• Inside the grille at the base of the refrigerator
• On the middle of the refrigerator’s left interior side
• In the back upper-right corner of the refrigerator’s interior

How often should I change the water filter in my fridge?
Your filter collects harmful particles and contaminants, making your water cleaner and safer, but reducing the filter’s effectiveness over time. For the best-tasting water your filter can provide, we recommend changing the water filter in your fridge every six months, or as needed.

What can happen if I don't change my water filter?
A spent carbon filter may not capture particles or remove microscopic contaminants as effectively as it should. What’s more, a filter in need of replacement can create issues for your appliance and reduce the quality of your water. In some cases, it can even lead to damage to
your water filtration system.

Is a fresh filter necessary?
Home tap water only needs to meet the minimum water quality standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Many experts agree these standards are too lenient and can allow for harmful contaminants in your drinking water. With an Electrolux Genuine Water Filter, you’ll have more peace of mind with up to a 99.9% reduction of contaminants.*
