cartridge can no longer swing, gently pull to unseat it

A small amount of water may drip out.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
1. Align top of filter with cartridge holder and push 
until cartridge is fully seated. The arrow on the 
label should point up if cartridge is oriented 
correctly. 
2. While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated 
in the holder, gently swing the filter inward until it 
is in position. If filter will not swing easily, check to 
ensure filter is properly aligned and fully seated 
within the cartridge holder.
3. Run two gallons of water through the cold water 
dispenser (about 5 minutes) to remove air from 
the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will 
cause water to spurt from the dispenser. Use a 
large pitcher or sports bottle to catch the water 
spray. 
4. Reset Filter Status message (non-touch screen 
models).
Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored 
during the initial system flush. Water color will return 
to normal after first few minutes of dispensing.
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 
the 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.
