Getting light to turn off after changing water filter

We changed water filter but the light indicating that the filter needs changed won't go off, how do I get the light to turn off?

    Same thing. Just put in the first filter. Press and hold the reset gutton until it chirps, but the light doesn't go out. The fridge is a GE Profile.

Press and hold the lock and light buttons (lock and water on newer fridges) on the dispenser for about 4 seconds, until the indicator light blinks

Try this. It worked for me: change the dispenser choice. For example, you probably have it on "water" when you have been trying to reset it (unsuccessfully). Switch it to ice or crushed ice and then hold the reset button. It should reset now.

I have some slight OCD so with hat being said this red light staying on after replacing the filter is making me crazy. 1st time giving me trouble after a few filter changes. I pulled the fridge out unplugged and replugged it in a few times and nothing. Cleaned up back there so I felt somewhat accomplished but still the red light is haunting me... So I turn to google. 1st couple forum say hold the button down blah blah blah. Tried that a million times.
This forum was my lifesaver! I was victorious! I did what the guy up there said... Hold the lock button at the same time as, not the light button, but the reset button and it worked. Light and lock didn't work for my GE fridge but Lock and Filter Reset did. I can now with my OCD issues have a good day thanks to Lock and Reset LoL.
Thank you!!

SRS580DW Water filter indicator red light is on. Where in the fridge do I find it to take it out to replace pleace?

Resetting the water filter indicator light can also be found in the user manual for your SRS580DW Refrigerator User Manual page 8 The water filter indicator initially lights up green. Press the ICE TIMER and ICE MODE buttons at the same time for about three seconds to reset the water filter installation date. • The green light changes to orange after five months to indicate that you should soon change the water filter. It changes to red after an additional one month (six months after the water filter was changed or installed) to indicate that you must change the water filter. • If you wish to turn off the filter indicator lamp or the filter is not connected, press the ice timer & ice mode button simultaneously for 5 seconds. If you wish to turn on the filter indicator lamp again, press the ice timer & ice mode button simultaneously for 3 seconds. Click Here for the SRS580DW User Manual I am here should you have questions Thanks Sea Breeze

Filter light will not turn off

Resetting your Refrigerator filter indicator light after changing your water filter

Some people are not aware that after you change your refrigerator water filter, there are two more steps that should be taken to complete the water filter change process.

Step 1:
Reset your water filter indicator light - Most new refrigerators come equiped with an indicator light that notifies you when it is time to change your water filter. This light does not automatically reset when you change your water filter. Here is a list of refrigerator manufacturers and how to reset the indicator light.

GE General Electric Refrigerators - Press and Hold the Reset Button for around 8 Seconds.

Step 2:
Flush a couple of gallons of water through your new filter. Since most refrigerator water filters are made of carbon, some carbon residue is present in the first gallon or two of water. This will leave a bitter taste and residue in your water. If you continue to have these problems after flushing a couple of gallons through the filter, it is possible that you have a defective water filter.

How to change water filter?

Hi

Find the indication light, located at the top of the Whirlpool refrigerator just inside the door. This tells you when to change your water filter. A green light indicates the filter is good and a red light indicates you need to change the filter.

Find the filter knob. It is usually located at the base of the refrigerator in the kick plate or grill.

Turn the knob a quarter turn to the left to unlock the filter. Pull out and remove the old filter.

Add a new filter and push in. Turn the filter a quarter turn to the right to secure it in place.

Reset your filter indication light inside the refrigerator. Press down and release the switch five times within 10 seconds. The filter indication light should then turn green.
Please get back to us if you have further query or else please accept the solution.

Thanks for contacting fixya.com

Change filter light won't go off

The Change Filter indicator light is controlled by a timer, rather than detecting the condition of the filter. After changing the filter, hold down the timer and speed buttons for about 5 seconds. This turns off the indicator light and resets the timer.

I changed my water filter and now i need to turn out the filter warning light.

WATER FILTER CHANGE REMINDER
(Select Models)
For some refrigerator models featuring
water filters, the Water Filter Change
Reminder function monitors the life of the
filter and provides a reminder when it is time
for the filter to be changed.
When the system detects either 12 months
of usage, or the filtering of 416 gallons of
water (whichever comes first), the CHANGE
FILTER
indicator light will illuminate. This
indicates that the water filter should be
changed and the light reset.
To reset CHANGE FILTER light: Press and
hold the LIGHT and LOCK pads until the
CHANGE FILTER light blinks (approx. 3
seconds). The control is now reset for 12
months or another 416 gallons.
Note: The Water Filter Reminder will
operate if the filter bypass is in place.

Can't identify "water filter indicator light"

the indicator light could be on the control panel inside the refr section if your controls are there, or it is most likely on the front of the dispenser panel. it only comes on when you draw water from the dispenser and thats when you will see it be green, filter ok, yellow, filter at 80% life, or red, time to replace the water filter.
also you dont need to shut off the water when changing the filter as it is made with a shut off device in the filter housing already and is automatic.
by the way filters are expensive, go online and check prices. google "water filters" and find a good price.
