Reset Water Filter Indicator Light

RESET WATER FILTER INDICATOR LIGHT ONLY AFTER WATER FILTER HAS BEEN REPLACED 

Instructions for replacing filter & resetting indicator light

If the water filter indicator will not reset, this may indicate that the function can only be reset every 6 months like clockwork. To reset the water filter indicator on most models, press and hold the filter button for 3-5 seconds. Refer to your owner’s manual for instructions on resetting the water filter indicator. Please find following a few illustration examples of various refrigerator control panel series of buttons.

If the control panel is locked, the water filter indicator cannot be reset. To unlock the dispenser, press and hold the lock button for 3 seconds.

If the water filter indicator has not reached zero, it may not be possible to reset the filter indicator at this time. Some models can only be reset when the filter status indicator reaches zero despite customers having been proactive in replacing the water filter inside their refrigerator in advance.

WE PROFUSELY APOLOGIZE TO THOSE OPERATING A REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER FILTERING SYSTEM FEEDING PURE & CLEAN WATER TO THEIR REFRIGERATOR DISPENSER FOR THE INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING TO RESET THE FLASHING WATER FILTER INDICATOR LIGHT EVERY 6-MONTHS. TERRIBLY SORRY AS THIS FUNCTION CANNOT BE DISABLED.

TOUCH BUTTON TIP

For the obvious reason of real estate limitation on an appliance’s control panel, some buttons are assigned dual functionality. There is the primary function in larger size lettering and the secondary function identified by an asterisk followed by smaller size font immediately underneath the primary function text.

To activate the primary function, simply press the button dead center on the main text. To activate secondary function, PRESS & HOLD DOWN  button for 3 seconds or longer making sure your fingertip is applying pressure dead center on the main text.

Some customers have expressed concerns over inability to get button to respond successfully. Control panel soft membrane buttons are incredibly sensitive. Customers need to press button dead center else it will be unresponsive.

Following is an example from an LG Range/Oven control panel identifying equally a well with all other LG appliances:

Regardless whether selecting primary or secondary function, the fingertip must be applied dead center on that respective button's main text.

Pressing the button away from its center risks causing NO CONTACT failing to execute desired command.

Reiterating the concept, illustrated in the above case and, as it applies to refrigerators, customer wishing to Increase Ice Production or Speed of Freezing would press the ICE PLUS or Express Frz. button (depending on their refrigerator model) and quickly release it. However, if the intention is about RESETTING Water Filter Indicator Light, customers would PRESS & HOLD DOWN  the ICE PLUS, Express Frz. or Water Filter button (depending on their refrigerator model) for 3 seconds or longer until the Water Filter LED Light Indicator turns OFF.
