Dacor built-in column — the Filter indicator blinks red
Dacor's own current owner's manual for its built-in column freezers and refrigerators ties the Filter indicator directly to use: after roughly six months, or about 300 gallons dispensed through the original cartridge, the light blinks red until the filter is changed and the reset button is pressed.

What to do when Filter Reset 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.
Shows up asWater or Ice Tasting Stale: Filter Age, Scale and Idle Lines
Water or ice tasting stale is dispenser water, cubes or nugget ice with a flat, musty, chemical or freezer-food taste, often cloudy, slow to come or smaller than it used to be.

Dacor kitchens tend to combine pro-style gas cooking, steam-assisted ovens and column refrigeration, so a visit looks after burners, scale and coils together.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for Filter Reset on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Order the matching replacement cartridge for the column model before starting.
Replace the water filter following the cartridge housing steps in the owner's manual.
Press and hold Filter Reset for the full three seconds the manual specifies to clear the light.
If the light stays lit after a confirmed new cartridge and a proper reset, book a visit to check the housing sensor.

It usually turns into water filter and descaling service. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
A blinking red Filter light is a use-based schedule reminder, not a report that the icemaker or dispenser has stopped working. A unit that has actually stopped dispensing water with a fresh filter installed points to the water line or valve instead.

A booking goes further when it has the reminder or code as shown, the model number from the rating plate, and a word on when that filter, screen or tub was last cleaned. With those three, the office can pack the right filter or cleaner for your appliance.
