Product Description

This water filter is found in the rear upper-right corner of the interior of the refrigerator. If your model has a replacement indicator light it will turn red to signal the need for a replacement. If your model does not have an indicator light, the filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if you notice a decrease in the flow of water from the dispenser. The filter media is carbon black and reduces leads, some pharmaceuticals, and fifty other contaminates. It is 2 inches deep, 6 inches high, 2.25 inches wide and weighs approximately 1 lbs. When it comes time to replace the filter, first discard the old one by turning it to the left to remove. It will release itself when it has been turned far enough. Installation instructions are quick and simple but can vary slightly depending on if it is a bottom-freezer, side-by-side or multi-door bottom-freezer model. Refer to the user instructions for you filter. Do not forget to reset the filter change indicator if applicable. In bottom-freezer and side-by-side models this is done by pressing and holding the RESET WATER FILTER bottom for three seconds. On a multi-door bottom-freezer model, press the button underneath the Confirm Filter Change message while the water is dispensing. On select models this reset is done automatically once a new filter is installed.

I replaced the XWFE water filter. The first time (6 months ago) I replaced it there was no problem, everything worked. This time I put the new one in and the display reads ERR and no water flows. I removed it and tried again with no better results. I put the old one back in and it would still let us dispense water. The next day I tried the new one and tried to find what was going on with no remedy. I put the old one back in and it now does not work either. What shall I do?

DOES ANY ONE MAKE A BY PASS FOR THE WATER FILTER (XWFE). I do not need one as I have a 5 micron filter on my water system and on my own well so no need for an extra filter that costs too much for six month time of use.
