How to Change a Kenmore Icemaker Filter

Step 1

Press the button on the bottom grille of the Kenmore to the left of the round water filter, which fits horizontally into the appliance. The filter pops out slightly.

Step 2

Twist the filter cartridge counterclockwise and pull it out of the refrigerator. Unscrew the black cap from the top of the filter cartridge.

Step 3

Remove the new cartridge from the packaging and pull off the red cap at each end.

Step 4

Screw the black cap onto the new filter cartridge and insert in the Kenmore. Twist one-quarter turn clockwise and press until the new filter clicks into place.

Step 5

Flush the Kenmore by running water through the dispenser into a drinking glass. Empty the glass and repeat for at least four minutes to remove air bubbles and clear the lines.

Tips

Empty your icemaker bin to make fresh ice after replacing the Kenmore water filter. This forces the icemaker to run another cycle, helping to keep the water lines clear.
