The Dispenser Lock
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and
pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser
light. It simply deactivates the controls and dispenser levers. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and
Storage Bin.”
• Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the
dispenser.
• Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock
the dispenser.
The display screen indicates when the dispenser is
locked.
WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the refrigerator compartment.
Water Filter Status Light
When a water filter has been installed in the refrigerator, the water filter status lights help you know when
to change your water filter.
• The water filter status icon will change from Normal (blue water) to Order (red waves) and “Order
Filter” (orange) when 90% of the volume of water for which the filter is rated has passed through the
filter OR 5 months have passed since the filter was installed.
• The “Replace Filter” (red) icon illuminates and blinks continuously during dispensing when the rated
volume of water has passed through the filter OR 6 months have passed since the filter was installed.
A new water filter should be installed immediately when the Replace light is illuminated.
• After 14 days at Replace Filter stage, the “Replace Filter” and “water” icons will glow (red) at all times
and blink continuously during dispensing. Also, an alert chime will sound three times following
dispensing.
The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months. If the water flow to the water
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more
often.
Reset Water Filter Status
After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status. On the display screen, press and hold FILTER
RESET for 3 seconds. The status light will change from Replace Filter (red) to Normal (white waves and
water drop) when the system is reset.
Replacing the Water Filter
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water and filter to eject. Always dispense
water for at least 2 minutes before removing the filter or blue bypass cap.
1. To access the filter, press upward on the ribbed section of the water filter cover.
2. Turn filter counterclockwise to remove.
3. Remove sealing label from replacement filter and insert the filter end into the filter head.
4. Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover closed.
5. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”
NOTE: The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter installed. Your water will not be filtered.
If this option is chosen, replace the filter with the blue bypass cap.
