As we all know, your refrigerator’s water filter was designed to remove contaminants from the water it produces. This helps to allow you to provide your family with the freshest water possible from your home.
Typically, you are to change your refrigerators water filter every six months. However, we do recommend that you check the manufacturer’s manual for what they specify to be in complete alignment with their recommendations. Although many refrigerators have a light indicator when it’s time to change the filter.
It is necessary to change the water filter to ensure it operates properly. Leaving the water filter unchanged for extended periods of time can result in unpleasant smells to your fridge and bacteria growth. These are the last things that I would want to encounter when getting a glass of water!
In order to change the filter, it is always best to review your manufacturer instructions. Otherwise, you can follow the instructions I have here for my whirlpool refrigerator:
First, put a few paper towels near the area of the water filter. Next, push to open the lever for the water filter. Afterwards, pull the old filter out. Once the old filter is out, push in the new filter. After the new filter securely in its place, close the lever. At this point, you may have some water seep out.
Once the water filter is in place, reset the change light and enjoy your new filter and fresh water.
As another tip, I recommend signing up to your manufacturer website for deals. Many refrigerator manufacturers offer deals on water filters and other items.
