• Let's first start by turning the water valve OFF that connects to the refrigerator water line.
• Dispense any remaining water left in the water line. Lay a dry towel on a floor.
• Open the left side of the refrigerator door and remove the bottom door bin.
• Grab each end with both hands and lift up and out to remove the door bin.
• You'll then notice the water filter housing.
• Swing the old filter out slightly and grab the bottom of the old filter and turn counterclockwise until it releases.
• The model number posted here toward the top should be written down. This will be necessary when purchasing your part online or at your local home improvement store.
• Be sure to clean up any spill during this process using a soft dry towel.
• Once a new filter has been acquired, remove it from the packaging and make sure to take the cap cover off.
• Once the cap cover has been removed, place a new water filter in the water filter mount and turn the filter clockwise until it is fully locked in place.
• Then swing the new filter back into the filter housing and slide your door bin back into place.
• Be sure to push down on your door bin until it is fully seated on the mount supports.
• Once installed, turn the water valve ON. That connects your refrigerator water line.

This spends about 2 and 1/2 gallons of water in 30 second intervals to purge and prime the new water filter with the water system. Lastly, reset the water filter indicator light by holding down the button next to it for about 3 seconds. Your indicator light will switch off.
