Amana Refrigerator · Error code Filter / Replace Filter

What Filter / Replace Filter Means

A timer or flow-meter has reached the threshold for water filter replacement (typically 6 months or 200-300 gallons). This is a reminder, not a fault.

Symptoms

  • 'Filter' or 'Replace Filter' light
  • Slower water dispense
  • Slight taste change

Common Causes

1
Filter at end of service life

Time/usage threshold met.

2
Reminder not reset after replacement

Filter changed but indicator never cleared.

How to Fix It

  1. Buy a genuine EveryDrop filter matching your model (EDR1RXD1, EDR2RXD1, EDR3RXD1, etc.).
  2. Turn the filter housing 1/4 turn and pull out (push-button on some models).
  3. Insert the new filter and lock in place.
  4. Dispense ~4 gallons of water to purge air and carbon fines.
  5. Reset the indicator: press and hold the Filter / Reset button for 3 seconds.
