Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary supplies on hand. You’ll need your GE RPWFE water filter, which should come with installation instructions, as well as a towel or cloth to clean up any spills.

Step 2: Locate the Filter Compartment

Locate the filter compartment inside your refrigerator. This is typically located in the upper right-hand corner of the refrigerator compartment, although the exact location may vary depending on your refrigerator model.

Step 3: Remove the Old Filter

Twist the old water filter counterclockwise to remove it from the filter compartment. Be careful not to spill any water that may be trapped inside the filter housing.

Step 4: Prepare the New Filter

Before installing the new filter, remove any protective caps or packaging from the filter. Some filters may come with a sticker covering the o-ring seal – make sure to remove this sticker before installation.

Step 5: Install the New Filter

Align the new water filter with the filter compartment, ensuring that the arrow on the filter is pointing towards the back of the refrigerator. Insert the filter into the compartment and twist it clockwise until it locks into place. You should feel the filter lock securely into position.

Step 6: Flush the System

Once the new filter is installed, it’s important to flush the water system to remove any air pockets and trapped contaminants. To do this, dispense several gallons of water through the water dispenser on your refrigerator. Discard the first few batches of water to ensure that any residual particles or air bubbles are flushed out of the system.

Step 7: Check for Leaks

After flushing the system, check the filter compartment and surrounding area for any signs of leaks or drips. Wipe up any spills with a towel or cloth, and inspect the filter housing and connections to ensure they are secure.

Step 8: Reset the Filter Status Light

If your refrigerator is equipped with a filter status light, reset it after installing the new filter. Refer to your refrigerator’s user manual for instructions on how to reset the filter status light.
