How often should I replace the water filter in my Kenmore refrigerator?

Asked 2 years ago
The frequency of replacing the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator largely depends on water usage and the specific model of the refrigerator. Generally, it is recommended to replace the water filter every six months to ensure optimal performance and maintain water quality. However, if the refrigerator dispenses a large volume of water or if the water supply is particularly contaminated, it may be necessary to replace the filter more frequently. Most Kenmore refrigerators are equipped with an indicator light that notifies owners when it is time to change the filter. If your model does not have this feature, be attentive to any changes in taste or odor of the water, as these may signal that the filter needs replacement. For specific guidelines or details regarding your particular model, it can be helpful to consult the user manual or the information available on the current Kenmore website regarding water filter maintenance.
