Refrigerator Water Filter Replacement Guide & Schedule

Refrigerator water filters should be replaced on a schedule to maintain water quality and flow. This guide helps distributors and service teams advise customers and plan stock.

How often to replace

Most refrigerator water filters are rated for about six months or a set gallon capacity, whichever comes first. High-use or hard-water sites may need more frequent changes.

Signs a filter needs changing

• Slower water/ice dispensing
• Off taste or odor
• Filter-status indicator light
