About the GE® MWF water filter cartridge
Water filter cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the 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. 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.
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.
CAUTION: 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
state and local plumbing codes.
Installing the filter cartridge
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap
1
to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately
after installation.
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.
Slowly turn it to the right until the filter
3
cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position.
The cartridge will move about a ½ turn.
Run water from the dispenser for 1-1/2 gallons (about three
4
minutes) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
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.

cysts. EPA Establishment Number 10350-MN-005.
Water Pressure 40-120 psi (2.8-8.2 bar)
Water Temperature 33°F-100°F (0.6°C-38°C)
NOTICE
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow use instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.

exceeds 80 psi, you must install a pressure-limiting valve. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer
conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature
of this filter system is 100º F (38º C).
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop below 33ºF (0.6ºC).
