USING THE REFRIGERATOR: XWFE Water Filter
XWFE Water Filter
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the left-hand
refrigerator door behind the rectangular access panel.
When to Replace the Filter Cartridge
The Replace Filter message on the control panel
will illuminate when the water filter cartridge needs to
be replaced soon. The Filter Expired message will
illuminate when the water filter cartridge needs to be
replaced. The water filter can be replaced earlier if the
flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
REMOVING THE FILTER
If you are replacing the filter,
first remove the previous one
by gently grasping the filter and
slowly turning it to the left,
about a ¼ turn. The filter
should automatically release
itself when you have rotated it
far enough to the left. 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.
FILTER BYPASS PLUG
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water
leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models
do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain
a free bypass plug, call 800.692.6630 and request
WR17X33825 filter bypass plug. In Canada, call
800.561.3344. The dispenser and icemaker will not operate
without either the filter or bypass plug installed. The bypass
plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge.
INSTALLING THE FILTER IN A BOTTOM
FREEZER REFRIGERATOR
1. Open the filter cartridge
housing by pulling the door
open.
2. Line up the ports on the filter
with the ports on the filter
cartridge holder, and gently
insert the filter.
3. Slowly turn the filter to the right until it stops. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the filter, it will
automatically adjust itself into position. The filter will
move about a ¼ turn or 90 degrees, until the filter
cannot be turned, and the label faces outward.
4. Slowly push the filter up into
the clips.
5. Close the filter cartridge
housing by gently pushing
the door closed until the tabs
lock into place.
6. Confirm that filter fault
condition is no longer present on the controls display.
7. Immediately after filter change, allow the pitcher to
autofill and empty pitcher into sink four times. This will
purge the new filter of normal black carbon dust that is
discharged during the initial use.
