How long should my Maytag Fridge Filter last?
Refrigerator manufacturers strongly recommend that fridge water filters be replaced every 6 months or when the "change filter" light comes on. However, if you notice the clarity or taste of your water changing, that's the best indication that it's time for a new filter! This ensures that your water remains fresh and your refrigerator's ice & water mechanisms are protected from corrosion.
Useful Tips for installation and re-setting the fridge after changeover:
Installing your new water filter:
- Unlatch the plastic filter cover, and let it swing down (so you can see the filter)
- Twist the old filter a quarter-turn counterclockwise
- Pull the filter straight out and discard (The water will shut off automatically)
- Push the new filter into the fridge until it stops
- Twist the filter a quarter-turn clockwise
- Swing the plastic filter cover up until it snaps closed
- Reset your "change filter" light (if your fridge has one)
Resetting the ‘change filter’ light: Please refer to your user manual for step by step instructions on how to reset the light on your fridge!
