Possible Solutions

Does the water filter need to be changed?

We recommend replacing the filter every 9 months or when the ice making rate starts to decrease. The "Replace Filter" light only comes on after 9 months or 2000 gallons of water use. Customers with very hard water may need to replace their filters before these counts are reached.
