I put a new water filter in my refrigrator and the light inside the door is yellow, it should be green

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.

Reset Filter (select models)

When a water filter has been installed in the

refrigerator, the yellow Order light will illuminate when

90 percent of the volume of water for which the filter is

rated has passed through the filter OR 11 months have

elapsed since the filter has been installed.

The red Replace light will illuminate when the rated

volume of water has passed through the filter OR 12

months have elapsed since the filter was installed. A

new filter should be installed immediately when the

Replace light is illuminated.

After replacing the filter, press and hold the Reset

Filter pad for three seconds. The Order and Replace

lights will go off.

Vacation Mode

The Vacation Mode feature causes the freezer

to defrost less frequently, conserving energy. The

Vacation Mode indicator light will illuminate when the

feature is activated. To deactivate, press the Vacation

Mode pad again OR open either door. The indicator

light will go off.

Hi there,

If the light on your refrigerator is green, you don't need to change the filter. If it's red, then it's time to change it.
Next, locate the filter knob at the base of the refrigerator. Turn it 1/4 to the left and then pull out the filter. Put in the new filter, then lock it by turning th knob back to the right.

Reset the indication light inside the refrigerator by pushing it 5 times within 10 seconds. The light should then turn green again.

If you're referring to the water filter indicator light that goes from green to yellow to red when it's time to change the filter, you press and hold the WATER FILTER button down until it blinks 5 times. The indicator light will change from red to green when the system is reset.

Hi, it is worth fixing. There is a drain plugged in the freezer. Get me model # and I can assist you further on this matter.

Thanks

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.

I discovered by sheer luck that if I hold down the OK button for a few seconds the filter indicator changed from the flashing 1% to 99%.

try holding ice type and child lock together for 3 seconds that worked on mine
