About the GE Appliances

MWF water filter cartridge.

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in back upper right

corner of the refrigerator compartment.

When to replace the filter on models with a

replacement indicator light

There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter

cartridge on the dispenser. A red light will start blinking 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.

When to replace the filter on models without a

replacement indicator light

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months

or earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker

decreases.

Removing 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.

NOTE: To reduce the risk associated with property damage

due to water leakage, read and follow instructions before

installation and use of this system. Installation and use MUST

comply with all sate and local plumbing codes.

CAUTION

If air has been trapped in the system,

the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use

caution when removing.

Installing the Filter Cartridge

1. Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to

allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after

installation.

2. Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder.

Place the top of the new cartridge up inside the holder. Do

not push it up into the holder.

3. Slowly turn it to the right until the filter

cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As

you turn the cartridge, it will automatically

raise itself into position. The cartridge will

move about a 1/2 turn.

4. Run water from the dispenser for 1-1/2

gallons (about three minutes) to clear the

system and prevent sputtering.

5. Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad (on some

models) on the dispenser for three seconds.

NOTE: A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause water

to spurt from the dispenser.

Filter Bypass Plug

You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter

cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will

not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.

WARNING

To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts

during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every 6 months at the rated

capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.

For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE-branded filters only. Using GE-branded

filters in GE and Hotpoint

refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE 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.
