The Water Filter Status Light The water filter status lights will help you know when to change your water filter. ■■ The "Order Filter" status light will be illuminated when it is time to order a replacement filter. ■■ The "Replace Filter" status light will be illuminated when it is time to replace the filter. ■■ Replacing the disposable water filter with a new filter will automatically reset the filter status tracking feature. See "Using the Controls." Replace the Water Filter To purchase a replacement water filter, see "Accessories." Replace the disposable water filter when indicated on the water filter status display or at least every 9 months. If the ice making rate decreases before the Replace Filter light illuminates, then replace the filter. 1. Locate the water filter compartment in the right-hand side of the control housing. See Step 3 in the "Install Water Filter" section. 2. Turn the water filter counterclockwise (to the left), and pull it straight out of the compartment. NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling may occur. 3. Install the replacement water filter by following steps 2 through 5 in the "Install the Water Filter" section. Normal Sounds Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces such as floors, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them. ■■ You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the water pan for each cycle. ■■ Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also make noises. ■■ The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high pitched sound. ■■ Water running over the evaporator plate may make a splashing sound. ■■ Water running from the evaporator plate to the water pan may make a splashing sound. ■■ As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker. ■■ You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. ■■ During the harvest cycle, you may hear a "thud" when the ice sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter grid. ■■ When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice. ■■ If the ice maker is connected to a water supply pressure in excess of 60 psi, you may hear a loud sound during water filling associated with the flow of water through the inlet valve. Call a licensed, qualified plumber to determine the best method to reduce the supply water pressure (50 psi is recommended). 3
