PureSource TM * ICE AND WATER FILTER (some models)
NOTE: If you purchased a refrigerator with a PureSource TM * Ice and Water filter, please read the following use
and care information. This ice and water filter system filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser. It is
located in the upper right back corner of the fresh food compartment.
System Startup:
Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not use ice and water dispenser while installing filter. The filter
cartridge has already been installed in the filter housing at the factory. Refer to the
How The Water Dispenser Works section to
properly fill the system with water.
Order new filter cartridges through the
dealer where you bought the refrigerator,
contact the
Customer Care Center at
1-800-944-9044, or go to our web site at
www.frigidaire.com. It might be good to
order some filter cartridges when you first
install your refrigerator. Be sure to ask for
the RG-100 PureSource™* replacement
cartridge.
On models without a Filter Status reset button, there is a set of Reminder
Stickers included in the envelope that the Use & Care Manual came in.
Choose a dated sticker that indicates 6 - 9 months (depending on your
water quality and usage) from the date of installation. Place the sticker on
the front of the filter cup to remind you when it is time to change the filter.

Changing the Filter:
Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the water filter every
6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest possible water quality. If the filter
has been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for
example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator. The dispenser
system will also operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed).
To change filter:
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.
1. Open freezer door and leave open until filter change is complete.
2. Set ice maker wire signal arm to the OFF (up) position (See illustration on
page 13).
3. Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew towards left (Some water could
leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.). Filter cartridge should come
down with cup. If cartridge remains in housing, pull down gently, while
twisting filter back and forth.
4. Rinse out cup under running water.
5. The large o-ring that seals the filter system sets in the o-ring groove
down inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter cartridge
replacement, simply place it back in the groove prior to screwing the cup
back in place. If the o-ring becomes damaged, you will need to order one
from the
Consumer Assistance Center .
6. Discard old filter cartridge.
7. Remove new filter cartridge from packaging and place in cup. The end
with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.
8. Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. Do Not Use Wrench To Reinstall
Cup. Filter cartridge will self-align as cup is tightened. Be sure cup is
completely tightened with
PureSource™ logo facing outward. Do Not
Tighten Past Stop.
9. Set ice maker wire signal arm to the ON (down) position.
10. Check for leaks. Open refrigerator door. Wipe any water droplets from the
filter cup. Fill a glass with water. If there is a leak, unscrew filter cup, and
reinsert the filter cartridge. Check placement of large O-ring. Reinstall
filter cup, making certain it is tightened completely.
11. To condition filter system and purge air from water line, fill a glass with
water. Continue flushing the system for approximately 3 minutes to assure
that the purest water possible is stored in the water tank.
