Ater filter change my indicator light stays red on my whirlpool ref.do I need to be con

I reinserted the filter and followed instructions of pushing reset button 5 times for 10 seconds but light will not reset to green. Is this just an indicator system problem or something I need to be concerned about? I have replaced filters 5-6 times and never had this problem. The water system seems to work ok.

SOURCE: need to know where/how to

Hi, you will find the filter at the front of the appliance. If you look at where the two doors meet in the middle, right at the bottom of the appliance - you may have to open the door to see this properly there is a circular hole in the air vent grating with a handle. Turn this anti-clockwise - may be quite stiff but will go - and pull out old filter cartridge. reverse these instructions with new cartridge, hey presto, new filter installed.

Hope this helped

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

My icemaker has stopped working ,also i changed the water filter but it still reads that i need a new filter

Push and hold the button for the filter, and it should reset, the ref. the light will come on based on time, not a dirty filter, so use your water flow out of the spout, as a indicator.

I have a side by side refrigerator & the water filter light is red & the filter needs to be changed. The refrigerator was manufactured 11/04 model # ED26HEXNQ00. I don't know what kind of...

The light will just come on based on time not on if the filter is really need to be changed, you can push and hold the button to reset it, and another six months or so it will light up again. I do not have the same model as you, but mine is in side the ref. top right side, others are on the water line in back.
I have two filters before the refrigerator on mine still go's off I just reset it. If the filter is really needing to be replaced your water would slow to a trickle.
