What to do when Replace Filter light (ice maker) shows on the home applianceKind of codeFilters
A filter has reached the end of its life or is clogged enough for the appliance to notice: a refrigerator water cartridge past its gallons or months, a hood's grease or charcoal filter loaded with residue, a dish-care filter packed with food, a washer inlet filter choked with grit. The fix is a clean or a new filter of the right part number, fitted with the appliance unplugged and the water closed where there is one, then the reminder reset.

Fresh filters in dispensers and ice makers, and scale cleared from steam ovens, ice makers and dish care machines.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Café's own guidance for Replace Filter light (ice maker) on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Order a replacement GSWF-style cartridge once the Replace Filter light turns on steady.
Open the water filter access door and turn the old filter to release it.
Install the new cartridge and confirm it seats and locks correctly.
Replace the filter sooner than six months if ice production drops noticeably before the light comes on.

What not to do
A lit or flashing Replace Filter light is a scheduled-service reminder, not a sign the ice maker's compressor or auger has failed — the unit keeps making ice on an expired filter, just without fresh filtration.
