About the water filter. (on some models) 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. CAUTION: If air has been trapped in the system, the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use caution when removing. 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: For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE branded SmartWater filters only. Using GE branded filters in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE branded SmartWater filters are always the right choice because they are patented and designed specifically for GE products. GE SmartWater filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. GE has not qualified non-GE branded filters for use in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE branded filters meet GE's standards for quality, performance and reliability. 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.
