How To Reset The Water Filter Indicator On a Kenmore Fridge.

WATER FILTER CHANGE REMINDER (Select Models) For some refrigerator models featuring water filters, the Water Filter Change Reminder function monitors the life of the filter and provides a reminder when it is time for the filter to be changed. When the system detects either 12 months of usage, or the filtering of 416 gallons of water (whichever comes first), the CHANGE FILTER indicator light will illuminate. This indicates that the water filter should be changed and the light reset.

To reset CHANGE FILTER light: Press and hold the LIGHT and LOCK pads until the CHANGE FILTER light blinks (approx. 3 seconds). The control is now reset for 12 months or another 416 gallons.

Hi,

Welcome to Nestwell Property Managements 24/7 DIY Maintenance Center. Thank you for your question regarding the water dispenser on your Kenmore Refrigerator. In our experience, most water and ice dispenser issues can be fixed by replacing an old filter with a new filter.

The following videos will show you how to replace the water filter in Kenmore Refrigerators

Bottom Panel Filter:

Interior Filter:

Sometimes, on interior filters, the casing will be placed in a panel that recesses into the roof of the refrigerator. There will be an indicator showing you where the filter can be found. Usually, a gentle push on the panel will make the casing drop down so you can access the filter.

In the event changing the water filter does not fix the problem, please reach out to our maintenance team and we will be happy to assist you.

Please be aware, in the event a vendor is dispatched to attend to the issue at hand, and it's found the filter was the issue, a trip fee, and other associated costs will be applied to your tenant ledger.

If you need additional assistance, please log in to your Resident Portal and Request a Repair.

Thank you,

A Sears Kenmore fridge requires a water filter to keep the impurities from the ice maker and the water dispenser. The filter removes chlorine taste and odor along with led, asbestos and mercury. It can last for up to six months before the filtered impurities clog the filter cartridge. Once the filter has clogged, you can no longer dispense water, and the ice maker no longer produces ice. Replace the water filter to return the Sears Kenmore fridge to working condition.

Unplug the fridge from the wall outlet.
Spread a small towel on the floor in front of the fridge to catch any water from the old water filter.
Grab the filter handle protruding through the grill along the bottom of the fridge. Turn the filter handle counterclockwise until it releases from the connector inside the filter housing.
Pull the old filter from the refrigerator. Slide the handle off the back of the old filter. Throw away the old filter.
Slide the slot in the handle over the end of the replacement filter. Pull the protective cap from the end of the new filter.
Insert the replacement filter through the grill and into the filter housing. Turn the handle on the replacement filter clockwise until it locks in place.
Plug the Sears Kenmore into the wall outlet.
