This OEM water filter works with side-by-side and bottom freezer refrigerators. You will find this filter mounted in a vertical position in the back upper right-hand corner of the refrigerator compartment. If your model does not have an indicator light, remember to use the month and year stickers on the new cartridge to remind yourself to...Read more replace it in another 6 months. Replacement timelines can vary according to your local water conditions. To install the new filter, you will first match the threads with the corresponding threads on the holder. Position the top of the new cartridge up into the holder without pushing it upward. Carefully turn it to the right until it will no longer turn. Make sure you run water through the dispenser right after installation. This clears the system and prevents sputtering. If you have an LCD model, press the Filter Replaced button to reset. If you have a non-LCD model, press and hold the Reset Water Filter button on the dispenser for a few seconds. This filter filters down to 0.5-1 microns. The lower the micron the more toxins are caught and lessened.
