What causes the red water filter indicator light to show on my fridge?
The refrigerator may be factory set to change the filter every 3 to 6 months. Some filter lights sense the water flow and will recommend a new water filter after a certain amount of gallons flow through. Other water filters have a microchip in them that tells the fridge computer that a new water filter is installed. Some refrigerators just count the time (usually 6 months) from when you last reset the water filter light manually. On refrigerators like these, you will have to manually reset the water filter indicator every time you install a new water filter.
