Part #GSWF
This OEM filter is sold individually. Change your filter every 6 months for the best results. This filter is found in top-freezer and bottom-freezer refrigerators located in the back upper right corner. It measures 4.75-Inches deep 9.5-Inches high and 5.25-Inches wide. It is certified to reduce particles chlorine-resistant cysts lead and five other impurities. The pressure requirement is 40-120 PSI (if yours exceeds this you?ll need to install a pressure-timing valve) and the operating temperature needs to be 33-100 degrees Fahrenheit. It filters down to 0.5-1 microns. The installation is simple and does not require any tools or mess. To remove the old cartridge turn it to the left and pull down carefully. Some water might drip so keep a cloth handy. To install the new filter place it into the cartridge holder and turn to the right until it will no longer turn. If you have a top-freezer model it should be situated vertically and if it is a bottom-freezer model it should be placed horizontally. Be careful not to over-tighten. If your model has a replacement indicator light reset it by pushing and holding it down for three seconds. If your model has a dispenser run water through it for approximately 3 minutes to clear the system. Please note that this filter will not work in Kenmore brand models.

Opened the water filter sleeve on the inside of my refrigerator. Removed the old water filter cartridge. It was a little stuck so I used a pliers to turn the cartridge counterclockwise. The old cartridge slipped out. I inserted the new cartridge and turned it in clockwise until it "clicked." Closed the water filter sleeve. Reset the butto n on my fridge. All set to go.
