Introduction

Water filters help to purify tap water by removing contaminants. They also help to improve the smell and taste of the water and ice dispensed from the refrigerator. The water filter should be replaced about every six months, depending on how much or little you use the water and ice dispenser.

Before beginning, be sure to remove any objects surrounding the water filter housing to allow for easy access.

The following instructions will guide you in replacing your water filter.
