The Indicator Light Is OnMany new fridges come with convenient indicator lights that let you know when your water filter needs replacing. Sometimes the indicator light is controlled by a simple timer while in other cases it might be linked to the actual status of the water filter, which is handy because not everyone uses the same amount of fridge water per day and your filter might need replacing sooner or later than your neighbor’s. It’s Been 6 MonthsMost refrigerator makers recommend that you replace your water filters every six months. Indeed, this is the recommended service life of most refrigerator water filters that you see. Often the filters will come with a little sticker where you can mark the date you installed the new filter to remind yourself of when a replacement is due. Your Water Dispenser Is SlowIf you have hard water, your water filter will be especially prone to clogging up with mineral deposits over time. Even if you have nice soft water, the filter may become clogged over time with the very elements it is filtering out of your water. If you notice that it’s taking longer and longer to fill your glass, it might be time to replace your water filter. Your Ice is GrossOften, when water filters start to have problems this affects the quality and quantity of the ice. If your icemaker always seems to be out of ice, or if that ice is overly cloudy or has a strange taste or odor, changing the filter could solve the problem. Your Water Tastes FunnyPerhaps the best measure of when you need to replace your water filter is your own taste buds. Whenever your water starts tasting odd to you, just replace the filter to enjoy refreshing, tasty water again. Where to Buy a FilterYour refrigerator may be compatible with more than one filter.
