About the water filter. (on 22 and 23 models only) Cartridge Holder Cartridge Holder (on some models) Water Filter Cartridge Filter Bypass Plug The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right corner of the refrigerator compartment. When to Replace the Filter There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge on the temperature display. This light will turn orange to tell you that you need to replace the filter soon. The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement indicator light turns red or if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases. Installing the Filter Cartridge If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by slowly turning it to the left. DO NOT pull down on the cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down. You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. The icemaker will not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug. Replacement Filters: To order additional filter cartridges in the United States, visit our Website, GEAppliances.com, or call GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002. Filter Model MWF Customers in Canada should consult the yellow pages for the nearest Mabe Service Center. CAUTION: If air has been trapped in the system, the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use caution when removing. Remove the protective foil from the end of the cartridge. Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after installation. Lining up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder, slowly rotate the cartridge clockwise until it stops. When the cartridge is properly installed, you will feel it "click" as it locks into place. Do not overtighten. Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes (about 11ø2 gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering. See To Use the Dispenser section. Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad for 3 seconds. NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to spurt from the dispenser. (on some models) 6
