   Press and hold the "Filter Reset" button for 3 seconds. This might be inside the door to the right if you don't see a panel on the front of the door.

   • Look for buttons with dual purposes. For example, on some standard models, pressing the "Ice Maker" button for 3 seconds doubles as the "Filter Reset" button, and on other models, pressing the "Alarm" button for 3 seconds works as well.
   • Some 4-door models require you to press and hold "Crushed Ice" to reset the filter.
