If the water filter status light is lit on your Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator, use the following instructions to reset the light. Be sure to consult your product manual before you begin.
Step 1: Locate the reset button- The water filter light and reset button should be easy to spot. On most side-by-side refrigerators, the reset button can be found on the control panel located on the exterior of the freezer door.
Step 2: Check the status light- Check the color of the status light. An orange status light needs to be reset, while a blue light indicates proper filter function.
Step 3: Reset the filter light- Push and hold the water filter reset button until you hear a chirping or beeping noise. You can release the button once the noise is heard.
