About the Water Filter.
Water Filter Cartridge
The water fi lter 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 fi lter cartridge on the
temperature display. This light will
turn orange to tell you that you need
to replace the fi lter soon. The fi lter
cartridge should be replaced when the
replacement indicator light turns red or
if the fl ow of water to the dispenser or
icemaker decreases.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
Note: A newly-installed water fi lter
cartridge may cause water to spurt
from the dispenser.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the fi lter bypass plug
when a replacement fi lter cartridge
is not available. The dispenser
and the icemaker will not operate
without the fi lter or fi lter bypass
plug.
Replacement Filters:
For the maximum benefi t of your
fi ltration system, GE recommends
the use of GE branded SmartWater
fi lters only. Using GE branded fi lters
in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators
provides optimal performance and
reliability. GE branded
SmartWater fi lters are always
the right choice because they are
patented and designed specifi cally
for GE products. GE SmartWater
fi lters meet rigorous industry NSF
standards for safety and quality
that are important for products that
are fi ltering your water. GE has not
qualifi ed non-GE branded fi lters for
use in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators
and there is no assurance that
non-GE branded fi lters meet GE’s
standards for quality, performance
and reliability.
To order additional fi lter cartridges
in the United States, visit our

If you are replacing the cartridge,
fi rst 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 fi lter cartridge may
be ejected as it is removed. Use
caution when removing.
Remove the protective foil from the
end of the cartridge.
Fill the replacement cartridge with
water from the tap to allow for better
fl ow 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.
Run 1½ gallons (about 3 minutes)
from the dispenser to clear the
system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the R
