One of the best ways to maintain your Kitchen refrigerator is to change its water filter regularly. Changing the water filter makes sure that you have access to clean and freshwater that is safe to drink. Despite replacing the water filter is a simple task, most homeowners don’t pay attention to replacing it because they don’t have any idea what filter they should secure, how to change it, or how many times it needs to be changed.
If you need to change the water filter in your fridge, it is recommended that you utilize original components certified by the manufacturers. When you want to get an affordable replacement, you may search on the internet for the water filter that fits the model of your unit, as it aids you to secure the generic replacement filters for your KitchenAid refrigerator. But know that if you opt not to buy the components recommended by the manufacturer, there is no assurance that it complements, or that it works properly.
How to Replace Your Filter
If you have bought a replacement water filter, it is relatively simple to set up the water filter on the KitchenAid refrigerator. Just do these simple steps to change the water filter on your KitchenAid:
Find The Filter
On your unit, the water filter is found in the refrigerator on the upper right side. You will see the filter storing as it looks similar to a regular filter, and comes with a tab you can twist that releases the seal and opens the filter section.
Uninstall The Old Filter
If you have identified and opened the filter section, uninstalling the old filter is just easy. Simply hold the filter tightly and turn it counterclockwise and downward. The filter should be uninstalled easily, but when you are having a difficult time, do not pressure it as you may damage the refrigerator. A careful turn is all that should be done to eliminate the filter.
Install The New Filter
Prior to installing the new filter, you must take out the foil seal on the filter. Then, arrange the notches on the filter that opens the spaces on the base. If the filter is arranged properly, press and turn clockwise until the filter is sealed into place, then close the filter compartment. If your filter is set up, it is essential that you load gallons of water to flush it out.
