The function of the Refrigerator Water Filter is to filter the water supply to reduce and remove contaminants in your water supply for a certain period of time. The filter is meant to be easily accessible. You should be able to access it through the front, bottom panel of your fridge. This filter should regularly be replaced. It is recommended that the water filter be replaced every six months or every 200 gallons of water to ensure proper removal of impurities and to ensure best flow rates. If your filter isn't functioning properly, you will either get a buildup of impurities or impure water.

If the water is still flowing but it has been more than 6 months since you changed the filter, impurities may be entering your water supply.
