28 Changing The Water and Air Filters Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water and air filtering systems. The water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to produce ice. The air filter removes odors and impurities from the refrigerator compartment. NOTE The control panel includes controls to monitor the status of your water and air filters. See the Controls section for more information.
