Water Filter Replacement

What Water Filter Replacement Involves

An ice maker's water filter removes chlorine, sediment, and odor from the water before it reaches the mold, and most manufacturers recommend replacing it roughly every six months regardless of how the ice looks or tastes. An overdue filter restricts water flow, which can slow ice production or produce smaller cubes, and lets odor and taste issues develop in the ice itself. Replacement involves shutting off the water supply, removing the old filter cartridge or inline filter, and installing a filter matched to the specific ice maker.
