How to Install EveryDrop Water Filter 1: Step-by-Step Guide

Replacing the water filter in your refrigerator helps keep both the water and ice tasting clean and fresh. For refrigerators that use an EveryDrop Water Filter 1, the process is straightforward and generally takes only a few minutes.

This guide explains how to install the EveryDrop Water Filter 1 for the two most common filter locations.

Before You Begin

Before installing a new filter:

Make sure you have the correct EveryDrop Water Filter 1 or a compatible replacement.
Remove all packaging materials from the new filter.
Check that both O-rings are properly seated.
Keep a towel nearby, as a small amount of water may drip when removing the old filter.

Installation Method 1: Filter Located in the Top-Right Corner

In many refrigerators, the filter sits inside the fresh food compartment, up in the right-hand corner.

Installation Steps

I. Find the water filter in the upper-right corner of the refrigerator compartment.

II. Lift the filter cover to open it. The filter should release automatically as the cover opens, partially ejecting from its housing.

III. Pull the old filter straight out. A small amount of water may drip during removal; this is normal.

IV.Remove the packaging and protective cap from the new filter, then check that the O-rings are still properly installed.

V. With the arrow facing upward, align the new filter with its housing and slide it into place. The filter cover will start closing automatically.

VI. Press the filter cover shut until it snaps firmly into place. Some pressure may be needed.

Installation Method 2: Filter Located in the Base Grille

Some refrigerator models have the filter behind the base grille at the bottom of the appliance.

Installation Steps

I. Find the filter compartment in the base grille, then pull the filter-cover door open.
II. When the cover opens, the old filter will release automatically and move partway out.
III. Pull the old filter straight out. A little water may spill, so keep a towel close by.
IV. Take off the packaging and protective covers from the new filter, making sure both O-rings stay in place.
V. Pointing the arrow to the left, toward the filter door hinge, align the filter with the housing and slide it into place. The filter door will start closing automatically.
VI. Push the filter cover all the way closed until it locks. Firm pressure may be needed.

Flush the New Filter

After installing the new filter, flush it before drinking the water. Run several gallons through the dispenser to clear trapped air and loose carbon particles, and to make sure the filter works properly.

For the first few minutes, the water may sputter or look cloudy because of tiny air bubbles. That’s normal; flushing should clear it.

Troubleshooting Installation Problems

If the filter does not fit or lock into place:

Confirm that you are using the correct EveryDrop Water Filter 1 or a compatible replacement.
Check that the filter is aligned in the correct direction.
Verify that the O-rings are properly installed and undamaged.
Avoid forcing the filter into the housing, as this may damage the filter or refrigerator.

If the filter still cannot be installed, refer to your refrigerator owner’s manual for model-specific instructions.
