Replacing the water filter in your Whirlpool Side By Side Refrigerator is a straightforward process that can be done in just a few simple steps. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you:
Step 1: Identify the location of your water filter
The water filter in your Whirlpool Side By Side Refrigerator is located inside the refrigerator compartment, usually on the lower left side of the appliance.
Step 2: Turn off the water supply
Before you begin the replacement process, it is essential to turn off the water supply to the refrigerator. You can do this by turning off the valve located behind the appliance.
Step 3: Remove the old water filter
Once the water supply is turned off, you can remove the old water filter. To do this, grasp the filter and turn it counterclockwise until it releases from the filter housing.
Step 4: Install the new water filter
Take your new water filter and insert it into the filter housing. Make sure that it is aligned correctly and insert it into the housing until it clicks into place.
Step 5: Turn on the water supply
After installing the new filter, turn on the water supply by turning the valve back on.
Step 6: Flush the water system
To ensure that the new filter is working correctly, it is necessary to flush the water system. This can be done by running about two gallons of water through the dispenser until the water runs clear.
Step 7: Reset the filter status indicator light
If your refrigerator has a filter status indicator light, you may need to reset it after replacing the filter. To do this, press and hold the reset button for about 5 seconds until the light turns green.
And that’s it! By following these simple steps, you can replace the water filter in your Whirlpool Side By Side Refrigerator and keep your water clean and healthy.
