How the reminder works

Your next replacement date is your last-replaced date plus your chosen interval (3, 6, or 12 months). Most manufacturers recommend every 6 months, though households with heavy dispenser or ice-maker use often need it sooner.

Choosing a replacement filter

Genuine (OEM)

Made by your fridge’s manufacturer. Guaranteed fit and certified performance, usually the most expensive option.

Compatible / aftermarket

Cheaper generic filters built to fit your model. Look for NSF/ANSI certification so filtration quality isn’t a guess.

Find your exact model

Check the old filter’s housing or your fridge’s manual — the model number is usually printed right on the cartridge.

Common questions

The model number is usually printed on the old cartridge itself, or listed in your fridge’s manual under water filter replacement.

Water and ice flow can slow down, taste or odor can return, and filtration effectiveness drops off well before the cartridge is fully clogged.

Not on its own — download the calendar file or add the event to Google Calendar to get a reminder on your own devices.

No, this tool doesn’t save anything between visits. Add the reminder to your calendar before you leave if you want to keep it.
